Questions & Answers about אני לא רוצה לקנא בה; אני שמחה בשבילה.
A natural pronunciation is:
Ani lo rotzah lekané bah; ani smechah bishvilah.
A few notes:
- רוצה = rotzah if the speaker is female
- לקנא = lekané
- בה = bah
- שמחה = smechah if the speaker is female
- בשבילה = bishvilah
If a male speaker says it, you would hear rotzeh and sameach instead.
Because the speaker is female.
In Hebrew, adjectives and many present-tense verb forms agree with the gender of the speaker or subject.
So here:
- אני לא רוצה = I do not want said by a woman
- אני שמחה = I am happy said by a woman
If a man were speaking, it would be:
- אני לא רוצה לקנא בה; אני שמח בשבילה.
Notice the changes:
- רוצה stays spelled the same, but for a male it is usually pronounced rotzeh
- שמחה changes to שמח
