אם האדמה רטובה מדי, לא כדאי לזרוע את כל הזרעים היום.

אם means if. It introduces a condition:

אם האדמה רטובה מדי = if the soil is too wet

Hebrew often puts the if-clause first, just like English can. You could also rearrange the sentence and put the main idea first, but this order is very natural.

Because האדמה is a feminine singular noun, the adjective has to match it.

• רטוב = wet, masculine singular
• רטובה = wet, feminine singular

So:

• האדמה רטובה = the soil is wet

This is basic adjective agreement in Hebrew.

Because here רטובה is a predicate adjective, not an adjective directly attached to the noun.

This sentence means:

האדמה רטובה = the soil is wet

In that structure, the adjective usually does not take ה־.

Compare:

• האדמה רטובה = the soil is wet
• האדמה הרטובה = the wet soil

So in your sentence, רטובה is correct because it is part of the statement about the soil, not part of the noun phrase itself.

In Hebrew, מדי means too in the sense of excessively, and it usually comes after the adjective or adverb it modifies.

So:

• רטובה מדי = too wet
• literally: wet too-much

This is different from English, where too usually comes before the adjective.

כדאי is a very common Hebrew word meaning something like:

• advisable
• worthwhile
• a good idea

So לא כדאי means:

• it’s not advisable
• it’s not a good idea
• sometimes it’s not worth it, depending on context

In this sentence, לא כדאי לזרוע... means it’s not a good idea to sow...

It is an impersonal expression. Hebrew does not need a subject like it here.

לזרוע is the infinitive, meaning to sow or to plant seeds.

After כדאי, Hebrew normally uses an infinitive:

• כדאי ללכת = it’s a good idea to go
• לא כדאי לחכות = it’s not a good idea to wait
• לא כדאי לזרוע = it’s not a good idea to sow

So the pattern is very common:

כדאי / לא כדאי + infinitive

Yes, in a sense. Hebrew leaves it general here.

לא כדאי לזרוע את כל הזרעים היום does not explicitly say who should not sow them. Depending on context, it can mean:

• we shouldn’t sow all the seeds today
• you shouldn’t sow all the seeds today
• one shouldn’t sow all the seeds today

Hebrew often uses this kind of impersonal wording when giving advice.

את marks a definite direct object.

Here, כל הזרעים means all the seeds. Because the noun phrase is definite, Hebrew uses את before it:

• לזרוע את כל הזרעים = to sow all the seeds

Important point: את does not mean anything by itself in English here. It just marks the object.

כל הזרעים means all the seeds — a specific, complete set of seeds.

• זרעים = seeds
• הזרעים = the seeds
• כל הזרעים = all the seeds

So the sentence is not talking about seeds in general. It is talking about a particular group of seeds, probably the ones the speaker and listener have in mind.

Literally, אדמה can mean earth, ground, or soil, depending on context.

In this sentence, because we are talking about sowing seeds, the most natural English meaning is soil or ground, not the planet Earth.

So:

• האדמה רטובה מדי = the soil is too wet

היום means today, and putting time expressions at the end of the sentence is very common in Hebrew.

So:

לא כדאי לזרוע את כל הזרעים היום = it’s not a good idea to sow all the seeds today

The placement is natural and neutral. Hebrew word order is somewhat flexible, but this version sounds very normal. Moving היום earlier would usually add emphasis rather than change the basic meaning.
