Questions & Answers about את יכולה להביא עוד סכין מהמטבח?

Why is את here, and how do I know it means you and not the direct-object marker את?

Because Hebrew writes both words the same way in unpointed text.

Here, את means you addressed to one female, and it is pronounced at.
The direct-object marker את is pronounced et and appears before a definite direct object, which is not what is happening here.

In this sentence, את is the subject: you can bring...

Why is this sentence addressed to a woman?

Because it uses the feminine singular forms:

• את = you (to one female)
• יכולה = can / able to in the feminine singular

If you were speaking to one male, it would be:

אתה יכול להביא עוד סכין מהמטבח?

Why is יכולה feminine?
