Questions & Answers about כשחם מאוד במשרד, אני מפעילה את המזגן.
What does כש mean in this sentence?
כש means when here.
In כשחם מאוד במשרד, it introduces a time clause:
- כשחם מאוד = when it’s very hot
A useful thing to notice is that כש is attached directly to the next word in writing:
- כש + חם = כשחם
This is very common in Hebrew.
Why is there no separate word for is in כשחם מאוד במשרד?
In Hebrew, the verb to be is usually not expressed in the present tense.
So instead of saying something literally like when it is very hot in the office, Hebrew says:
- כשחם מאוד במשרד
- literally: when very hot in the office
This is normal Hebrew grammar. The idea of is is understood automatically.
Why is it חם and not חמה?
