בסוף השבוע אנחנו רוצים לפנק את סבתא בעוגה ובפרחים.

In this sentence, בסוף השבוע most naturally means on the weekend / over the weekend.

Literally, the parts are:

• ב־ = in / at / on
• סוף = end
• השבוע = the week

So word-for-word it is at the end of the week, but in normal modern Hebrew this phrase is very commonly used the way English uses on the weekend.

Hebrew often uses the definite form in expressions like this. סוף השבוע is basically a set phrase meaning the weekend or the end of the week.

So:

• סוף שבוע can sometimes appear in certain contexts, but
• סוף השבוע is the standard everyday way to say the weekend

When you add ב־, it becomes בסוף השבוע = on the weekend / at the end of the week.

Yes. In Hebrew, the verb ending already tells you the subject, so רוצים by itself can mean we want.

But Hebrew often includes the subject pronoun anyway:

• for clarity
• for emphasis
• because it sounds natural in conversation

So:

• רוצים לפנק את סבתא = We want to pamper Grandma
• אנחנו רוצים לפנק את סבתא = also We want to pamper Grandma, with the pronoun stated explicitly

Both are correct.

רוצים is the masculine plural form, and רוצות is the feminine plural form.

Hebrew uses:

• רוצים for a group of males, or a mixed group
• רוצות for a group of females only

So this sentence assumes that we is either:

• a mixed group, or
• a masculine group, or
• just using the default masculine plural

If the speakers were all female, it would be:

• בסוף השבוע אנחנו רוצות לפנק את סבתא בעוגה ובפרחים.

Because after רוצה / רוצים (want / wants / want to), Hebrew normally uses the infinitive.

So the structure is:

• רוצים = want
• לפנק = to pamper / to spoil / to treat

Together:

• רוצים לפנק = want to pamper

This is very similar to English want to + verb.

Other examples:

• אני רוצה לאכול = I want to eat
• אנחנו רוצים ללכת = We want to go

לפנק means something like:

• to pamper
• to spoil
• to treat someone nicely
• to indulge someone

It often has a warm, affectionate feeling. In this sentence, it suggests doing something nice for Grandma, such as giving her cake and flowers.

So it is not usually a harsh or negative spoil. It is more like treating someone lovingly.

את is the marker of a definite direct object in Hebrew.

It does not mean you here. It marks the noun that receives the action.

In this sentence:

• לפנק = the action
• סבתא = the person being pampered

Because Grandma is a specific, definite person, Hebrew uses את:

• לפנק את סבתא

This is very common in Hebrew:

• אני רואה את דני = I see Danny
• אנחנו אוהבים את המורה = We love the teacher

English has no equivalent word here, so את is often left untranslated.

Here, סבתא is being used almost like a proper name: Grandma.

In family speech, Hebrew often uses words like:

• אמא = Mom
• אבא = Dad
• סבתא = Grandma
• סבא = Grandpa

without ה־, because the person is already understood and specific from context.

So:

• את סבתא = Grandma
• את הסבתא would sound more like the grandmother, referring to her as a category rather than as a family title

In this sentence, סבתא is the natural choice.

Good question. After verbs like לפנק, Hebrew often uses ב־ to express the thing used to treat or indulge someone.

So:

• לפנק מישהו בעוגה = to treat/pamper someone with a cake
• לפנק מישהו בפרחים = to pamper someone with flowers

This use of ב־ is idiomatic. It does not mean literal in here. It means something like by means of / with.

Could you say עם? Sometimes Hebrew uses עם for with, but in this specific pattern, לפנק ב־ is very natural and common.

Because Hebrew frequently attaches short function words directly to the next word as prefixes.

Here:

• ב־ = with / in / by
• ו־ = and

So:

• ב + עוגה = בעוגה
• ו + ב + פרחים = ובפרחים

This is completely normal in Hebrew spelling.

So the sentence is built like this:

• בעוגה = with a cake
• ובפרחים = and with flowers

Yes, Hebrew word order is fairly flexible.

Putting בסוף השבוע at the beginning sets the time frame right away:

• בסוף השבוע אנחנו רוצים לפנק את סבתא...
• On the weekend, we want to pamper Grandma...

That sounds very natural.

You could also say:

• אנחנו רוצים לפנק את סבתא בסוף השבוע בעוגה ובפרחים

That is also understandable, but the original version is smoother and more natural if the speaker wants to highlight when this is happening.

As written, they are indefinite:

• בעוגה = with a cake
• ובפרחים = and with flowers

There is no ה־ on either noun, so the meaning is general: some cake and some flowers, not specifically the cake and the flowers.

If you wanted them to be definite, you would get forms like:

• בעוגה can be tricky because ב + ה contracts, so בעוגה can also mean in/with the cake depending on context
• בפרחים can likewise be with flowers or with the flowers, depending on context and vowel pattern in fully pointed text

In unpointed Hebrew, context usually tells you which meaning is intended. In this sentence, the natural reading is indefinite: with a cake and flowers.
