Questions & Answers about השחקן החדש והשחקנית החדשה לומדים יחד באוניברסיטה.
Because in Hebrew, adjectives usually come after the noun they describe.
- השחקן החדש = the new actor
- השחקנית החדשה = the new actress
So the Hebrew word order is different from English here.
Hebrew often repeats the adjective when each noun is being described separately:
- השחקן החדש
- והשחקנית החדשה
This is very natural, especially because the two nouns have different genders, so the adjective must match each one.
Hebrew can sometimes use one plural adjective after a combined phrase, but in this sentence repeating the adjective is clearer and very standard.
