Questions & Answers about הסניף פתוח עכשיו, אבל מחר בבוקר המעבר יהיה סגור.
Why is there no Hebrew word for is in הסניף פתוח עכשיו?
In standard Hebrew, the verb to be is usually omitted in the present tense.
So instead of saying The branch is open now with a separate word for is, Hebrew simply says:
הסניף פתוח עכשיו
literally: the-branch open now
This is very normal. The same thing happens with many adjective or noun sentences in the present:
- הדלת סגורה = The door is closed
- הוא עייף = He is tired
- אני סטודנט = I am a student
But in the future and past, Hebrew usually does use forms of to be, which is why you get יהיה later in the sentence.
