Questions & Answers about אני מזכירה לעצמי לא להיעלב מכל הערה קטנה.
Because מזכירה is the feminine singular present-tense form.
In Hebrew present tense, the verb agrees with the subject in gender and number:
- אני מזכירה = said by a woman
- אני מזכיר = said by a man
So if a male speaker said the same sentence, it would be:
אני מזכיר לעצמי לא להיעלב מכל הערה קטנה.
לעצמי means to myself.
It is made of:
- ל־ = to
- עצמי = myself
So:
- אני מזכירה לעצמי = I remind myself
This is a reflexive idea: the speaker is doing the reminding, and the speaker is also the one being reminded.
A few related forms:
- לעצמך = to yourself
- לעצמו = to himself
- לעצמה = to herself
- לעצמנו = to ourselves
Because להזכיר usually needs an object: you remind someone of something.
Compare:
- אני מזכירה לעצמי = I remind myself
- אני מזכירה לך = I remind you
- אני מזכירה להם = I remind them
If you only say אני מזכירה, it sounds incomplete unless the object is understood from context.
