Questions & Answers about המאמץ שלך עזר לנו לסיים בזמן.

Why is it המאמץ שלך and not just מאמץ שלך?

Because with של-phrases, Hebrew often uses the definite article ה־ on the noun:

• המאמץ שלך = your effort
• literally, the effort of yours

This is the normal way to say a specific possessed thing in Hebrew.

If you say מאמץ שלך without ה־, it can sound more like an effort of yours rather than your effort.

What does שלך mean exactly, and does it change depending on who I am talking to?

שלך means your.

For singular you, the spelling is usually the same for masculine and feminine, but the pronunciation changes:

• to a man: שֶלְךָ = shelkha
• to a woman: שֶלָּךְ = shelakh

So this sentence could be addressed to either a man or a woman, depending on pronunciation.

Other forms are:

• שלכם = your (masculine plural / mixed group)
• שלכן = your (feminine plural)
