כולן כבר מוכנות לצאת.

כולן means all of them when referring to a group of feminine people or things.

It is not just a general all. Hebrew usually marks gender, so:

• כולם = all of them, masculine / mixed group
• כולן = all of them, feminine group

So in this sentence, כולן tells you right away that the group is feminine.

Because the people being talked about are feminine plural.

Hebrew adjectives and pronouns must agree in gender and number with the noun or group they describe. Since the subject is a group of females, the sentence uses:

• כולן = feminine plural
• מוכנות = feminine plural form of ready

If the group were masculine or mixed, you would normally say:

• כולם כבר מוכנים לצאת

The basic dictionary form is usually מוכן for masculine singular, meaning ready.

Its common forms are:

• מוכן = masculine singular
• מוכנה = feminine singular
• מוכנים = masculine plural
• מוכנות = feminine plural

So מוכנות is simply the feminine plural form that matches כולן.

It is functioning like an adjective here: ready.

Hebrew often makes sentences in the present tense without a separate word for are. So:

• כולן כבר מוכנות לצאת literally works like
• All of them already ready to go out

In natural English, we say:

• They are all already ready to go out.

So even though English needs are, Hebrew does not include a present-tense verb to be here.

Because in Hebrew, the verb to be is usually omitted in the present tense.

So Hebrew says:

• היא עייפה = She is tired
• הן מוכנות = They are ready

But in past or future, Hebrew does use forms of to be, or other structures depending on the sentence.

This is very normal and one of the first big differences English speakers notice.

כבר usually means already.

Here it tells you that the group has reached the state of being ready. So it adds the sense of:

• already ready
• ready now
• ready by this point

Depending on context, it can sometimes carry a tone like at last, by now, or as it is, but the basic meaning here is simply already.

לצאת is the infinitive form of the verb to go out / to leave.

It is built from:

• ל־ = to
• צאת = the infinitive part of the verb

So מוכנות לצאת means ready to go out or ready to leave.

This pattern is very common in Hebrew:

• מוכן לאכול = ready to eat
• מוכנה להתחיל = ready to begin
• מוכנים ללכת = ready to go

Yes, Hebrew word order is fairly flexible, though some orders sound more natural than others.

כולן כבר מוכנות לצאת is a very natural order and puts emphasis first on all of them.

You might also hear something like:

• הן כבר כולן מוכנות לצאת
• כבר כולן מוכנות לצאת

But the exact word order can slightly change the emphasis or sound more literary, conversational, or marked.

The given sentence is straightforward and idiomatic.

Yes. Feminine plural forms in Hebrew can refer to either:

• a group of women/girls
• feminine plural nouns that are things

For example, if you were talking about feminine plural items metaphorically being ready to go out, Hebrew grammar would still use כולן and מוכנות.

Still, in everyday usage, this sentence very naturally sounds like it is talking about a group of females who are ready to leave or go out.

Hebrew לצאת can cover both ideas depending on context.

It may mean:

• to go out physically, as in going outside or going out socially
• to leave, as in departing from a place

So מוכנות לצאת could mean:

• ready to go out
• ready to leave

The surrounding context tells you which is intended.

Yes, הן כבר מוכנות לצאת is correct.

The difference is:

• הן = they (feminine)
• כולן = all of them

So כולן is more explicit and emphatic about the whole group. It stresses that every one of them is ready.

Compare:

• הן כבר מוכנות לצאת = They are already ready to go out
• כולן כבר מוכנות לצאת = All of them are already ready to go out

A simple pronunciation guide is:

ku-LAN kvar mu-kha-NOT la-TSET

A few notes:

• כולן stresses the last syllable: ku-LAN
• כבר is kvar
• מוכנות stresses the last syllable: mu-kha-NOT
• לצאת stresses the last syllable: la-TSET

The kh sound in מוכנות is the throaty Hebrew sound, like ch in German Bach.

Yes, absolutely.

Even though it has no separate word for are, it is a complete and normal Hebrew sentence. Hebrew often forms present-tense sentences with:

• subject + adjective/complement

So:

• כולן = subject
• כבר = adverb
• מוכנות = predicate adjective
• לצאת = infinitive complement

That gives a full sentence meaning All of them are already ready to go out.
