Questions & Answers about מחר יש לי ראיון למשרה חדשה בחברה קטנה.
Why does Hebrew use יש לי here instead of a verb meaning I have?
Hebrew usually expresses possession with יש ל... + pronoun or noun, literally something like there is to me.
So:
- יש לי = I have
- יש לך = you have
- יש לו = he has
- יש לה = she has
In this sentence:
- יש לי ראיון = I have an interview
This is the normal, everyday way to say it in Modern Hebrew.
Why does the sentence start with מחר?
מחר means tomorrow, and putting it first is very natural in Hebrew when you want to set the time frame right away.
So:
- מחר יש לי ראיון... = Tomorrow I have an interview...
You could also say:
- יש לי מחר ראיון...
That is also possible, but it sounds a little different in emphasis. Starting with מחר highlights the time first, which is very common.
Why is there no word for am / is / are in the sentence?
