Questions & Answers about אם נבדוק את התקציב ביחד, אולי נבין איפה אפשר לחסוך.
In Hebrew, after אם meaning if, it is very common to use the future tense when talking about a real possibility in the future.
So:
- אם נבדוק = if we check
- literally: if we will check
This is normal Hebrew grammar, even though English usually uses present tense after if.
So the pattern is:
- אם + future
- If we... / If ... happens...
Example:
- אם תלמד, תצליח.
If you study, you’ll succeed.
נבדוק is the 1st person plural future form of לבדוק (to check / to examine).
So:
- לבדוק = to check
- נבדוק = we will check
The prefix נ־ often marks we in the future tense.
Related future forms:
- אבדוק = I will check
- תבדוק = you will check / she will check
- יבדוק = he will check
- נבדוק = we will check
