כל מי שמגיע מוקדם יכול לבחור מקום טוב יותר ליד הבמה.

כל מי means everyone who or anyone who.

Literally:

• כל = all / every
• מי = who

So כל מי שמגיע מוקדם is the natural Hebrew way to say everyone who arrives early.

The ש is the shortened relative particle, meaning that / who.

So:

• מי שמגיע מוקדם = the one who arrives early / whoever arrives early

This ש is extremely common in everyday Hebrew. It connects מי to the verb phrase that follows.

Because כל מי is usually treated as grammatically singular in standard Hebrew.

Even though the meaning is about multiple people, the structure is like:

• every person who arrives early can...

So Hebrew uses singular forms:

• שמגיע = arrives
• יכול = can

Also, masculine singular is the default form when the person is unspecified or generic.

Yes, it can be feminine if the sentence clearly refers to a female person or a female-only group.

In the sentence you gave, the masculine singular form is used as the default generic form:

• שמגיע
• יכול

If you wanted a feminine version, you could have:

• כל מי שמגיעה מוקדם יכולה לבחור...

But the masculine form is the normal general-purpose version.

It is basically the adjective early, but here it functions adverbially:

• להגיע מוקדם = to arrive early

Hebrew often uses adjective forms where English would use an adverb. There is no special -ly ending like in English.

So:

• מוקדם = early

Because after יכול (can / is able to), Hebrew normally uses an infinitive.

So:

• יכול לבחור = can choose

This is very similar to English:

• can choose

Other examples:

• יכול לבוא = can come
• יכול לראות = can see

Because את is generally used before a definite direct object, and מקום here is indefinite.

So:

• לבחור מקום טוב יותר = to choose a better place

But if it were definite, you would use את:

• לבחור את המקום הטוב ביותר = to choose the best place

So no את here because it means a better place, not the better place.

Hebrew often makes the comparative with:

• יותר = more

So:

• טוב = good
• טוב יותר = better

Literally, it is something like more good, but in natural English we translate it as better.

Also note the word order:

• מקום טוב יותר = a better place

The noun comes first, then the adjective phrase.

Yes. In everyday Hebrew, both are common:

• מקום טוב יותר
• מקום יותר טוב

Both mean a better place.

A rough nuance:

• טוב יותר can sound a bit more neutral or slightly more formal
• יותר טוב is very common in speech

In this sentence, מקום טוב יותר sounds perfectly natural.

ליד means next to / by / near.

הבמה means the stage:

• במה = stage
• הבמה = the stage

So:

• ליד הבמה = near the stage / by the stage

Depending on context, English might translate it as near the stage rather than strictly right next to the stage.

Because Hebrew adds the definite article the as a prefix:

• במה = a stage / stage
• הבמה = the stage

So instead of a separate word like English the, Hebrew usually attaches it to the noun.

Yes. מקום literally means place, but in context it can mean:

• a spot
• a place to stand
• a seat

So in this sentence, לבחור מקום טוב יותר ליד הבמה could mean:

• choose a better spot near the stage
• choose a better seat near the stage

The exact English choice depends on the situation.

Yes:

• מי שמגיע מוקדם יכול לבחור מקום טוב יותר ליד הבמה.

That means something like:

• Whoever arrives early can choose a better place near the stage.

Adding כל makes it more explicitly everyone who.

So:

• מי שמגיע... = whoever arrives...
• כל מי שמגיע... = everyone who arrives...

Both are natural.

A common pronunciation guide would be:

Kol mi she-magia מוקדם yakhol livkhor makom tov yoter leyad habama.

A smoother full transliteration: Kol mi shemagia mukdam yakhol livkhor makom tov yoter leyad habama.

Approximate stress:

• kol
• mi
• she-ma-GI-a
• muk-DAM
• ya-CHOL
• liv-CHOR
• ma-KOM
• tov
• yo-TER
• le-YAD
• ha-ba-MA

The ch/kh sound in יכול and לבחור is the throaty Hebrew sound, like Bach in German.
