Questions & Answers about אם יהיה בונוס בסוף השנה, נוכל לצאת לחופשה קצרה.
This is a very common point of confusion.
In Hebrew, after אם (if), it is normal to use the future tense when talking about a real future possibility:
אם יהיה בונוס...
literally: if there will be a bonus...
That is the standard Hebrew way to express a future condition. So even though English prefers If there is a bonus, Hebrew naturally says אם יהיה בונוס.
So:
- אם יהיה = if there is / if there will be
- not usually אם יש here, unless you mean a present situation
נוכל is the future tense of יכול (can / be able to), in the 1st person plural:
- אני אוכל = I will be able to
- אנחנו נוכל = we will be able to
So נוכל לצאת means:
- we will be able to go out
- more naturally in English here: we’ll be able to go
It expresses possibility or ability in the future.
