Questions & Answers about אחרי כל המאמץ הזה, יש גבול לכמה שעות אפשר להמשיך בלי לנוח.
What does אחרי mean here, and why does the sentence start with it?
אחרי means after.
So אחרי כל המאמץ הזה means after all this effort.
Hebrew often begins a sentence with a time or context phrase, just like English can:
- After all this effort, ...
- In the morning, ...
- Because of that, ...
The comma after הזה marks that introductory phrase.
Why is it כל המאמץ הזה and not something else?
כל means all or every, depending on context.
In כל המאמץ הזה, it means all of this effort:
- כל = all
- המאמץ = the effort
- הזה = this
So literally it is something like all the effort this, but natural English is all this effort.
A useful pattern:
- כל היום = all day
- כל הספר = the whole book
- כל המאמץ הזה = all this effort
Because the noun is definite (המאמץ, the effort) and also has הזה (this), the whole phrase is definite: all this effort.
Why does come after the noun in ?
