Questions & Answers about ההתנהגות שלך עשתה עליי רושם טוב, במיוחד כי נשארת רגועה.
Because ההתנהגות is a feminine noun in Hebrew.
- התנהגות = behavior
- It is grammatically feminine
- So the verb must also be feminine singular in the past: עשתה
That is why the sentence says:
- ההתנהגות שלך עשתה...
- literally: your behavior did...
Even though behavior is not a person, Hebrew still gives nouns grammatical gender, and verbs often have to agree with that gender.
The ה at the beginning is the definite article, like the in English.
- התנהגות = behavior / behavior in general
- ההתנהגות = the behavior
So ההתנהגות שלך is literally your behavior, or more literally the behavior of yours.
In Hebrew, when a noun is made definite with your / his / her / etc., it is often also marked with ה:
- הספר שלי = my book
- החבר שלך = your friend
- ההתנהגות שלך = your behavior
