שים לב למה שהיא אומרת, כי המנהלת דורשת מאיתנו לקרוא כל פרט.

שים is the masculine singular imperative form of לשים.

In this sentence, the speaker is directly telling one male listener to do something: שים לב = pay attention.

Related forms:

• שימי לב — said to one woman
• שימו לב — said to more than one person

So שים is not a regular present-tense form here; it is a command.

Yes. שים לב is a very common Hebrew expression meaning pay attention, notice, or take note.

Literally, it is something like put heart:

• שים = put
• לב = heart

But you should learn שים לב as one unit, because its real meaning is idiomatic.

Yes, למה often means why, but here it means to what.

That is because שים לב normally takes the preposition ל־:

• לשים לב ל... = to pay attention to...

So here:

• למה שהיא אומרת = to what she is saying / to what she says

In unpointed Hebrew, למה can look the same in both meanings:

• למה? = why?
• למה שהיא אומרת = to what she says

Context tells you which one it is.

שהיא is made of:

• ש־ = that / which / who
• היא = she

So שהיא means that she.

In this sentence:

• מה שהיא אומרת = what she says / what she is saying

The ש־ introduces the clause attached to מה.

Because its subject is היא.

In Hebrew, present-tense verb forms agree with the subject in gender and number:

• הוא אומר — he says
• היא אומרת — she says

So אומרת is feminine singular because the sentence says she.

Yes. In Hebrew, the present tense usually does not clearly distinguish between:

• she says
• she is saying

So היא אומרת can mean either one, depending on context.

That is very normal in Hebrew. English makes this distinction more often than Hebrew does.

Because המנהלת is feminine singular.

• מנהל = male manager / principal
• מנהלת = female manager / principal

So:

• המנהל דורש — the male manager demands
• המנהלת דורשת — the female manager demands

Again, Hebrew present-tense forms agree with the noun’s gender and number.

Because the verb לדרוש often uses the preposition מ־ with the person something is demanded from.

So:

• לדרוש ממישהו = to demand from someone
• דורשת מאיתנו = she demands from us / requires of us

Here:

• מאיתנו = from us

This is a normal verb pattern you simply need to learn with the verb.

Because Hebrew often uses an infinitive with ל־ after verbs like want, need, ask, allow, require, and demand.

So:

• דורשת מאיתנו לקרוא = requires us to read

Here לקרוא is the infinitive to read.

This pattern is very common:

• רוצה ללכת — wants to go
• צריך ללמוד — needs to study
• מבקש לחכות — asks to wait

Because כל + singular noun usually means every / each.

So:

• כל פרט = every detail

Compare:

• כל פרט — every detail
• כל הפרטים — all the details

The singular after כל is completely normal here.

A careful pronunciation with vowels would be:

שִׂים לֵב לְמַה שֶׁהִיא אוֹמֶרֶת, כִּי הַמְנַהֶלֶת דּוֹרֶשֶׁת מֵאִתָּנוּ לִקְרוֹא כָּל פְּרָט.

A simple transliteration is:

sim lev le-ma she-hi omeret, ki ha-menahelet doreshet me-itanu likro kol prat

A rough English-style pronunciation guide:

seem lev le-ma she-hee o-ME-ret, kee ha-me-na-HE-let do-RE-shet may-ee-TA-noo lik-RO kol prat

The main stresses are typically on:

• אומרת → oMEret
• מנהלת → menaHElet
• דורשת → doREshet
• מאיתנו → meitaNU
• לקרוא → likRO
