אני לא אוהבת לנהוג במרכז העיר, כי קשה מאוד לחנות שם.

Yes, Hebrew can sometimes leave out subject pronouns, but here אני is very helpful because the present-tense form אוהבת does not tell you the person by itself. It can mean I like, you like (to a woman), or she likes, depending on context.

So אני לא אוהבת clearly means I do not like.

אוהבת is the feminine singular present form, so it tells you the speaker is female.

• אני לא אוהבת... = said by a woman
• אני לא אוהב... = said by a man

Hebrew present-tense forms agree with gender and number.

Yes. In Modern Hebrew, the present tense is usually built from forms that historically are participles. So אוהבת is functioning as the present tense of to love / to like.

That is why it behaves a little differently from English:

• Hebrew does not need a separate word like do in I do not like
• Hebrew also does not use a word like am here

So אני לא אוהבת directly means I don't like.

After אוהב / אוהבת, Hebrew often uses an infinitive to mean like doing something.

So:

• אוהבת לנהוג = likes to drive
• literally, like + to drive

This is very common in Hebrew:

• אני אוהב לקרוא = I like to read
• היא אוהבת לבשל = She likes to cook

You could, but it sounds different.

• אני לא אוהבת לנהוג = I don't like driving / the act of driving
• אני לא אוהבת נהיגה = I don't like driving as a noun or activity in a more general sense

The version with the infinitive, לנהוג, is the more natural everyday way to talk about not liking to do the action.

Because את marks a definite direct object noun, not an infinitive verb.

Compare:

• אני אוהבת את העיר = I like the city
• אני אוהבת לנהוג = I like to drive

Since לנהוג is an infinitive, את is not used.

במרכז העיר means in the city center or downtown.

It breaks down like this:

• ב־ = in
• מרכז = center
• העיר = the city

The phrase מרכז העיר is a construct phrase, literally center of the city. In this kind of structure, the first noun usually does not take ה־. The definiteness comes from the second noun:

• מרכז עיר = center of a city
• מרכז העיר = the center of the city

So במרכז העיר is the natural form.

כי means because.

So:

• כי קשה מאוד לחנות שם = because it is very hard to park there

It is one of the most common ways to introduce a reason in Hebrew. Other options exist, such as מפני ש־ or בגלל ש־, but כי is very common and neutral.

In Hebrew, מאוד often comes after the adjective or adverb it modifies.

So:

• קשה מאוד = very hard
• literally, hard very

This word order is extremely common in Hebrew. English usually puts very before the adjective, but Hebrew often places מאוד after it.

Hebrew often does not use a dummy subject like English it in expressions such as:

• it's hard
• it's important
• it's possible

So:

• קשה מאוד לחנות שם literally means very hard to park there
• but in natural English we translate it as it's very hard to park there

This is a normal difference between Hebrew and English.

Yes, לחנות here means to park.

This can be confusing because Hebrew often writes different words with the same consonants when there are no vowel marks.

• לחנות = to park
• חנות = store/shop

They are different words, and context tells you which one is meant. In this sentence, after קשה מאוד, the infinitive לחנות clearly means to park.

Here, שם means there.

So:

• לחנות שם = to park there

This same spelling can also mean name, but that is a different word in pronunciation and meaning. In context, there is the only meaning that fits.
