Does יכולת definitely mean ability here? I thought the same spelling could be related to you were able.

Yes, here יכולת means the noun ability.

This is a very good question because unpointed Hebrew spelling can be ambiguous. The letters יכולת can represent:

• the noun ability
• or a past-tense form related to the verb to be able

In this sentence, the context makes it clear that יכולת is a noun, because the sentence structure is:

ability + comes + with experience

So the meaning is clearly Ability comes with experience.

Why is the verb באה in the feminine form?

Because יכולת is a feminine singular noun, and the verb agrees with it.

• בא = masculine singular
• באה = feminine singular

So Hebrew is matching the verb to the subject:

• יכולת באה = ability comes

This kind of agreement is very normal in Hebrew.
