Questions & Answers about אני לא בטוח שהתשובה הזאת נכונה.
In Hebrew, the verb to be is usually omitted in the present tense.
So instead of saying the answer is correct, Hebrew says literally:
- התשובה הזאת נכונה = the answer this correct
This is completely normal Hebrew.
If you wanted past or future, then Hebrew would use a form of to be:
- התשובה הזאת הייתה נכונה = This answer was correct
- התשובה הזאת תהיה נכונה = This answer will be correct
Just like in the second part of the sentence, Hebrew often leaves out am/is/are in the present tense.
So:
- אני בטוח = I am sure
- אני לא בטוח = I am not sure
Literally, it is more like:
- I not sure
But in natural English we translate it as I’m not sure.
