Questions & Answers about אני רוצה להכין לעצמי קפה.
A word-by-word breakdown is:
- אני = I
- רוצה = want / wants in the present tense form used with I
- להכין = to prepare / to make
- לעצמי = for myself
- קפה = coffee
So the whole sentence means I want to make myself coffee or I want to make some coffee for myself.
Because Hebrew often uses this pattern:
- רוצה + infinitive
- literally: want + to do something
So:
- אני רוצה = I want
- אני רוצה להכין = I want to make / prepare
This works just like English:
- I want to eat = אני רוצה לאכול
- I want to drink = אני רוצה לשתות
- I want to make coffee = אני רוצה להכין קפה
