Questions & Answers about אחרי שנגיע למלון, אני רוצה לשבת ליד החלון ולראות את הים.
A useful way to break it up is:
- אחרי שנגיע למלון = after we arrive at the hotel
- אני רוצה = I want
- לשבת ליד החלון = to sit ליד the window / by the window
- ולראות את הים = and to see the sea
So the overall pattern is:
[time clause], [main clause]
Hebrew often puts the time clause first, just like English can: After we arrive at the hotel, I want to sit by the window and see the sea.
The ש is a shortened form of אשר / that / which, but in modern Hebrew it very often works like that or helps introduce a subordinate clause.
Here:
- אחרי = after
- שנגיע = that we will arrive / we arrive
Together, אחרי ש... means after ... when what follows is a full clause.
So:
- אחרי שנגיע = after we arrive
This is very common Hebrew:
- אחרי שנאכל = after we eat
- אחרי שנסיים = after we finish
In writing, the ש is attached directly to the next word.
