בגלל הנזילה האינסטלטור יגיע הערב, למרות שהוא בדרך כלל בא בבוקר.

Hebrew often moves a reason phrase to the front for emphasis. Starting with בגלל הנזילה puts the focus on the cause: because of the leak.

A more neutral order would also be possible:

האינסטלטור יגיע הערב בגלל הנזילה.

Both are natural. The given version just highlights the reason first.

בגלל means because of / due to and is followed by a noun phrase:

• בגלל הנזילה = because of the leak

כי means because and is followed by a full clause:

• האינסטלטור יגיע הערב כי יש נזילה = The plumber will come tonight because there is a leak

So in this sentence, בגלל is used because the next words are a noun phrase, not a full clause.

ה־ is the Hebrew definite article, the equivalent of English the.

• נזילה = a leak
• הנזילה = the leak
• אינסטלטור = a plumber
• האינסטלטור = the plumber

Hebrew attaches the directly to the beginning of the word instead of using a separate word.

יגיע is the 3rd person masculine singular future form of להגיע (to arrive / to reach).

Here it agrees with האינסטלטור, which is masculine singular, so יגיע means:

• he will arrive
• or in context, he will come

Hebrew often uses להגיע where English might simply say come, especially when arrival is the focus.

Yes. האינסטלטור יבוא הערב would also sound natural.

The difference is small:

• יבוא = will come
• יגיע = will arrive / will get here

In everyday speech, both can work here. יגיע gives a slight sense of arrival at the destination.

In Hebrew, many time expressions use ה־ and still function like adverbs in English.

For example:

• היום = today
• הלילה = tonight
• הערב = this evening / tonight

So the ה־ here is part of a normal time expression and does not need a separate English the.

שהוא is made of two parts:

• ש־ = that
• הוא = he

So שהוא literally means that he.

In this sentence, למרות שהוא... means something like:

• although he...
• even though he...
• despite the fact that he...

Here הוא is natural and helpful because בא is a present-tense form, and present-tense forms in Hebrew do not clearly mark person the way future-tense forms do.

So:

• הוא בא = he comes
• היא באה = she comes

Without הוא, the clause would sound incomplete or awkward here. In present-tense clauses, Hebrew often needs the subject pronoun.

Because that part of the sentence is not describing tonight's special visit. It is describing the plumber's usual habit:

שהוא בדרך כלל בא בבוקר = that he usually comes in the morning

So the main event is future:

• יגיע הערב = will come tonight

But the contrasting background fact is habitual/present:

• בדרך כלל בא בבוקר = usually comes in the morning

בדרך כלל means usually / generally / as a rule.

Literally, it is something like in a general way, but learners should treat it as a fixed expression meaning usually.

In the sentence:

הוא בדרך כלל בא בבוקר

it modifies the verb בא and tells you this is his normal routine.

Because the preposition ב־ (in / at) combines with the definite article ה־ (the).

So:

• ב + ה + בוקר
• becomes בבוקר

This is a normal contraction in Hebrew.

So בבוקר means in the morning.

No.

• אבל = but
• למרות ש־... = although / even though / despite the fact that...

So למרות שהוא בדרך כלל בא בבוקר is stronger and more specific than just but he usually comes in the morning. It introduces a contrast in a more formal, tightly connected way.

The comma separates the main clause from the contrasting subordinate clause.

Main clause: בגלל הנזילה האינסטלטור יגיע הערב

Contrasting clause: למרות שהוא בדרך כלל בא בבוקר

In English, you would usually separate this kind of although/even though clause too, so the comma helps show the structure clearly.
