Questions & Answers about הוא אומר שהמרק מלוח מדי, ולכן עדיף שנוסיף עוד מים.
ש־ is the Hebrew subordinating word meaning that.
So:
- הוא אומר = he says
- שהמרק מלוח מדי = that the soup is too salty
In Hebrew, ש־ is often written attached directly to the next word, so שהמרק is literally that-the-soup.
This attached ש־ is extremely common in everyday Hebrew:
- אני חושב שהוא צודק = I think that he is right
- היא אמרה שנלך = She said that we will / should go
Because מלוח agrees with מרק, and מרק is a masculine noun.
- מרק = soup, masculine
- masculine adjective: מלוח
- feminine adjective: מלוחה
So:
- מרק מלוח = salty soup
- ארוחה מלוחה = salty meal
Hebrew adjectives usually match the noun in gender and number.
