אני גאה בך, ואת נראית כל כך מתרגשת שאני כבר מחכה לשמוע איך היה היום שלך.

Yes, Hebrew often can leave out subject pronouns, because the verb form already gives some information about the subject.

So גאה בך can already mean I’m proud of you in context, and מחכה can also imply I’m waiting / looking forward.

But אני is still very common when:

• you want to be explicit,
• you want a more natural full sentence,
• you want emphasis or emotional clarity.

Here, אני גאה בך feels warm and direct: I’m proud of you.

Because the adjective גאה (proud) takes the preposition ב־ in Hebrew.

So:

• גאה בך = proud of you
• literally, something like proud in/with you, though in English we translate it as proud of you

This is just a pattern you need to learn with the word:

• אני גאה בך = I’m proud of you
• היא גאה בילד שלה = She is proud of her child

So the important point is: גאה normally goes with ב־.

In Hebrew, prepositions are often attached directly to pronouns.

So ב־ + את/אתה becomes forms like:

• בי = in me
• בך = in/of you
• בו = in him
• בה = in her
• בנו = in us
• בכם / בכן = in you plural
• בהם / בהן = in them

So גאה בך is the natural combined form, not גאה ב את or anything like that.

The ו־ means and.

So:

• את נראית = you look / you seem
• ואת נראית = and you look / and you seem

In Hebrew, ו־ is attached directly to the next word rather than written separately.

This sentence has a flow like:

• I’m proud of you, and you look so excited that…

So ואת is simply and you.

Because the person being spoken to is female.

Hebrew verbs and adjectives often change according to gender.
Here the sentence is addressing a woman/girl, so it uses feminine singular forms:

• את = you (feminine singular)
• נראית = you look / you seem (feminine singular)
• מתרגשת = excited / getting excited (feminine singular)

If you were speaking to a man, you would say:

• ואתה נראה כל כך מתרגש...

So נראית agrees with את.

Literally, נראה / נראית comes from the verb to be seen / to appear, but in everyday Hebrew it often means:

• look
• seem
• appear

So את נראית כל כך מתרגשת means:

• you look so excited
• you seem so excited

It does not mean that someone is literally seeing you in a visual-passive sense here. It is a very common descriptive use.

מתרגשת is a feminine singular present-tense form from the verb להתרגש, which means:

• to get excited
• to be excited
• sometimes to be moved emotionally, depending on context

In this sentence, נראית כל כך מתרגשת means:

• you look so excited

The form breaks down like this:

• dictionary form: להתרגש
• masculine singular present: מתרגש
• feminine singular present: מתרגשת

So it matches the female you in the sentence.

כל כך means so, so much, or so very.

Examples:

• כל כך יפה = so beautiful
• כל כך עייפה = so tired
• כל כך מתרגשת = so excited

Literally, the two words are:

• כל = all
• כך = thus / like this

But together they function as a fixed expression meaning so.

So:

• את נראית כל כך מתרגשת = you look so excited

ש־ is a very common Hebrew connector meaning that, which, who, or sometimes just linking clauses in a way English does differently.

Here:

• שאני כבר מחכה... = that I’m already waiting / that I can’t wait...

So:

• את נראית כל כך מתרגשת שאני כבר מחכה לשמוע...
• you look so excited that I’m already looking forward to hearing...

Also, שאני is really:

• ש־ = that
• אני = I

So it literally combines as that I.

Yes, כבר literally means already, but in many contexts it adds a sense of:

• by now
• as it is
• at this point
• emotional immediacy

In this sentence, אני כבר מחכה לשמוע means something like:

• I’m already looking forward to hearing
• I can’t wait to hear

It gives the feeling that the speaker is excited right now, even before hearing the story.

So כבר is not just a time word here; it adds emotional force.

The ל־ marks the infinitive in Hebrew, similar to English to in to hear.

So:

• לשמוע = to hear
• ללכת = to go
• לראות = to see

Therefore:

• מחכה לשמוע = waiting to hear / looking forward to hearing

This is a very common pattern:

• רוצה לשמוע = wants to hear
• צריך ללכת = needs to go
• התחלתי ללמוד = I started to study

So לשמוע is just the infinitive to hear.

Yes, מחכה literally means waiting.

But in Hebrew, מחכה לשמוע often works naturally where English would say:

• waiting to hear
• looking forward to hearing
• sometimes even can’t wait to hear

So the exact English translation depends on tone.

Here, because the whole sentence is warm and emotional, I’m already looking forward to hearing sounds more natural than the more literal I’m already waiting to hear.

So:

• literal: I’m already waiting to hear
• natural English: I’m already looking forward to hearing

Because איך היה היום שלך literally means:

• how was your day

The subject of היה is היום שלך (your day), not you.

Breakdown:

• איך = how
• היה = was
• היום שלך = your day / the day of yours

Since יום is masculine singular, the past-tense form is היה.

So the structure is:

• how was your day? not
• how were you your day?

English and Hebrew structure this idea similarly, but Hebrew is matching the verb to day, not to the person.

Because היה agrees with היום (day), not with the person being addressed.

• יום is masculine singular
• so: היה

If the noun were feminine, the verb would change:

• איך הייתה הפגישה שלך? = How was your meeting?

So in:

• איך היה היום שלך the gender of the listener does not matter for היה. The gender of יום does.

שלך means your / yours.

It is built from של + pronoun ending.

Common forms:

• שלי = my/mine
• שלך = your/yours
• שלו = his
• שלה = her
• שלנו = our/ours

So:

• היום שלך = your day
• literally: the day of yours

Hebrew often expresses possession this way.

Yes, the sentence is very natural spoken Hebrew and flows in linked chunks:

• אני גאה בך,
• ואת נראית כל כך מתרגשת
• שאני כבר מחכה לשמוע
• איך היה היום שלך.

A very literal order would be:

• I am proud of you, and you look so excited that I’m already waiting to hear how your day was.

That is close to English, but Hebrew often feels a little more connected through words like:

• ו־ = and
• ש־ = that

So the word order is not strange; it is a normal conversational way to build up emotion step by step.

You would change the forms that agree with you:

• אני גאה בך, ואת נראית כל כך מתרגשת שאני כבר מחכה לשמוע איך היה היום שלך. becomes
• אני גאה בך, ואתה נראה כל כך מתרגש שאני כבר מחכה לשמוע איך היה היום שלך.

Main changes:

• ואת → ואתה
• נראית → נראה
• מתרגשת → מתרגש

The rest stays the same.

If the speaker were female instead of male, then גאה would also change:

• female speaker to female listener: אני גאה בך...
• female speaker to male listener: אני גאה בך... Actually גאה for a female speaker is often written the same without vowels, but with vowels/pronunciation it is feminine גאה pronounced differently in some contexts? In normal unpointed modern Hebrew, the written form is the same, so context tells you who the speaker is.

It sounds warm, personal, and emotionally supportive.

Several parts create that feeling:

• אני גאה בך = I’m proud of you
• כל כך מתרגשת = so excited
• אני כבר מחכה לשמוע = I’m already looking forward to hearing

So this is the kind of sentence someone might say to:

• a partner
• a parent/child
• a close friend
• anyone they care about and want to encourage

It is not stiff or formal. It sounds natural and affectionate.
