Questions & Answers about הוא כועס כשיש יותר מדי בלגן במטבח, אבל היא לא כועסת מהר.
Because Hebrew adjectives change for gender.
- כועס = angry, masculine singular
- כועסת = angry, feminine singular
So:
- הוא כועס = he is angry
- היא כועסת = she is angry
This is very common in Hebrew. Adjectives usually have to match the person or thing they describe in gender and number.
It is basically an adjective, but in Hebrew adjectives are often used where English would use to be + adjective.
So Hebrew says:
- הוא כועס literally: he angry
- היא לא כועסת literally: she not angry
But in natural English, we translate that as:
- he is angry
- she is not angry
This happens because in the present tense, Hebrew usually does not use a separate word for is / am / are.
