בעלת הבית אומרת שהחוזה מוכן לחתימה.

בעלת הבית is the feminine form of בעל הבית.

• בעל הבית = the landlord / master of the house / male owner
• בעלת הבית = the landlady / female owner

The ending ־ת often marks a feminine form in Hebrew nouns.

Also, בעלת הבית is a construct phrase meaning literally something like owner of the house. In this structure, the first noun changes form:

• בעל → בעלת before another noun

So:

• בעלת הבית = the landlady / the female owner of the house

This is because בעלת הבית is a construct chain (called סמיכות in Hebrew).

In Hebrew construct chains:

• the first noun usually does not take ה־
• the second noun carries the definiteness

So:

• בעלת בית = a landlady / a female owner of a house
• בעלת הבית = the landlady / the female owner of the house

Even though only the second word has ה־, the whole phrase is definite.

In everyday modern Hebrew, בעלת הבית can mean:

• the landlady
• the female homeowner
• sometimes more generally the woman in charge of the house

In the sentence בעלת הבית אומרת שהחוזה מוכן לחתימה, the most natural translation is probably the landlady or the homeowner, depending on context.

Because בעלת הבית is feminine singular, and in the present tense Hebrew verbs agree with the subject in gender and number.

• אומר = masculine singular, says
• אומרת = feminine singular, says

So:

• בעל הבית אומר = the landlord says
• בעלת הבית אומרת = the landlady says

It can mean either, depending on context.

Hebrew present tense often covers both:

• she says
• she is saying

So בעלת הבית אומרת could mean:

• The landlady says...
• The landlady is saying...

In most neutral contexts, English translates it as says.

ש־ is a very common Hebrew particle meaning that.

So:

• אומרת שהחוזה מוכן = says that the contract is ready

It is often attached directly to the next word:

• ש + החוזה → שהחוזה

This is extremely common in spoken and written Hebrew.

Because ש־ is a prefix, not a separate full word in normal writing.

So Hebrew writes:

• שהחוזה

not:

• ש החוזה

This is similar to other Hebrew prefixes like:

• ו־ = and
• ב־ = in
• ל־ = to/for
• כ־ = as/like

They usually attach directly to the word that follows.

Because מוכן describes החוזה, not בעלת הבית.

• החוזה = the contract
• חוזה is a masculine singular noun

So the adjective must match החוזה:

• חוזה מוכן = a ready contract

If the noun were feminine, the adjective would also be feminine:

• הבקשה מוכנה = the request is ready

So in this sentence:

• בעלת הבית is feminine
• החוזה is masculine
• therefore מוכן is masculine

לחתימה literally means for signing or for signature.

It is made of:

• ל־ = for / to
• חתימה = signing / signature

So:

• מוכן לחתימה = ready for signing

This is a very natural Hebrew expression, especially in formal or business contexts.

Because Hebrew often uses a noun where English might use a verb phrase.

Compare:

• מוכן לחתימה = ready for signing
• מוכן לחתום = ready to sign

These do not mean exactly the same thing.

• החוזה מוכן לחתימה = the contract is ready to be signed / ready for signing
• מוכן לחתום would describe a person who is ready to sign

So לחתימה is correct here because the subject is the contract, not the person signing it.

The basic form is חוזה = contract.

With the definite article:

• חוזה = a contract
• החוזה = the contract

So:

• החוזה מוכן = the contract is ready

A natural pronunciation is:

Ba'alat ha-bayit omeret she-ha-choze mukhan la-chatima.

A slightly smoother everyday pronunciation may sound like:

Ba'alat habayit omeret shehachoze mukhan lachatima.

Word-by-word:

• בעלת הבית — ba'alat habayit
• אומרת — omeret
• שהחוזה — shehachoze
• מוכן — mukhan
• לחתימה — lachatima

Yes, this is very normal Hebrew word order.

Structure:

• בעלת הבית — subject
• אומרת — verb
• שהחוזה מוכן לחתימה — content clause

Literally:

• The landlady says that the contract is ready for signing.

This is a standard and natural sentence pattern in Hebrew.

Partly, but with some caution.

A more precise translation is:

• The landlady says that the contract is ready for signing.

Notes:

• בעלת הבית is specifically female, so landlady is better than landlord
• חוזה usually means contract, though in housing context it may indeed refer to a lease
• ready to sign in English can sound like the person is ready to sign, while Hebrew מוכן לחתימה means the document is ready to be signed

So the best natural translation is usually:

• The landlady says that the contract is ready for signing.
