היא שלחה לי הודעה קצרה וברורה.

Because the subject is היא (she), and in the past tense Hebrew verbs change to match the subject’s gender and number.

• הוא שלח = he sent
• היא שלחה = she sent

So שלחה is the correct feminine singular past form.

In Hebrew, the verb form itself usually shows the tense. Here, שלחה is the past tense form of the verb לשלוח (to send).

So:

• שולחת = sends / is sending
• שלחה = sent

The form שלחה tells you the action already happened.

לי means to me. It is made from:

• ל־ = to
• י = me

Hebrew often places this kind of indirect object right after the verb:

• היא שלחה לי הודעה = She sent me a message

This word order is very natural in Hebrew. English also allows something similar: she sent me a message.

הודעה means message, notice, or announcement, depending on context. In this sentence it means message.

It is a feminine singular noun, which matters because the adjectives that describe it must also be feminine singular.

Because they describe הודעה, and הודעה is a feminine noun.

In Hebrew, adjectives must agree with the noun in:

• gender
• number
• sometimes definiteness in usage

So:

• הודעה קצרה = a short message
• הודעה ברורה = a clear message

Both adjectives take the feminine singular form:

• קצר → masculine
• קצרה → feminine
• ברור → masculine
• ברורה → feminine

Because את is usually used before a definite direct object.

Compare:

• היא שלחה הודעה = She sent a message
• היא שלחה את ההודעה = She sent the message

In your sentence, הודעה is indefinite (a message), so there is no את.

In Hebrew, adjectives normally come after the noun they describe.

So Hebrew says:

• הודעה קצרה = literally message short
• הודעה קצרה וברורה = a short and clear message

This is one of the big differences from English word order.

The prefix ו־ means and.

So:

• קצרה = short
• ברורה = clear
• קצרה וברורה = short and clear

Hebrew usually attaches and directly to the next word as a prefix instead of writing it as a separate word.

The ה at the start of הודעה is part of the noun itself, not the word the.

That means:

• הודעה = message
• ההודעה = the message

So in your sentence, הודעה is still indefinite. Its first ה belongs to the word itself.

Only the verb would change:

• היא שלחה לי הודעה קצרה וברורה. = She sent me a short and clear message.
• הוא שלח לי הודעה קצרה וברורה. = He sent me a short and clear message.

The adjectives stay the same because they describe הודעה, which is still feminine.

Yes. Hebrew often drops subject pronouns when the verb already makes the subject clear.

So both are possible:

• היא שלחה לי הודעה קצרה וברורה.
• שלחה לי הודעה קצרה וברורה.

The first is more explicit. The second is often natural in context, especially if it is already clear who she is.

It is pronounced roughly shal-kha.

The root is ש-ל-ח, related to sending. In the feminine singular past form, Hebrew adds an ־ה ending:

• שלח = he sent
• שלחה = she sent

Even though the spelling ends with ה, the important thing for learners is to recognize the whole form as she sent.

Yes, but depending on context, קצרה can also feel like brief, and ברורה can also mean clear in the sense of easy to understand.

So possible translations include:

• a short and clear message
• a brief, clear message

All of these fit the Hebrew well.

The dictionary form is לשלוח (to send).

From that verb you get forms like:

• לשלוח = to send
• שולח = sending / sends (masculine singular)
• שלח = he sent
• שלחה = she sent

So שלחה is one conjugated form of לשלוח.
