Questions & Answers about בדרך כלל אני לא אוהבת להיתקל בבעיות ברגע האחרון.
Yes. בדרך כלל is a very common fixed expression meaning usually, generally, or as a rule.
It is best learned as one chunk. Literally, it is something like by way of rule / as a rule, but in everyday Hebrew it simply works as an adverb.
Because the speaker is female.
In the present tense, Hebrew verbs agree with the subject in gender and number:
- אני אוהב = I like / I am liking — said by a male speaker
- אני אוהבת = I like / I am liking — said by a female speaker
So this sentence is being said by a woman. If a man said it, he would say:
בדרך כלל אני לא אוהב להיתקל בבעיות ברגע האחרון.
Hebrew often includes subject pronouns even when the verb already shows who the subject is. So אני here is completely natural.
You can sometimes omit it in casual speech if the context is clear:
בדרך כלל לא אוהבת להיתקל בבעיות ברגע האחרון.
But the full version with אני is more neutral and clearer, especially for learners.
