גם אני רוצה ללכת הביתה עכשיו.

Here, גם means also / too.

In גם אני, it emphasizes I too or me too. So the sentence is not just about wanting to go home; it specifically adds that I also have that desire.

A useful rule:

• גם often goes right before the word it affects.

So:

• גם אני = I too / me too
• אני גם רוצה = I also want
• אני רוצה גם ללכת = I also want to go

The meaning is similar overall, but the focus shifts.

Usually, אני is needed here.

In Hebrew present tense, the verb form רוצה shows gender and number, but not person clearly enough by itself. רוצה could mean:

• I want (male speaker)
• you want (male singular)
• he wants

Or, with the feminine pronunciation, it could also be:

• I want (female speaker)
• you want (female singular)
• she wants

So אני is important because it tells you the subject is I.

As written without vowel marks, רוצה can be either:

• רוֹצֶה = rotze = masculine singular
• רוֹצָה = rotza = feminine singular

So this sentence could be said by either a man or a woman. The spelling stays the same in normal unpointed Hebrew; only the pronunciation changes.

Yes. In Modern Hebrew, forms like רוצה function as the present tense.

So:

• אני רוצה = I want
• literally, it comes from a participle-like form, but in normal learning and usage, you can treat it as the present tense of to want.

This is very common in Hebrew. Present tense verbs often look like adjective/participle forms and agree with gender and number.

Because Hebrew usually uses this pattern:

• רוצה + infinitive
• want + to ...

So:

• רוצה ללכת = want to go

This is very similar to English structure:

• I want to go
• אני רוצה ללכת

The word ללכת is the infinitive, meaning to go or sometimes to walk, depending on context.

This is a very common learner question.

Many Hebrew infinitives begin with ל־, which is the infinitive marker meaning to.

The verb הלך (to go) is somewhat irregular, and its infinitive is ללכת.

So the short answer is:

• ללכת is just the correct infinitive form of הלך
• it means to go

It is best learned as a whole word:

• ללכת = to go

הביתה means home in the sense of to home / homeward after a motion verb.

So:

• ללכת הביתה = to go home

This is a very common fixed expression in Hebrew.

Historically, הביתה contains a special directional ending, sometimes called the locative heh, which adds the sense of motion toward a place.

So it is not just house; it means something like:

• toward the home
• more naturally: home

Because הביתה already includes the idea of movement toward home.

That is why Hebrew says:

• ללכת הביתה = to go home

and not normally:

• ללכת להבית ✘

You can compare:

• לבית = to a house / to the house / to home in a more literal or specific sense
• הביתה = the idiomatic way to say home after motion

So for everyday speech, ללכת הביתה is the natural expression.

That ה is part of the fixed form הביתה.

You can think of it as connected to the home / homeward, not just a house. In practice, learners usually just memorize:

• בית = house / home
• הביתה = home, when moving toward it

So even though English simply says home with no article, Hebrew often uses this built-in form.

Yes, it can move.

In this sentence, עכשיו at the end is very natural and neutral:

• גם אני רוצה ללכת הביתה עכשיו.
• I also want to go home now.

But Hebrew word order is fairly flexible, and moving עכשיו changes the emphasis:

• עכשיו גם אני רוצה ללכת הביתה = Now I also want to go home
• גם אני עכשיו רוצה ללכת הביתה = puts more focus on now
• גם אני רוצה עכשיו ללכת הביתה = possible, but less neutral in many contexts

So the end position is a common, straightforward choice.

It can mean either, depending on context, but here it most naturally means to go.

So:

• אני רוצה ללכת הביתה עכשיו usually means I want to go home now

If the speaker wanted to stress traveling specifically on foot, context would usually make that clear.

A common pronunciation guide is:

gam ani rotze/rotza lalekhet habayta akhshav

A bit more closely:

• גם = gam
• אני = a-NI
• רוצה = ROT-zeh (male) / ROT-zah (female)
• ללכת = la-LE-khet
• הביתה = ha-BAY-ta
• עכשיו = akh-SHAV

So the full sentence is approximately:

gam ani rotze lalekhet habayta akhshav
or
gam ani rotza lalekhet habayta akhshav
