אם לוח הזמנים שלך גמיש, נוכל להקדים את הפגישה.

אם means if. It introduces a condition:

• אם לוח הזמנים שלך גמיש = If your schedule is flexible

This is a very common way to build conditional sentences in Hebrew, just like in English.

לוח הזמנים literally means something like the board/chart of the times, but in normal usage it simply means schedule or timetable.

It is a fixed expression in Hebrew:

• לוח = board, chart, table
• זמנים = times

Together, לוח זמנים means schedule. In the sentence, it appears as לוח הזמנים = the schedule.

This is because לוח זמנים is a construct phrase in Hebrew.

In a construct chain:

• the first noun usually does not take ה־
• definiteness is usually marked on the second noun, or understood from the whole phrase

So:

• לוח זמנים = a schedule
• לוח הזמנים = the schedule
• לוח הזמנים שלך = your schedule

Hebrew often handles noun combinations differently from English, and this is a very common pattern.

In Hebrew, possessive words like שלי, שלך, שלו usually come after the noun.

So:

• הספר שלי = my book
• הבית שלך = your house
• לוח הזמנים שלך = your schedule

This is more like saying the schedule of yours in structure, even though the natural English translation is your schedule.

גמיש means flexible. It is in the masculine singular form because it agrees with לוח הזמנים, which is treated as masculine singular.

Hebrew adjectives must agree with the noun in:

• gender
• number
• definiteness

So here:

• לוח הזמנים = masculine singular
• גמיש = masculine singular

If the noun were feminine, the adjective would usually change form.

נוכל means we will be able to or sometimes simply we can, depending on context.

It comes from the root י־כ־ל, which is related to ability.

Here it suggests possibility:

• נוכל להקדים את הפגישה = we can / we’ll be able to move the meeting earlier

In everyday translation, English often just says we can.

The ל־ is the infinitive marker, like to in English.

So:

• להקדים = to move earlier / to advance / to bring forward

After verbs like נוכל (we can / we will be able to), Hebrew often uses the infinitive:

• נוכל להקדים = we can move earlier / we can bring forward

This is very similar to English:

• we can do
• we want to do
• we need to do

Here להקדים means to move something earlier or to bring it forward.

So:

• להקדים את הפגישה = to move the meeting to an earlier time

The verb can have slightly different meanings depending on context, such as:

• to precede
• to do something earlier
• to advance something

But in this sentence, it clearly means reschedule the meeting to an earlier time.

את marks a definite direct object in Hebrew.

Since הפגישה means the meeting and is definite because of ה־, Hebrew uses את before it:

• להקדים את הפגישה = to move the meeting earlier

A very important rule:

• use את before a definite direct object
• do not translate את into English

Examples:

• אני רואה את הספר = I see the book
• אנחנו מקדימים את הפגישה = We are moving the meeting earlier

Not in standard Hebrew, because הפגישה is a definite direct object.

So:

• להקדים את הפגישה = correct
• להקדים הפגישה = not standard

If the object were indefinite, את would usually not appear:

• להקדים פגישה = to move a meeting earlier

הפגישה means the meeting, while פגישה means a meeting.

In this sentence, the speaker is referring to a specific meeting that both people already know about, so Hebrew uses the definite form:

• פגישה = a meeting
• הפגישה = the meeting

This matches the English meaning in context.

Yes, this word order is very natural.

The sentence is structured like this:

• אם לוח הזמנים שלך גמיש = if your schedule is flexible
• נוכל להקדים את הפגישה = we can move the meeting earlier

This is a normal Hebrew conditional sentence:

• condition first
• result second

You could sometimes rearrange parts for emphasis, but this version is standard and natural.

A natural pronunciation would be roughly:

Im luaḥ ha-zmanim shelkha gamish, nukhal lehakdim et ha-pgisha.

A few notes:

• אם = im
• לוח has a throaty ḥ sound at the end
• שלך here is masculine your, so shelkha
• נוכל = nukhal
• הפגישה = ha-pgisha

If speaking to a woman, the written שלך stays the same, but the pronunciation changes:

• masculine: shelkha
• feminine: shelakh

Yes. שלך means your, but in Hebrew it changes in pronunciation depending on whether the person being addressed is male or female.

Written form:

• שלך

Pronunciation:

• to a man: shelkha
• to a woman: shelakh

So the sentence can be addressed to either a man or a woman, but the pronunciation changes.

Yes. Hebrew often uses the same future form for both ideas, and English chooses the most natural translation from context.

So:

• נוכל can mean we can
• or we will be able to

In this sentence, we can move the meeting earlier sounds most natural in English, but the Hebrew form is technically a future-tense form meaning we will be able to.

It is perfectly natural and neutral. It works well in everyday speech, work communication, email, and polite conversation.

It sounds especially appropriate in professional or scheduling contexts because words like:

• לוח הזמנים = schedule
• פגישה = meeting
• להקדים = move earlier / bring forward

are very common in workplace Hebrew.
