לפני שאנחנו מחליטות, כדאי לשקול גם את האפשרות הזולה יותר.

Because the sentence is speaking from the point of view of a group of females: we.

Hebrew verbs in the present tense agree with gender and number. So:

• masculine plural: מחליטים
• feminine plural: מחליטות

So אנחנו מחליטות means we (female speakers) decide / are deciding.

If the group were male or mixed, Hebrew would normally use מחליטים.

In the present tense, Hebrew usually does not have separate verb endings for I / you / we / they the way many European languages do. Present-tense forms behave a lot like adjectives/participles, so they mainly show:

• gender
• number

Because of that, the subject pronoun is often included for clarity:

• אנחנו מחליטות = we are deciding / we decide

You can sometimes omit אנחנו if the context is already very clear, but including it is very natural.

Literally, it is before that we decide.

In natural English, that becomes before we decide.

The ש here is a linking word meaning something like that. After לפני it is very common to say:

• לפני ש... = before...

So:

• לפני שאנחנו מחליטות = before we decide

This is a very common structure in Hebrew.

Yes. That would also be very natural.

Compare:

• לפני שאנחנו מחליטות — literally before we are deciding / before we decide
• לפני שנחליט — literally before we will decide, but in actual usage: before we decide

The second version uses the future form נחליט, which Hebrew often uses in clauses like this where English would still say present.

Both are good Hebrew. The version in your sentence feels a little more explicit and conversational because it includes אנחנו and shows feminine plural directly.

כדאי means it is כדאי / worthwhile / advisable / a good idea. In this sentence, the most natural English sense is:

• it’s worth
• it’s advisable
• it would be a good idea

So כדאי לשקול means it’s worth considering or it would be a good idea to consider.

Grammatically, כדאי is not a normal verb. It is used more like an impersonal expression:

• כדאי ללכת = it’s worth going / it’s a good idea to go
• כדאי לחשוב על זה = it’s worth thinking about it

Because after כדאי, Hebrew normally uses an infinitive.

So the pattern is:

• כדאי + infinitive

Examples:

• כדאי לבדוק = it’s worth checking
• כדאי לחכות = it’s worth waiting
• כדאי לשקול = it’s worth considering

That is why you get לשקול and not a fully conjugated verb here.

את marks a definite direct object.

Here, the thing being considered is the cheaper option, and that object is definite, so Hebrew uses את:

• לשקול את האפשרות = to consider the option

Hebrew uses את before a direct object when that object is definite, for example:

• has ה: את האפשרות
• is a proper name: את דנה
• has a possessive ending: את הספר שלי

But if the object were indefinite, there would usually be no את:

• לשקול אפשרות אחרת = to consider another option

Because it means the option / the possibility, not just an option.

• אפשרות = an option / a possibility
• האפשרות = the option / the possibility

In this sentence, the speaker has a specific option in mind: the cheaper option. That makes it definite.

Because the whole phrase is definite: the cheaper option.

In Hebrew, when a noun is definite, its adjective is also usually definite. So:

• אפשרות זולה = a cheap option
• האפשרות הזולה = the cheap option

With a comparative:

• האפשרות הזולה יותר = the cheaper option

So both the noun and the adjective take ה because the phrase is definite.

Because it agrees with אפשרות, which is a feminine singular noun.

Agreement in Hebrew means adjectives match the noun in:

• gender
• number
• definiteness

So:

• אפשרות = feminine singular
• therefore זולה = feminine singular adjective

If the noun were masculine singular, you would get זול.
If it were feminine plural, זולות.
If masculine plural, זולים.

יותר means more, and Hebrew commonly forms the comparative with:

• adjective + יותר

So:

• זול = cheap
• זול יותר = cheaper
• זולה יותר = cheaper (feminine singular)

That is why הזולה יותר means the cheaper.

Hebrew does not usually have separate forms like English cheap / cheaper / cheapest. Instead, it often uses יותר for the comparative:

• מהיר יותר = faster
• טובה יותר = better in the sense of more good, though some adjectives also have special common patterns in usage

גם means also / too / as well.

Here it adds the idea that this is not the only thing to consider:

• כדאי לשקול גם את האפשרות הזולה יותר
• it’s worth considering the cheaper option too / also

In other words, maybe other options have already been discussed, and the speaker is saying: let’s include this one as well.

It can mean either, depending on context.

• אפשרות = possibility
• אפשרות = option

In this sentence, because it is something you consider and it is described as cheaper, the best English choice is usually option.

So learners should know that Hebrew often uses the same word where English might choose either possibility or option depending on the situation.

It is quite neutral and natural. It works well in spoken or written Hebrew.

A few notes:

• כדאי לשקול sounds thoughtful and fairly standard
• גם את האפשרות הזולה יותר is natural and not overly formal
• מחליטות makes it specifically feminine plural, which may feel more noticeable to English speakers because English usually does not mark that

So overall, this is normal modern Hebrew, neither especially slangy nor stiff.
