המורה מסבירה לאט וברור.

Because מסבירה is the feminine singular form of the verb in the present tense.

המורה means the teacher, and by itself it can refer to either a male or female teacher. The verb tells you which one is meant here:

• המורה מסביר = the teacher is explaining / explains (male teacher)
• המורה מסבירה = the teacher is explaining / explains (female teacher)

So in this sentence, the teacher is female.

מסבירה is the present tense, feminine singular form of the verb להסביר (to explain).

Here are the present-tense forms:

• מסביר = masculine singular
• מסבירה = feminine singular
• מסבירים = masculine plural / mixed plural
• מסבירות = feminine plural

So המורה מסבירה literally matches the teacher explains / is explaining.

Yes. In Hebrew, the present tense often covers both the simple present and the present progressive.

So המורה מסבירה לאט וברור can mean:

• The teacher explains slowly and clearly
• The teacher is explaining slowly and clearly

Usually the context tells you which is more natural.

Because Hebrew normally does not use a present-tense form of to be in simple sentences like this.

In English, you say:

• The teacher is explaining

In Hebrew, you just say:

• המורה מסבירה

There is no separate present-tense word for is here. The verb form itself carries the meaning.

Here לאט is an adverb, meaning slowly.

It describes how the teacher explains.

• מסבירה לאט = explains slowly

Unlike adjectives, adverbs do not change here for masculine/feminine or singular/plural.

This is a very common Hebrew pattern. Hebrew often uses an adjective form where English would use an adverb.

So:

• ברור literally means clear
• but in this sentence וברור means clearly

This is natural Hebrew. You will often see adjectives used adverbially like this.

For example:

• הוא מדבר ברור = he speaks clearly
• היא שרה יפה = she sings beautifully / יפה literally beautiful

So לאט וברור means slowly and clearly, even though ברור looks like the adjective clear.

Because ברור here does not describe the teacher. It describes the manner of explaining.

If it described a feminine noun, you would expect feminine agreement:

• המורה ברורה = the teacher is clear

But that is a different sentence structure.

In המורה מסבירה לאט וברור, ברור is being used adverbially, meaning clearly, so it stays in this common default form rather than matching המורה.

This is a very normal Hebrew word order:

• המורה = subject
• מסבירה = verb
• לאט וברור = adverbial description of how the action is done

So the structure is basically:

Subject + Verb + How

That is very similar to English:

The teacher + explains + slowly and clearly

The ה at the beginning is the Hebrew definite article, meaning the.

So:

• מורה = teacher
• המורה = the teacher

This ה is attached directly to the noun, unlike English, where the is a separate word.

It is pronounced roughly ha-mo-RA.

A few helpful points:

• ה = ha- = the
• stress is usually on the last syllable: mo-RA

So:

• המורה = ha-mo-RA

No. מורה is one of those nouns that can refer to either a male or female teacher.

You find out the gender from the rest of the sentence:

• המורה מסביר = the teacher is explaining (male)
• המורה מסבירה = the teacher is explaining (female)

So the noun itself does not force the teacher to be female.

The root is ס־ב־ר.

The verb is להסביר = to explain, and מסבירה is a present-tense form built from that verb.

For many learners, it is useful to recognize:

• להסביר = to explain
• מסביר / מסבירה = explains / is explaining

This helps you connect the dictionary form to the form used in real sentences.

Yes, Hebrew word order can be somewhat flexible, and native speakers may change the order of adverbs for emphasis or style.

But המורה מסבירה לאט וברור sounds very natural and straightforward.

The original order is probably the best one for a learner to use first:

• לאט וברור = slowly and clearly

Yes. The ו attached to ברור means and.

So:

• לאט = slowly
• וברור = and clearly

In Hebrew, ו is attached directly to the following word, instead of being written separately.

Yes. It is a natural and useful everyday sentence.

Hebrew speakers commonly use short adverbial expressions like:

• לאט = slowly
• ברור = clearly
• לאט וברור = slowly and clearly

So this sentence sounds normal and idiomatic.
