Questions & Answers about אם תרצי, אני אשב איתך בזמן שאת תמלאי את הטופס.

Why are some of the verb forms feminine here?

Because the sentence is addressed to one woman.

You can see that in:

• תרצי = you will want / if you want (feminine singular)
• שאת = that you / while you (feminine singular you)
• תמלאי = you will fill out (feminine singular)

If you were speaking to a man, it would be:

אם תרצה, אני אשב איתך בזמן שאתה תמלא את הטופס.

So this sentence is specifically talking to a female listener.

Why is אם תרצי in the future tense? In English we often say if you want, not if you will want.

Hebrew commonly uses the future tense after אם when talking about a possible future situation.

So:

• אם תרצי literally looks like if you will want
• but in natural English it is usually translated as if you want

This is very normal Hebrew structure.

More examples:

• אם תבואי, נשמח. = If you come, we’ll be happy.
• אם תצטרך עזרה, תגיד. = If you need help, say so.

So even though the Hebrew uses future forms, the best English translation is often present tense.
