Questions & Answers about הכבודה שלנו עוד לא הגיעה למסוע, ולכן אנחנו מחכות לידו.

What does הכבודה mean here?

הכבודה means the luggage / baggage.

At the airport, כבודה usually refers to baggage in a general or collective sense, not just one suitcase. So this sentence is talking about our baggage as a whole.

A learner might compare it with:

• מזוודה = a suitcase
• מטען = cargo/load; sometimes used for luggage, but כבודה is very common in airport Hebrew

So הכבודה שלנו is basically our luggage / our baggage.

Why is there a ה־ in הכבודה?

The ה־ is the Hebrew definite article, meaning the.

So:

• כבודה = baggage
• הכבודה = the baggage

In Hebrew, when you say our baggage, you often still use the definite form:

• הכבודה שלנו = our baggage

This is very natural in Hebrew. English does not always use the in the same places, so this can feel unusual at first.

Why is שלנו after the noun, not before it?
