Questions & Answers about אני אחכה כאן עד שתבוא.
How is אני אחכה כאן עד שתבוא pronounced?
A natural pronunciation is ani aḥaké kan ad she-tavó.
A rough English-style guide:
- a-NEE
- a-kha-KEH
- kahn
- ad
- sheh-ta-VOH
Two sound notes:
- ח in אחכה is a throaty kh/ch sound, like in loch.
- The כ in אחכה is a regular k sound here.
Can I leave out אני?
Yes. אחכה already means I will wait, so the subject I is built into the verb.
So both are possible:
- אני אחכה כאן עד שתבוא
- אחכה כאן עד שתבוא
Including אני can add a little emphasis or clarity, but it is often omitted in natural Hebrew.
Why does אחכה start with א־?
