בקיץ אני יוצאת למרפסת רק עם כפכפים, אבל בחורף אני מעדיפה נעליים סגורות.

They are feminine singular present-tense forms.

• יוצאת = go out / am going out (said by a woman)
• מעדיפה = prefer (said by a woman)

If a man were saying the same sentence, he would usually say:

• בקיץ אני יוצא למרפסת...
• אבל בחורף אני מעדיף...

Hebrew present-tense verbs agree with gender and number.

Here ב־ means in.

• בקיץ = in summer / in the summer
• בחורף = in winter / in the winter

With seasons, Hebrew often uses this structure where English might say either in summer or in the summer.

Because ל־ means to.

So:

• מרפסת = balcony
• למרפסת = to the balcony / onto the balcony

The sentence is using the verb יוצאת together with a destination: go out to the balcony.

It can mean either, depending on context.

Hebrew present tense often covers both:

• habitual present: I go out
• current present: I am going out

In this sentence, because of בקיץ and בחורף, the meaning is clearly habitual: it is talking about what the speaker usually does in summer and winter.

In Hebrew present tense, the verb usually shows gender and number, but not clearly person.

For example, יוצאת could mean:

• I go out
• you go out (to a woman)
• she goes out

So אני is important here because it makes it clear that the speaker means I.

Literally, it means only with flip-flops.

Hebrew often uses עם (with) where English would more naturally say:

• wearing flip-flops
• in flip-flops

So רק עם כפכפים means something like:

• only wearing flip-flops
• only in flip-flops

כפכפים usually means flip-flops or very casual open footwear.

• singular: כפכף
• plural: כפכפים

In everyday use, כפכפים normally suggests light, open summer footwear.

Hebrew does not always need a specific verb for wearing when clothing or footwear is obvious from the context.

So instead of saying something exactly like I go out wearing flip-flops, Hebrew can simply say:

• אני יוצאת... עם כפכפים

If you wanted to be more explicit, Hebrew has a special verb for wearing shoes:

• לנעול = to put on / wear shoes

So a more explicit version could be:

• אני יוצאת למרפסת רק כשאני נועלת כפכפים

But the original sentence is more natural and simpler.

Because the adjective must agree with the noun.

• נעליים = shoes
• It is treated as feminine plural
• So the adjective must also be feminine plural

That is why we get:

• נעליים סגורות = closed shoes

Also remember that in Hebrew, adjectives usually come after the noun.

It means closed shoes, usually something like closed-toe shoes rather than open sandals or flip-flops.

It does not mean the shoes are literally shut in some strange way. It is the normal Hebrew way to describe shoes that cover the foot more fully.

This is very natural Hebrew word order when setting the time frame.

The sentence is structured for contrast:

• בקיץ... = In summer...
• אבל בחורף... = but in winter...

Putting the season first makes the contrast very clear and sounds smooth and natural.
