לפני שאני שולחת את המסמך, אני קוראת שוב כל פרט, כי אני רוצה להבין את המטרה.

Because the speaker is female.

In Hebrew, verbs in the present tense agree with the gender of the subject. Since the subject is אני (I), the form of the verb shows whether the speaker is male or female.

• אני שולחת = I send / I am sending (female speaker)
• אני שולח = I send / I am sending (male speaker)

And likewise:

• אני קוראת = I read / I am reading (female speaker)
• אני קורא = I read / I am reading (male speaker)

So this sentence is being said by a woman.

Hebrew often repeats the subject pronoun when a new clause begins, especially in the present tense.

Here the sentence has two main parts:

• לפני שאני שולחת את המסמך = before I send the document
• אני קוראת שוב כל פרט = I read every detail again

In English, repeating I is normal too: Before I send the document, I read...

In Hebrew, this repetition is especially useful because present-tense verb forms do not clearly show person the way past and future forms often do. For example, שולחת tells you feminine singular, but not by itself whether it means I, you, or she. So אני helps make the subject clear.

לפני שאני means before I...

It is made of:

• לפני = before
• ש־ = that / when / which / introducing a clause
• אני = I

So:

• לפני שאני שולחת את המסמך = before I send the document

This is a very common Hebrew structure for before + clause.

You can think of it as:

• לפני ש... = before...
• לפני שאני... = before I...

Other examples:

• לפני שאני יוצאת, אני בודקת את הדלת. = Before I leave, I check the door.
• לפני שאתה מתחיל, תקרא את ההוראות. = Before you start, read the instructions.

את is the Hebrew marker for a definite direct object.

Here:

• המסמך = the document
• Since it is a specific, definite object, Hebrew puts את before it:
  • שולחת את המסמך

Important: את usually does not have a direct English translation. It is a grammar marker.

Compare:

• אני שולחת מסמך. = I am sending a document.
• אני שולחת את המסמך. = I am sending the document.

So את appears because המסמך is definite.

In Hebrew, כל usually takes a singular noun when it means every or each.

So:

• כל פרט = every detail / each detail

This is very normal Hebrew.

Compare:

• כל יום = every day
• כל ילד = every child
• כל שאלה = every question

If you want to say all the details, Hebrew would usually say:

• כל הפרטים

So there is a difference:

• כל פרט = every detail
• כל הפרטים = all the details

Both can be natural, but they are not exactly the same.

They are close in meaning, but not identical.

• כל פרט focuses on each individual detail
• כל הפרטים means all the details as a complete set

In this sentence, אני קוראת שוב כל פרט gives the sense of checking things carefully, one detail at a time.

So it sounds slightly more meticulous than simply saying all the details.

שוב means again, and in Hebrew it often comes right after the verb.

So:

• אני קוראת שוב כל פרט = I read every detail again

This word order is very natural.

Hebrew is somewhat flexible, but verb + שוב is common:

• אני בודקת שוב
• הוא מנסה שוב
• אנחנו חושבים שוב על הרעיון

If you move שוב, the sentence may still be understandable, but the version here is the most natural one.

It can mean either one, depending on context.

Hebrew present tense often covers both:

• I read
• I am reading

So:

• אני קוראת שוב כל פרט

could literally be understood as either:

• I read every detail again
• I am reading every detail again

In this sentence, the idea is probably more like a habitual or procedural action: Before I send the document, I read every detail again.

Because Hebrew uses an infinitive after verbs like want, can, need, start, and many others.

Here:

• רוצה = want
• להבין = to understand

So:

• אני רוצה להבין = I want to understand

This is very similar to English.

Other examples:

• אני רוצה לאכול = I want to eat
• היא צריכה ללכת = She needs to go
• אנחנו יכולים להתחיל = We can begin

להבין is the infinitive to understand.

The ל־ at the beginning often corresponds to English to in infinitives.

So:

• להבין = to understand
• לקרוא = to read
• לשלוח = to send

In this sentence:

• אני רוצה להבין את המטרה = I want to understand the purpose

So yes, the ל־ here is the normal infinitive marker.

כי means because in this sentence.

So:

• כי אני רוצה להבין את המטרה = because I want to understand the purpose

This explains the reason for reading the details again.

כי is one of the most common Hebrew words for because.

Example:

• אני לומד עברית כי זה מעניין. = I study Hebrew because it is interesting.

Because המטרה means the purpose / the goal, not just a purpose.

• מטרה = a goal / a purpose
• המטרה = the goal / the purpose

And since it is definite, it also takes את as a direct object marker:

• להבין את המטרה = to understand the purpose

This suggests there is a specific purpose in mind, probably the purpose of the document or of the action being discussed.

Yes. מטרה can mean goal, purpose, or target, depending on context.

In this sentence, purpose is probably the best fit:

• להבין את המטרה = to understand the purpose

But in another context it could mean:

• goal
• target

For example:

• המטרה שלי היא ללמוד עברית. = My goal is to learn Hebrew.
• הוא פגע במטרה. = He hit the target.

Hebrew present tense is often used for habitual actions, general procedures, or actions described as part of a routine.

So this sentence means something like:

• Before I send the document, I read every detail again...

This is not necessarily describing one exact moment right now. It can describe a usual practice.

English does something similar:

• Before I leave, I check the door.
• Before I send a message, I read it again.

So the Hebrew present tense here sounds natural.

Yes, that is also possible, but it gives a slightly different feel.

• לפני שאני שולחת את המסמך sounds natural for a routine or immediate process.
• לפני שאשלח את המסמך = before I send the document, with a more explicitly future-oriented feel.

Both can be correct, depending on style and context.

Very roughly:

• לפני שאני שולחת... = before I send / before sending, in a practical or habitual sense
• לפני שאשלח... = before I will send / before I send, more clearly future

The dictionary forms are usually given in the masculine singular past or as the infinitive, depending on the dictionary.

For these verbs:

• שולחת comes from לשלוח = to send
• קוראת comes from לקרוא = to read

So if you want to look them up, search for:

• לשלוח
• לקרוא

This is useful because Hebrew words often change shape depending on tense, gender, and number.

It is mostly neutral, natural standard Hebrew.

Nothing in it is slangy or especially literary. It would sound normal in both spoken and written Hebrew.

Words like:

• המסמך = the document
• פרט = detail
• המטרה = the purpose

make it sound a little more serious or professional than casual conversation, but the grammar itself is very standard and everyday.

Yes, that is a very natural English translation.

Hebrew:

• לפני שאני שולחת את המסמך, אני קוראת שוב כל פרט...

Natural English possibilities include:

• Before I send the document, I read every detail again...
• Before sending the document, I reread every detail...

The second version sounds especially smooth in English, even though the Hebrew literally uses before I send rather than a gerund form like before sending.
