אם לא נפתור את זה היום, נבקש עזרה מחר.

Because Hebrew often uses the future tense in both parts of a real future condition:

• אם לא נפתור את זה היום = if we don't solve it today
• נבקש עזרה מחר = we'll ask for help tomorrow

This is different from English, where we usually say if we don't solve it today rather than if we won't solve it today. In Hebrew, using the future after אם is completely normal here.

אם means if.

It introduces a condition:

• אם לא נפתור את זה היום = if we don't solve it today

So the whole sentence has the structure:

• condition: if we don't solve it today
• result: we'll ask for help tomorrow

לא is the regular Hebrew word for not.

So:

• נפתור = we will solve
• לא נפתור = we will not solve / we don't solve in this conditional sense

Hebrew usually forms simple negation by putting לא before the verb.

Yes. נפתור means we will solve.

It is first person plural future.

A useful pattern:

• אפתור = I will solve
• נפתור = we will solve

The prefix נ־ often marks we in the future tense.

נבקש also means we will ask/request.

It is the same grammatical person and tense as נפתור:

• נ־ = we
• future tense

So:

• נבקש עזרה = we will ask for help

את marks a definite direct object.

Since זה means this/it, it is a definite object, so Hebrew uses את before it:

• נפתור את זה = we will solve it / this

Important: את here does not mean with.
It is just the direct object marker.

Compare:

• אני רואה ספר = I see a book
• אני רואה את הספר = I see the book

Because זה is definite, את is required.

Because when זה is the direct object of the verb, Hebrew normally uses את before it.

So:

• זה = this / it
• את זה = this / it as a marked definite object

In everyday speech, את זה is the natural form after many verbs:

• אני יודע את זה = I know that
• נפתור את זה = we'll solve it

עזרה means help.

In Hebrew, the verb לבקש can take the thing being requested directly, so:

• לבקש עזרה = to ask for help

English needs for, but Hebrew does not here.

So:

• נבקש עזרה literally looks like we will ask help
• but the correct English meaning is we will ask for help

נפתור comes from the root פ־ת־ר.

This root is connected with meanings like:

• solve
• resolve
• sometimes interpret in certain contexts

Examples:

• לפתור בעיה = to solve a problem
• פתרון = solution

So in this sentence, נפתור means we will solve.

נבקש comes from the root ב־ק־ש, which is related to:

• ask for
• request
• seek

Examples:

• לבקש = to ask for / request
• בקשה = request

So נבקש עזרה means we will ask for help.

The comma separates the if-clause from the main clause:

• אם לא נפתור את זה היום, = if we don't solve it today,
• נבקש עזרה מחר. = we'll ask for help tomorrow.

This is similar to English punctuation when the conditional clause comes first.

Yes, but the given order is very natural.

The sentence starts with the condition, then gives the result:

• אם לא נפתור את זה היום, נבקש עזרה מחר.

You could also rearrange some parts for emphasis, but the original version is neutral and common.

For example, מחר could sometimes move earlier for emphasis, but the standard sentence is fine as written.

A simple pronunciation guide is:

Im lo nif-tor et ze ha-yom, ne-va-kesh ez-ra ma-khar.

A few notes:

• אם = im
• לא = lo
• נפתור = niftor
• נבקש = nevakesh
• מחר = makhar (with the Hebrew kh sound)

The stress is usually:

• nif-TOR
• ne-va-KESH
• ez-RA
• ma-KHAR

No. In Hebrew, the first person plural form works for:

• a group of men
• a group of women
• a mixed group
• sometimes even we in a general sense

So נפתור and נבקש are simply we will solve and we will ask. There is no separate masculine/feminine form for we in this tense.
