Questions & Answers about אני רוצה להבהיר למה אני לא מסכימה עם ההצעה הזאת.
How can I tell the speaker is female, especially since רוצה looks the same in writing?
You can tell from מסכימה, which is clearly feminine singular.
Also, רוצה is one of those words that is often written the same for masculine and feminine in unpointed Hebrew, but pronounced differently:
- masculine: רוצה = rotzé
- feminine: רוצה = rotzá
So this sentence is said by a woman because of מסכימה, and in speech you would also hear רוצָה.
A male speaker would say: אני רוצה להבהיר למה אני לא מסכים עם ההצעה הזאת.
Why is אני repeated after למה?
Because למה אני לא מסכימה... is a new clause, and Hebrew normally gives that clause its own subject.
So the structure is:
- אני רוצה להבהיר = I want to clarify
- למה אני לא מסכימה = why I don’t agree
Also, in the Hebrew present tense, forms like מסכימה show gender and number, but not clearly person, so using אני helps make the subject explicit and natural.
Why does להבהיר start with ל־?
