Questions & Answers about אני מביאה עוד כיסא בשביל שיהיה לנו מקום לשבת.

Why is it אני מביאה and not אני מביא?

Because מביאה is the feminine singular form of the present tense.

• אני מביאה = I am bringing / I bring said by a woman
• אני מביא = the same thing, but said by a man

In Hebrew, the present tense agrees with the gender of the speaker, even with אני (I).

Does מביאה mean am bringing or just bring?

It can mean either one, depending on context.

Hebrew present tense often covers both:

• I bring
• I am bringing

So אני מביאה עוד כיסא can mean:

• I’m bringing another chair
• I bring another chair

In this sentence, the natural English translation is usually I’m bringing another chair, because it sounds like something happening right now.

What does עוד mean here?

Here עוד means another or one more.

So:

• עוד כיסא = another chair / one more chair

Depending on context, עוד can also mean:

• more
• still
• yet

But in this sentence, the meaning is clearly another / one more.
