Questions & Answers about הפקידה ביררה בשבילי אם אפשר לדחות את התשלום לשבוע הבא.
What does הפקידה mean here?
Here הפקידה means the female clerk / receptionist / office worker.
A useful thing to know: without vowel marks, הפקידה can also be read as a verb meaning she deposited. But in this sentence, the next word is ביררה, so הפקידה is clearly the subject noun: the clerk.
It is feminine. The masculine version would be הפקיד.
Why is ביררה in that form?
ביררה is the past tense, 3rd person feminine singular form of לברר (to check, clarify, find out).
It is feminine singular because the subject, הפקידה, is feminine singular.
So the agreement is:
- הפקידה ביררה = the female clerk checked / found out
- הפקיד בירר = the male clerk checked / found out
Hebrew verbs usually agree with the subject in gender and number in the past tense.
