Questions & Answers about אני צריך להביא את הצילום לבנק.
Why is it צריך and not צריכה?
צריך is the masculine singular form, so this sentence is said by a male speaker.
- אני צריך להביא... = I need to bring... (said by a man)
- אני צריכה להביא... = I need to bring... (said by a woman)
Even though אני means I for both men and women, the word צריך / צריכה changes to match the speaker’s gender.
Why is להביא used here?
להביא is the infinitive form of the verb, meaning to bring.
After צריך (need / have to), Hebrew normally uses an infinitive:
- אני צריך להביא = I need to bring
- literally: I need to-bring
So this works much like English need to bring.
