Questions & Answers about גם בבוקר היה צפוף באוטובוס, ולכן היא החליטה ללכת ברגל.
What does גם mean here?
גם means also, too, or sometimes even, depending on context.
In גם בבוקר היה צפוף באוטובוס, it means also in the morning or in the morning too. It suggests that the bus was crowded at some other time as well, not only in the morning.
Hebrew often puts גם right before the part it is emphasizing. Here it emphasizes בבוקר.
Why is it בבוקר and not just בוקר?
בבוקר means in the morning.
It is made of:
- ב־ = in / at
- הבוקר = the morning
When ב־ joins a noun with ה־ (the), they combine:
- ב + הבוקר = בבוקר
So בבוקר is literally in the morning.
Just בוקר by itself means morning, not in the morning.
Why are there two ב letters in בבוקר?
