התוכנית שלנו פשוטה: נלך למסעדה ואחר כך נלך הביתה.

Because it agrees with התוכנית (the plan), which is a feminine noun in Hebrew.

• תוכנית = feminine singular
• so the adjective must also be feminine singular: פשוטה = simple

If the noun were masculine, you would use פשוט instead.

In Hebrew, possessive words like שלי, שלך, שלנו often come after the noun.

So:

• התוכנית = the plan
• שלנו = of us / our

Together, התוכנית שלנו literally means the plan of ours, but in natural English it is simply our plan.

This is a very common Hebrew pattern:

• הבית שלי = my house
• החברים שלנו = our friends

נלך means we will go.

It is the 1st person plural future form of the verb ללכת (to go / to walk).

So:

• אלך = I will go
• תלך / תלכי = you will go
• ילך / תלך = he/she will go
• נלך = we will go

In this sentence, נלך appears twice:

• נלך למסעדה = we’ll go to a restaurant / the restaurant
• נלך הביתה = we’ll go home

Hebrew often repeats the verb where English might leave it out.

English can say:

• We’ll go to a restaurant and then home

But Hebrew more naturally says:

• נלך למסעדה ואחר כך נלך הביתה

Repeating נלך makes the sentence clear and natural. In some contexts, Hebrew can omit repeated words, but here repeating the verb sounds very normal.

The ל־ prefix usually means to.

So למסעדה means to a restaurant or to the restaurant, depending on context.

The tricky part is that in unpointed Hebrew (Hebrew normally written without vowels), למסעדה can be ambiguous:

• לְמסעדה = to a restaurant
• לַמסעדה = to the restaurant

They are written the same without vowel marks.

So you understand the exact meaning from context.

Without vowel marks, it can mean either one.

Hebrew writing usually leaves out the vowel signs, so some forms are ambiguous. In context, speakers usually know which meaning is intended.

So נלך למסעדה could mean:

• we’ll go to a restaurant
• we’ll go to the restaurant

If the meaning has already been provided to you, follow that meaning. But grammatically, the written form can represent both.

ואחר כך means and afterward, and then, or and after that.

It is made of:

• ו־ = and
• אחר כך = after that / later / then

So:

• נלך למסעדה ואחר כך נלך הביתה = We’ll go to a restaurant, and then we’ll go home.

This is a very common expression in Hebrew conversation.

הביתה is a special form meaning homeward / to home, usually translated simply as home.

This ending ־ה can mark motion toward a place in certain words. This is sometimes called the directional heh.

So:

• הביתה = home / to home
• נלך הביתה = we’ll go home

By contrast:

• לבית would mean to a house or to the house of...
• לבית הספר = to school
• לבית שלי = to my house/home

So in this sentence, הביתה is the natural way to say home.

Not exactly.

Although it comes historically from בית (house/home), הביתה functions as a set expression meaning home or to home, not just any house.

So:

• נלך הביתה = we’ll go home
• נלך לבית would not normally be the same thing

If you want to say to the house, you would usually use forms like:

• נלך לבית ... = we’ll go to the house of...
• נלך לבית ההוא = we’ll go to that house

But הביתה specifically means home.

The colon introduces an explanation or elaboration.

So the structure is:

• התוכנית שלנו פשוטה: = Our plan is simple:
• then the sentence explains what that plan is:
  • נלך למסעדה ואחר כך נלך הביתה

This works very much like English.

Yes, somewhat.

The sentence as written is very natural:

• התוכנית שלנו פשוטה: נלך למסעדה ואחר כך נלך הביתה.

But Hebrew often allows some flexibility, especially with adverbs like אחר כך.

For example, you could also say:

• התוכנית שלנו פשוטה: נלך למסעדה, ואחר כך נלך הביתה.

That is basically the same, just with a comma added for clarity.

You could also emphasize the time sequence differently in other contexts, but the original order is standard and natural.

A common pronunciation is:

ha-tokh-NIT she-LA-nu pshu-TA: ne-LEKH le-mis-a-DA ve-a-KHAR kakh ne-LEKH ha-BAY-ta

A few notes:

• תוכנית = tokhnit
• שלנו = shelanu
• פשוטה = pshuta
• נלך = nelekh
• אחר כך = akhar kakh
• הביתה = habayta

Pronunciation can vary a little by accent, but this is a good standard model.

It is completely natural everyday Hebrew.

Nothing here is unusually literary or formal. A native speaker could easily say this in normal conversation.

Some especially common everyday pieces are:

• התוכנית שלנו = our plan
• ואחר כך = and then
• נלך הביתה = we’ll go home

So this is a very useful sentence pattern to learn.
