לא משנה כמה זמן אני מחכה, אני עדיין לא מקבלת תשובה.

Here, לא משנה means it doesn’t matter or no matter.

So לא משנה כמה זמן... means no matter how much time... or more naturally in English, no matter how long...

Literally, משנה comes from the verb לשנות / לשנות משהו in the sense of to matter / make a difference in this expression.
So:

• לא משנה = it doesn’t matter
• לא משנה כמה זמן = no matter how long

This is a very common Hebrew structure.

Literally, כמה means how much / how many, and זמן means time. So כמה זמן literally means how much time.

In context, English usually translates that more naturally as how long.

Examples:

• כמה זמן אתה מחכה? = How long have you been waiting?
• לא משנה כמה זמן אני מחכה... = No matter how long I wait...

So this is a normal Hebrew way to express duration.

Hebrew often uses the present tense where English uses present progressive or even present perfect progressive.

So:

• אני מחכה literally = I am waiting
• but depending on context, it can also match English I’ve been waiting

In this sentence, לא משנה כמה זמן אני מחכה is most naturally understood as:

• No matter how long I wait
• or No matter how long I’ve been waiting

Hebrew does not need a separate tense form for have been waiting the way English does.

The sentence has two clauses:

1. לא משנה כמה זמן אני מחכה
2. אני עדיין לא מקבלת תשובה

Each clause has its own subject, so repeating אני is completely normal.

In English, we also repeat the subject:

• No matter how long I wait, I still don’t get an answer.

Hebrew could sometimes omit a repeated subject in certain contexts, but here repeating אני sounds natural and clear.

עדיין means still or yet, depending on the sentence.

In this sentence:

• אני עדיין לא מקבלת תשובה = I still am not getting an answer
• more natural English: I still don’t get an answer / I’m still not getting an answer

With a negative sentence, English often uses still or yet, but Hebrew uses עדיין very naturally in this kind of situation.

Examples:

• אני עדיין כאן = I’m still here
• הוא עדיין לא הגיע = He still hasn’t arrived / He hasn’t arrived yet

Because the speaker is female.

In Hebrew present tense, verbs agree with gender and number. So:

• אני מקבל = I receive / I’m receiving said by a male
• אני מקבלת = I receive / I’m receiving said by a female

The same applies to מחכה, but מחכה looks the same for masculine and feminine singular in the present tense, so you don’t see the difference there.

So this sentence is spoken by a woman:

• אני עדיין לא מקבלת תשובה

If a man said it, it would be:

• אני עדיין לא מקבל תשובה

Because תשובה here is indefinite: an answer, not the answer.

In Hebrew, את is used before a definite direct object.

So:

• אני מקבלת תשובה = I’m getting an answer
  no את, because תשובה is indefinite

But:

• אני לא מקבלת את התשובה = I’m not getting the answer
  here you use את because התשובה is definite

That is a very important Hebrew rule.

Yes. תשובה without ה־ usually means an answer in a general or indefinite sense.

• תשובה = an answer / answer
• התשובה = the answer

So:

• אני לא מקבלת תשובה = I’m not getting an answer
• אני לא מקבלת את התשובה = I’m not getting the answer

The sentence as written has a more general feeling: no answer is arriving at all.

לא is the normal Hebrew word for not.

So:

• אני מקבלת תשובה = I get / I am getting an answer
• אני לא מקבלת תשובה = I do not get / I am not getting an answer

In this sentence:

• אני עדיין לא מקבלת תשובה = I still am not getting an answer

Hebrew usually places לא directly before the verb it negates.

Good question. לחכות often appears with a preposition, especially ל־:

• אני מחכה לך = I’m waiting for you
• אני מחכה לתשובה = I’m waiting for an answer

But in this sentence, the thing being waited for is not stated inside the first clause. The clause just says:

• כמה זמן אני מחכה = how long I wait / how long I’ve been waiting

That is perfectly natural. The sentence then continues with the result:

• אני עדיין לא מקבלת תשובה = I still don’t get an answer

So the first clause focuses on duration, not on the object of waiting.

The comma separates the two parts of the sentence:

• לא משנה כמה זמן אני מחכה
• אני עדיין לא מקבלת תשובה

The first part is a dependent idea: No matter how long I wait.
The second part is the main statement: I still don’t get an answer.

This is similar to English punctuation:

• No matter how long I wait, I still don’t get an answer.

So the comma is natural and helpful here.

Yes, absolutely.

Because Hebrew present tense is flexible, this sentence can match several natural English versions, including:

• No matter how long I wait, I still don’t get an answer.
• No matter how long I’ve been waiting, I still don’t get an answer.
• No matter how long I wait, I’m still not getting an answer.

The exact English wording depends on style and context, but the Hebrew sentence itself is natural.

Yes, it is natural and idiomatic.

It sounds like something a native speaker could really say when expressing frustration. The structure is common:

• לא משנה כמה... = No matter how...
• אני עדיין לא... = I still don’t...

So the whole sentence sounds natural, emotional, and conversational.
