Questions & Answers about אני רוצה למחוק את התשובה ולכתוב אותה על דף חדש.

Why is the sentence using אני רוצה? Could Hebrew just say רוצה למחוק...?

Yes, in many real-life situations Hebrew can drop אני because the verb form and context already make the subject clear. So:

• אני רוצה למחוק... = I want to erase/delete...
• רוצה למחוק... can also mean I want to erase/delete... in casual speech, depending on context

However, including אני is very common and completely natural. It can make the sentence clearer or slightly more explicit, especially for learners or in more careful speech.

Why is רוצה written this way? Does it change depending on who is speaking?

Yes. רוצה is the present-tense form of to want, and it changes by gender and number.

Here are the common forms:

• אני רוצה = I want
  
  • if the speaker is male, it is pronounced rotze
  • if the speaker is female, it is pronounced rotza
• אתה רוצה = you want (male)
• את רוצה = you want (female)
• הוא רוצה = he wants
• היא רוצה = she wants

Without vowel marks, רוצה looks the same for masculine singular and feminine singular, but the pronunciation differs.
