Questions & Answers about איזו חולצה את רוצה ללבוש מחר?

What does איזו mean, and why is it איזו instead of איזה?

איזו means which.

It is the feminine singular form, and it matches חולצה, which is a feminine singular noun.

So:

• איזה ספר = which book
• איזו חולצה = which shirt

In very casual spoken Hebrew, many speakers use איזה more broadly, even with feminine nouns, but איזו חולצה is the standard form.

Why is חולצה treated as feminine?

In Hebrew, every noun has grammatical gender, and חולצה is a feminine noun.

That affects the words around it:

• איזו instead of איזה
• if you describe it with an adjective, the adjective would also usually be feminine

This is something you usually just have to learn with each noun. A common clue is that many feminine nouns end in -ה or -ת, and חולצה ends in -ה.

Why does the sentence use את?

את means you when speaking to one female.

Hebrew distinguishes:

• אתה = you, masculine singular
• את = you, feminine singular

So this sentence is addressed to a woman or girl.

If you were speaking to a man, you would say: איזו חולצה אתה רוצה ללבוש מחר?
