אני רוצה לבדוק את זה בעצמי.

A common transliteration is ani rotze livdok et ze be'atzmi.

If the speaker is female, it is pronounced ani rotza livdok et ze be'atzmi.

A rough stress guide:

• a-NI
• rot-ZE / rot-ZA
• liv-DOK
• et ZE
• be-atz-MI

Sometimes yes, but in the present tense Hebrew often keeps the subject pronoun because the verb form does not clearly show person.

So רוצה by itself can mean something like:

• want for I,
• you,
• or he/she depending on context, gender, and pronunciation.

Because of that, אני רוצה is the clearest and most natural way to say I want here.

Yes, in pronunciation.

The spelling רוצה can represent:

• rotze = masculine singular
• rotza = feminine singular

So:

• Male speaker: אני רוצה לבדוק את זה בעצמי = ani rotze livdok et ze be'atzmi
• Female speaker: אני רוצה לבדוק את זה בעצמי = ani rotza livdok et ze be'atzmi

In normal unpointed Hebrew, both are written the same way.

Because לבדוק is the infinitive form, meaning to check / to examine / to look into.

The prefix ל־ is very common in Hebrew infinitives, so after רוצה (want), Hebrew uses:

• רוצה לבדוק = want to check

This is similar to English to check.

את is the direct object marker. It usually appears before a definite direct object.

It does not have a separate meaning in English, so it is usually not translated.

Here:

• את זה = literally something like [direct object marker] this/it
• natural English: it or this

So in this sentence, את is there because זה is the definite thing being checked.

Yes, זה literally means this or that, but in sentences like this it can also function very naturally as it, depending on context.

So את זה can mean:

• this
• that
• it

The exact English choice depends on the situation.

For example:

• אני רוצה לבדוק את זה can be translated as I want to check this, I want to check that, or I want to check it.

Sometimes, yes.

• את זה = this / that / it in a general or demonstrative sense
• אותו = him / it referring back to a specific masculine noun

So:

• אני רוצה לבדוק את זה sounds like I want to check this/that/it
• אני רוצה לבדוק אותו sounds more like I want to check it/him, referring back to a masculine noun already mentioned

In many everyday situations, את זה is very common and natural.

בעצמי means myself, in the sense of personally or on my own initiative.

In this sentence:

• אני רוצה לבדוק את זה בעצמי = I want to check it myself

It emphasizes that I want to be the one who checks it.

It is built from:

• ב־ = a prefix here used as part of the expression
• עצמי = myself

As a whole, בעצמי is best learned as a fixed expression meaning myself / personally.

Not exactly.

• בעצמי emphasizes I myself, personally
• לבד means alone

So:

• אני רוצה לבדוק את זה בעצמי = I want to check it myself
• אני רוצה לבדוק את זה לבד = I want to check it alone

Sometimes the ideas overlap in real life, but the emphasis is different.

The given order is very natural and neutral:

• אני רוצה לבדוק את זה בעצמי

Hebrew word order can change for emphasis, but that may slightly shift the focus.

For example:

• אני בעצמי רוצה לבדוק את זה emphasizes I myself
• את זה אני רוצה לבדוק בעצמי emphasizes this/it

For a learner, the original version is an excellent standard pattern to use.

No. לבדוק is a broad verb.

It can mean:

• check
• examine
• inspect
• test
• look into

So this sentence could fit many contexts, for example:

• checking a fact
• testing a device
• examining a problem
• looking into a situation

The exact shade of meaning comes from context.
