לאן אתם אמורים ללכת אחרי היציאה מהתחנה?

לאן means to where / where to, so it asks about a destination.

That is different from איפה, which means where in the sense of location.

So:

• לאן אתם אמורים ללכת? = asking where you are supposed to go
• איפה אתם אמורים להיות? = asking where you are supposed to be

Because the verb here is ללכת (to go), לאן is the natural question word.

אתם is you for a masculine plural group. In Hebrew, this form is also used for a mixed group of males and females.

The matching forms are:

• אתה = you, one male
• את = you, one female
• אתם = you, masculine plural / mixed group
• אתן = you, feminine plural

So this sentence is addressed to more than one person.

Here אמורים means supposed to, expected to, or meant to.

It agrees with אתם, so it is in the masculine plural form.

Related forms are:

• אמור = supposed to, masculine singular
• אמורה = supposed to, feminine singular
• אמורים = supposed to, masculine plural
• אמורות = supposed to, feminine plural

So אתם אמורים ללכת means you all are supposed to go.

In Hebrew, the verb to be is usually not expressed in the present tense.

So where English says:

• you are supposed to go

Hebrew often says literally:

• you supposed to go

That is why אתם אמורים already means you are supposed.

If this were in the past or future, Hebrew would normally use a form of להיות (to be).

After אמור / אמורה / אמורים / אמורות, Hebrew normally uses ל + infinitive.

So:

• אמורים ללכת = supposed to go
• אמור לעשות = supposed to do
• אמורה להגיע = supposed to arrive

The word ללכת is the infinitive to go / to walk.

The first ל is part of the infinitive pattern, so ללכת is just the normal dictionary-style infinitive form of this verb.

היציאה comes from the root י-צ-א, related to going out / exiting.

It can mean:

• the exit as a noun
• the act of leaving / exiting

In this sentence, because it follows אחרי (after), it is most naturally understood as the act or moment of exiting:

• אחרי היציאה מהתחנה = after leaving the station

So even though the Hebrew uses a noun, natural English often turns it into a clause: after you leave the station.

Hebrew often uses a noun phrase where English might prefer a full clause.

So Hebrew can say:

• אחרי היציאה מהתחנה

Literally, that is something like:

• after the exit from the station

But the natural meaning is:

• after leaving the station
• after you leave the station

This is a very common Hebrew pattern: a preposition such as אחרי followed by a verbal noun.

A more clause-like version would be:

• אחרי שאתם יוצאים מהתחנה

That is also valid, but the original sentence is perfectly normal.

מהתחנה is made of:

• מ־ = from
• התחנה = the station

Together: from the station

Hebrew often combines the preposition מ־ with the definite article ה־. So:

• מ + התחנה becomes מהתחנה

If it were from a station in an indefinite sense, you would normally have מתחנה without the ה.

Hebrew question word order is usually much simpler than English word order.

English often changes word order:

• Where are you supposed to go?

Hebrew usually keeps the normal statement order after the question word:

• לאן אתם אמורים ללכת...?

So the pattern here is:

• לאן = question word
• אתם = subject
• אמורים = supposed
• ללכת = to go
• אחרי היציאה מהתחנה = after leaving the station

There is no equivalent of English do-support or subject-auxiliary inversion.

The main changes would be in אתם and אמורים, because those must agree in gender and number.

Examples:

• to one male: לאן אתה אמור ללכת אחרי היציאה מהתחנה?
• to one female: לאן את אמורה ללכת אחרי היציאה מהתחנה?
• to a group of females: לאן אתן אמורות ללכת אחרי היציאה מהתחנה?

The rest of the sentence can stay the same.

This agreement is a very important part of Hebrew grammar.
