Questions & Answers about לאן אתם אמורים ללכת אחרי היציאה מהתחנה?

Why does the sentence start with לאן? How is that different from איפה?

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.

Why does the sentence use אתם?

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.
