אני לא אוהבת את הריח של הבושם הזה.

Because the speaker is female. In Hebrew present tense, the verb form agrees with the speaker’s gender and number.

• אני אוהבת = a woman saying I like / love
• אני אוהב = a man saying I like / love

So this sentence is something a female speaker would say. A male speaker would say:

אני לא אוהב את הריח של הבושם הזה.

Not always. Hebrew often drops subject pronouns when the meaning is clear from the verb form.

So both of these are possible:

• אני לא אוהבת את הריח של הבושם הזה.
• לא אוהבת את הריח של הבושם הזה.

Including אני can make the sentence clearer, more neutral, or slightly more emphatic.

That is the normal way to negate a sentence in Hebrew. לא means not, and it usually comes directly before the verb or verbal expression.

So:

• אוהבת = like / love
• לא אוהבת = do not like

Hebrew does not need a separate word like English do in do not like. It simply says I not like.

In this sentence, את is the marker of a definite direct object. It does not have a separate meaning like with here.

So in:

אני לא אוהבת את הריח

את marks הריח as the direct object of אוהבת.

A very common rule:

• use את before a direct object that is definite
• do not use it before an indefinite direct object

Compare:

• אני אוהבת את הריח. = I like the smell.
• אני אוהבת ריח טוב. = I like a good smell.

Because the sentence is talking about a specific smell: the smell of this perfume.

The prefix ה־ means the, so:

• ריח = smell
• הריח = the smell

Since it is a specific smell, Hebrew uses the definite form.

של is the common Hebrew way to say of or sometimes the equivalent of English apostrophe-s.

So:

• הריח של הבושם הזה = the smell of this perfume

This structure is extremely common in everyday Hebrew:

• הספר של דנה = Dana’s book / the book of Dana
• הצבע של האוטו = the color of the car

For two different reasons:

• הריח is definite because it means the smell
• הבושם is definite because Hebrew normally uses the definite article with a noun modified by this / that

So:

• בושם = perfume
• הבושם הזה = this perfume

In standard Hebrew, this perfume is usually הבושם הזה, not just בושם הזה.

Because in Hebrew, demonstratives like זה / זאת / אלה usually come after the noun.

So:

• הבושם הזה = this perfume
• החולצה הזאת = this shirt
• הספרים האלה = these books

This is different from English, where this comes before the noun.

Because זה agrees with בושם, not with the speaker.

• בושם is a masculine noun
• so it takes הזה

If the noun were feminine, you would use הזאת:

• החולצה הזאת = this shirt
• המכונית הזאת = this car

So the gender of זה / זאת depends on the noun being described, not on the person speaking.

Yes. That is also correct Hebrew.

This version uses a more compact structure called the construct state:

• הריח של הבושם הזה
• ריח הבושם הזה

Both mean the smell of this perfume.

In many everyday situations, the של version sounds more natural and conversational. The construct version can sound a bit tighter, sometimes slightly more formal or written, depending on context.

If you use the construct version here, you still need את, because the whole object is still definite:

אני לא אוהבת את ריח הבושם הזה.

The dictionary form is לאהוב, meaning to love / to like.

Some common present-tense forms are:

• אוהב = masculine singular
• אוהבת = feminine singular
• אוהבים = masculine plural / mixed plural
• אוהבות = feminine plural

In everyday Hebrew, לאהוב can mean both to love and to like, depending on context.

A simple pronunciation guide is:

ani lo ohevet et hareaḥ shel habosem haze

A few notes:

• אני = ani
• אוהבת = ohevet
• הריח = hareaḥ or roughly ha-RE-akh
  The final sound is the throaty Hebrew ח
• בושם = bosem
• הזה = haze

A natural rhythm would be:

ani lo oHEvet et haREaḥ shel haBOsem haZE
