יש לו ניסיון בעבודה עם אנשים, ולכן הוא מתאים לתפקיד הזה.

Hebrew usually expresses possession with יש + ל־.

• יש = there is / there are
• לו = to him

So יש לו ניסיון literally means there is experience to him, which is how Hebrew says he has experience.

This is the normal present-tense way to say have in everyday Hebrew.

A useful contrast:

• יש לו ניסיון = he has experience
• אין לו ניסיון = he doesn’t have experience

Here ניסיון means experience, especially practical or work-related experience.

It is a masculine singular noun.

In other contexts, ניסיון can sometimes mean something like a trial or an attempt, but in this sentence the meaning is clearly experience.

Literally, it is something like in work with people.

But natural English usually turns that into working with people.

So:

• עבודה = work / working
• עם אנשים = with people

That makes ניסיון בעבודה עם אנשים mean experience in working with people.

Hebrew often uses a noun phrase where English prefers an -ing form.

The prefix ב־ usually means in, at, during, or sometimes by means of, depending on context.

Here it gives the sense of experience in working or experience through work with people.

So:

• עבודה = work
• בעבודה = in work / in working

Hebrew commonly attaches short prepositions directly to the following word.

אנשים is the common word for people here, and it is the irregular plural of איש.

• איש = man / person
• אנשים = people / men

So עם אנשים simply means with people.

This is a very common plural, so it is worth memorizing as a set.

ולכן means and therefore, and so, or simply therefore.

It is made up of:

• ו־ = and
• לכן = therefore / so

In Hebrew, very short function words like ו־ are usually written as prefixes attached to the next word.

In the present tense, Hebrew usually does not use a separate word for am / is / are.

So:

• הוא מתאים = he is suitable / he fits

That is completely normal Hebrew.

In past or future, Hebrew does use forms of to be:

• הוא היה מתאים = he was suitable
• הוא יהיה מתאים = he will be suitable

Here מתאים functions like an adjective, meaning suitable, appropriate, or a good fit.

Learners sometimes notice that it feels a bit verbal too, because it is related to a verb and can appear in verb-like patterns in other sentences. But in this sentence, the simplest way to understand it is as a descriptive word.

It agrees with gender and number:

• masculine singular: מתאים
• feminine singular: מתאימה
• masculine plural: מתאימים
• feminine plural: מתאימות

Since the subject is הוא, the masculine singular form מתאים is used.

הוא makes the subject clear in the second clause: therefore he is suitable for this position.

Even though לו earlier already points to him, the sentence has moved on to a new statement, so Hebrew normally makes the subject explicit again.

Without הוא, the sentence would sound more elliptical and less natural in standard writing.

Hebrew attaches prepositions to nouns, and when ל־ combines with the definite article ה־, they merge.

So:

• התפקיד = the position / the role
• ל + התפקיד becomes לתפקיד = to/for the position

Since the position is part of this position, the noun is definite:

• התפקיד הזה = this position
• לתפקיד הזה = for this position

So לתפקיד is the normal combined form.

In Hebrew, demonstratives like this usually come after the noun.

So:

• התפקיד הזה = this position
• האיש הזה = this man
• האנשים האלה = these people

That means Hebrew says something closer to the position this than this position.

This word order is standard Hebrew.
