Questions & Answers about המנהל עוד בחדר, ולכן אני אחכה כאן.
In Hebrew, the verb to be is usually not expressed in the present tense.
So:
- המנהל עוד בחדר
- literally: the manager still in the room
- natural English: The manager is still in the room
This is completely normal Hebrew. In past and future, Hebrew does use forms of to be, but in the present it is usually omitted.
Here, עוד means still.
So המנהל עוד בחדר means The manager is still in the room.
This is a very common word, but it can also mean other things in other contexts, such as:
- more
- another
- yet / still
So learners often need to rely on context. In this sentence, still is the right meaning.
