Questions & Answers about אני רוצה תשובה מדויקת יותר, מאשר "אולי" או "נראה לי".
Why is תשובה followed by מדויקת יותר? Is that the normal word order in Hebrew?
Yes. In Hebrew, adjectives usually come after the noun they describe.
So:
- תשובה = answer
- מדויקת = precise / accurate
- יותר = more
Together, תשובה מדויקת יותר literally follows the Hebrew pattern answer precise more, even though natural English says a more precise answer.
Why is it מדויקת and not מדויק?
Because תשובה is a feminine singular noun, and adjectives in Hebrew must agree with the noun in gender and number.
So:
- masculine singular: מדויק
- feminine singular: מדויקת
- masculine plural: מדויקים
- feminine plural: מדויקות
Since תשובה is feminine singular, the correct form is מדויקת.
Why is יותר placed after the adjective instead of before it?
