Questions & Answers about אני שולחת לך את הכתובת שוב בשביל שלא תתבלבלי בדרך לעירייה.
Why is שולחת feminine here?
Because Hebrew present-tense verbs agree with the gender and number of the subject.
So:
- אני שולח = I am sending / I send said by a male speaker
- אני שולחת = I am sending / I send said by a female speaker
Even though אני means I in both cases, the present-tense verb still shows whether the speaker is male or female.
Does אני שולחת mean I send or I am sending?
It can mean either one. Hebrew does not have a separate everyday verb form for the English progressive am sending.
So אני שולחת לך את הכתובת can mean:
- I send you the address
- I am sending you the address
In this sentence, the most natural English meaning is usually I’m sending you the address again.
What does לך mean, and can I tell the listener’s gender from it?
