Questions & Answers about כדי להירשם לקורס, צריך להקליד שם, כתובת ומספר טלפון באתר.
What does כדי mean here?
כדי means in order to or simply to when introducing a purpose.
So:
- כדי להירשם לקורס = to register for the course
- literally: in order to register for the course
A very common pattern in Hebrew is:
- כדי + infinitive
For example:
- כדי ללמוד = to study / in order to study
- כדי להבין = to understand / in order to understand
What is להירשם, and why does it look different from a simple verb like לכתוב?
להירשם is the infinitive to register / to sign up.
It comes from the verb נרשם and is in the Nifal pattern, which often has a passive or reflexive-like meaning. In this case, it is basically to register oneself / to sign up.
That is why Hebrew uses:
- להירשם לקורס = to register for a course
Compare:
- לרשום = to write down / to register someone or something
- להירשם = to register oneself / to sign up
So the sentence uses להירשם because the person is signing up for the course, not registering someone else.
