Questions & Answers about גם כשהיא לא מסכימה איתי, היא תמיד מכבדת את הדעה שלי.
Yes, גם often means also / too, but in this sentence it helps create the sense of even:
גם כשהיא לא מסכימה איתי
= even when she doesn’t agree with me
This is a very common use. In context, גם + כשה... often has a concessive feel: even when... / despite the fact that when...
It is made from:
- כש־ = when
- היא = she
So:
- כש + היא = כשהיא
This kind of attachment is very common in Hebrew. The כש־ is a prefix, so it joins directly to the next word.
Examples:
- כשאני = when I
- כשאתה = when you
- כשהוא = when he
