Questions & Answers about האוטובוס אמור להגיע בשש וחצי.
In this sentence, אמור means something like is supposed to or is expected to.
So:
- האוטובוס אמור להגיע = the bus is supposed to arrive / the bus is expected to arrive
Literally, אמור comes from a word meaning said or meant, but in modern Hebrew this structure is very commonly used to express expectation, schedule, or obligation.
In everyday use, it often works like:
- אני אמור ללכת = I’m supposed to go
- הם אמורים לבוא = They’re supposed to come
So even if the exact English wording changes a little, the idea is usually expectation or what should happen.
Because האוטובוס (the bus) is masculine singular, and אמור has to agree with it.
Agreement here works like this:
- אמור = masculine singular
- אמורה = feminine singular
- אמורים = masculine plural
- אמורות = feminine plural
Examples:
- הרכבת אמורה להגיע = The train is supposed to arrive
(רכבת is feminine singular) - האוטובוסים אמורים להגיע = The buses are supposed to arrive
(אוטובוסים is masculine plural)
So in your sentence, אמור matches האוטובוס.
