אם זה דחוף, תשלחי לי הודעה מיד.

Because תשלחי is addressed to one female person.

In Hebrew, verb forms often show:

• person
• number
• gender

Here are the matching forms of to send in this kind of sentence:

• תשלח = you will send / send! (to one male)
• תשלחי = you will send / send! (to one female)
• תשלחו = you will send / send! (to more than one person)

So this sentence is specifically being said to a woman.

Grammatically, תשלחי is the 2nd person feminine singular future form of לשלוח (to send).

But in everyday Hebrew, the future tense is very often used to give:

• instructions
• requests
• commands

So although the form is technically future, in this sentence it functions like:

• send me a message right away

This is very common Hebrew usage.

Yes. You could also say:

• אם זה דחוף, שלחי לי הודעה מיד.

Here שלחי is the true imperative form for one female.

The difference is mostly about style:

• שלחי = more directly imperative
• תשלחי = very common in spoken Hebrew, often slightly softer or more conversational

Both are natural.

Because Hebrew usually does not need subject pronouns when the verb already tells you who the subject is.

In תשלחי, the verb itself already tells us:

• you
• singular
• feminine

So adding את (you, feminine singular) is usually unnecessary unless you want emphasis or contrast.

For example:

• אם זה דחוף, את תשלחי לי הודעה מיד would sound more emphatic, like you should send me a message immediately.

אם means if here. It introduces a condition:

• If it’s urgent, ...

This is one of the most basic uses of אם.

A useful extra note: אם can also mean whether in other sentences, but in this example it clearly means if.

זה דחוף is a very common way to say it’s urgent in Hebrew.

Here זה works a lot like English it in impersonal statements:

• זה חשוב = it’s important
• זה מעניין = it’s interesting
• זה דחוף = it’s urgent

Even though זה is grammatically masculine singular, this pattern is often used in a general, neutral way.

If you were describing a specific noun, the adjective would match that noun:

• המקרה דחוף = the case is urgent
• הבעיה דחופה = the problem is urgent

But in this sentence, זה דחוף is the natural general expression.

דחוף means urgent or pressing.

Yes, it can change form to match gender and number when it describes a noun:

• דחוף = masculine singular
• דחופה = feminine singular
• דחופים = masculine plural
• דחופות = feminine plural

In זה דחוף, it appears in the masculine singular form because it follows זה.

לי means to me / for me, and in Hebrew these short prepositional pronoun forms often come right after the verb.

So:

• תשלחי לי הודעה = send me a message

This word order is very natural.

Compare:

• תשלחי לי הודעה = neutral, natural
• תשלחי הודעה לי = possible, but less natural and usually more emphatic

So the sentence uses the normal everyday order.

הודעה literally means message, notice, or notification, depending on context.

In this sentence, it usually means:

• a message
• a text
• a written message

Because of modern usage, many people will understand הודעה here as something like a text or chat message, but the word itself is broader than just SMS.

Because הודעה here is indefinite:

• הודעה = a message
• ההודעה = the message

The sentence means send me a message, not send me the message, so there is no ה־ definite article.

מיד means:

• immediately
• right away

So it adds urgency.

This is different from עכשיו, which usually means:

• now

Compare:

• שלחי לי הודעה עכשיו = send me a message now
• שלחי לי הודעה מיד = send me a message immediately / right away

In this sentence, מיד fits especially well because the condition is urgency.

Because the sentence begins with a conditional clause:

• אם זה דחוף = if it’s urgent

Then comes the main clause:

• תשלחי לי הודעה מיד = send me a message immediately

In English, we also usually put a comma after an opening if clause. Hebrew punctuation often follows the same logic here, so the comma is natural and helpful.

It is fairly neutral and natural.

It is not especially formal, but it is also not rude. The tone depends a lot on context and voice.

A few comparisons:

• אם זה דחוף, תשלחי לי הודעה מיד. = neutral, natural
• אם זה דחוף, שלחי לי הודעה מיד. = a bit more direct
• אם זה דחוף, בבקשה תשלחי לי הודעה מיד. = more explicitly polite

So the original sentence sounds like normal everyday Hebrew.

The dictionary form is לשלוח, meaning to send.

תשלחי comes from that verb.

A few related forms:

• לשלוח = to send
• שולח = sends / sending (masculine singular present)
• שולחת = sends / sending (feminine singular present)
• תשלחי = you will send / send! (feminine singular)

This is a useful verb to know because it is very common in everyday conversation.
