Questions & Answers about המאמן שלנו אף פעם לא צועק, והוא תמיד מסביר לאט.
המאמן means the coach. In this sentence, Hebrew uses the definite form because the speaker is talking about a specific coach: our coach.
So:
- מאמן = a coach / coach
- המאמן = the coach
When you add שלנו afterward, the whole phrase means our coach, but Hebrew still normally keeps the definite article:
- המאמן שלנו = our coach
This is very common in Hebrew:
- הבית שלי = my house
- המורה שלנו = our teacher
שלנו means our.
In Hebrew, possessive words like שלי (my), שלך (your), שלו (his), שלה (her), שלנו (our) usually come after the noun, not before it as in English.
So:
- המאמן שלנו = literally the coach our
- natural English: our coach
A few examples:
- החבר שלי = my friend
- המשפחה שלה = her family
- המכונית שלנו = our car
So the word order is normal Hebrew word order.
