אם הכתוביות מהירות מדי, אני עוצרת את הסרט וקוראת אותן עוד פעם.

Yes. אם means if.

In this sentence, אם הכתוביות מהירות מדי means if the subtitles are too fast.

This sentence describes a habitual action: whenever that situation happens, the speaker pauses the movie and reads them again. Hebrew often uses the present tense for this kind of general or repeated situation, just like English can say If the subtitles are too fast, I pause the movie.

The noun כתובית means subtitle. Its plural is כתוביות = subtitles.

This noun is grammatically feminine, so words that describe it must also be feminine plural.

That is why the sentence has:

הכתוביות מהירות מדי

and not a masculine form.

A quick breakdown:

• כתובית = subtitle
• כתוביות = subtitles
• הכתוביות = the subtitles

Because מהירות is an adjective agreeing with הכתוביות.

• מהירות = fast, feminine plural
• מדי = too / excessively

So הכתוביות מהירות מדי literally means the subtitles are too fast.

English often uses fast without changing its form, but Hebrew adjectives change to match the noun:

• masculine singular: מהיר
• feminine singular: מהירה
• masculine plural: מהירים
• feminine plural: מהירות

Since כתוביות is feminine plural, the adjective must be מהירות.

מדי means too in the sense of more than is acceptable / excessively.

So:

• מהירות מדי = too fast
• יקר מדי = too expensive
• קשה מדי = too difficult

It usually comes after the adjective, unlike English:

• English: too fast
• Hebrew: fast too → מהיר מדי / מהירה מדי / מהירות מדי

Because first-person present tense in Hebrew shows the speaker’s gender.

Both mean I stop / I am stopping, but:

• אני עוצר = spoken by a male
• אני עוצרת = spoken by a female

So this sentence is spoken by a female speaker.

The same thing happens later with:

• וקוראת = and I read, spoken by a female

A male speaker would say: אם הכתוביות מהירות מדי, אני עוצר את הסרט וקורא אותן עוד פעם.

Here, את is not you. It is the direct object marker.

Hebrew uses את before a definite direct object, usually one with ה־ (the) or a possessive.

So:

• אני עוצרת את הסרט = I pause the movie
• הסרט is definite = the movie
• therefore Hebrew adds את

Compare:

• אני רואה סרט = I watch a movie
• אני רואה את הסרט = I watch the movie

So in this sentence, את simply marks הסרט as the direct object.

אותן means them for a feminine plural noun.

It refers back to הכתוביות.

Since כתוביות is feminine plural, the pronoun must also be feminine plural:

• אותו = him / it (masculine singular object)
• אותה = her / it (feminine singular object)
• אותם = them (masculine plural or mixed group)
• אותן = them (feminine plural)

So: וקוראת אותן = and read them

meaning and read the subtitles.

Hebrew, like English, often uses an object pronoun to avoid repetition.

So instead of saying: אני עוצרת את הסרט וקוראת את הכתוביות עוד פעם

the sentence says: אני עוצרת את הסרט וקוראת אותן עוד פעם

Both are grammatical. Using אותן sounds more natural and avoids repeating הכתוביות.

Yes. עוד פעם means again, literally one more time.

• עוד = more / another
• פעם = time / occurrence

So קוראת אותן עוד פעם means read them again.

Other common ways to say again are:

• שוב = again
• פעם נוספת = another time / once more

In everyday speech, עוד פעם is very common and natural.

Because the sentence describes a regular or repeated situation, not a one-time future event.

Hebrew often uses the present tense for habitual meaning: אם הכתוביות מהירות מדי, אני עוצרת את הסרט... = If the subtitles are too fast, I pause the movie...

If you wanted to talk about a future possibility, you could use future forms, for example: אם הכתוביות יהיו מהירות מדי, אעצור את הסרט. = If the subtitles are too fast, I’ll pause the movie.

So the present tense here gives the sense of a routine or general behavior.

Because קוראת agrees with the subject, not with הכתוביות.

The subject here is אני = I.

So:

• אני קוראת = I read, spoken by a female
• אני קורא = I read, spoken by a male

The plural noun הכתוביות is the object, not the subject. That is why it does not control the verb form.

Yes. In context, אני עוצרת את הסרט is best understood as I pause the movie or I stop the movie.

Literally, לעצור means to stop. But when talking about a movie or video, English often prefers pause, while Hebrew can still naturally use לעצור in everyday speech.

So the Hebrew is completely natural even if the best English translation is pause the movie.

Yes, it is very normal.

The structure is:

אם + condition, main clause

So: אם הכתוביות מהירות מדי, אני עוצרת את הסרט וקוראת אותן עוד פעם.

This is similar to English: If the subtitles are too fast, I pause the movie and read them again.

Hebrew is fairly flexible with word order, but this version sounds natural and straightforward.
