Questions & Answers about בא לך לשתות קפה בבית הקפה ליד המשרד?
Yes — literally, בא לך is something like comes to you, from the verb לבוא (to come).
But as an idiomatic expression, בא לך... means:
- Do you feel like... ?
- Do you want to... ?
- Are you in the mood to... ?
So:
- בא לך לשתות קפה? = Do you feel like drinking coffee?
It is a very common, everyday, informal Hebrew expression.
Because in this expression, בא is usually treated as a fixed impersonal form in everyday Hebrew.
Even though בא is grammatically the masculine singular form of to come, in בא לך / בא לי / בא לו it works more like an idiom:
- בא לי = I feel like / I want
- בא לך = you feel like / you want
- בא לו = he feels like / he wants
So learners should usually memorize בא + pronoun as a set phrase rather than trying to analyze it too literally.
