Questions & Answers about אם לא תסמני את האפשרות הנכונה, יהיה קשה לאתר את הבקשה שלך במערכת.
Why is תסמני in the future tense if the sentence means if you don’t mark?
In Hebrew, the future tense is commonly used after אם (if) when talking about a possible future action.
So:
- אם לא תסמני... = If you do not mark...
- literally, it is something like If you will not mark..., but in natural English we translate it as If you don’t mark...
This is very normal in Hebrew. The future form is used because the sentence is about something that may happen later.
Who is תסמני addressing?
תסמני is addressing one female person.
It comes from the verb לסמן = to mark.
Here are the related forms:
- תסמן = you will mark / you mark (masculine singular)
- תסמני = you will mark / you mark (feminine singular)
- תסמנו = you will mark (plural)
So this sentence is specifically being said to a woman, or it is written in a context where the feminine singular form is being used.
