המגרש עדיין רטוב.

In Hebrew, the verb to be is usually not stated in the present tense.

So:

• המגרש עדיין רטוב literally looks like
• the field/court still wet

but it means:

• The field/court is still wet

This is completely normal Hebrew. In the past or future, Hebrew does use forms of to be when needed, but in the present tense it is often omitted.

The prefix ה־ is the Hebrew definite article, meaning the.

So:

• מגרש = field / court / lot
• המגרש = the field / the court / the lot

It is attached directly to the noun, unlike English, where the is a separate word.

מגרש can mean several related things depending on context, such as:

• a field
• a sports court
• a lot / plot of land
• sometimes even a yard-like open area

So the sentence could mean things like:

• The field is still wet
• The court is still wet
• The lot is still wet

The exact meaning depends on the situation. If people are talking about soccer, it may be the field. If they are talking about basketball or tennis, it may be the court.

עדיין means still.

In this sentence:

• המגרש עדיין רטוב = The field is still wet

It comes between the subject and the adjective, which is very natural in Hebrew.

You may also see עדיין in other sentences, for example:

• אני עדיין עובד = I am still working
• היא עדיין כאן = She is still here

So עדיין is a very useful word for expressing that a situation continues.

Because מגרש is a masculine singular noun, and adjectives in Hebrew usually agree with the noun in gender and number.

Here:

• מגרש = masculine singular
• רטוב = masculine singular adjective

If the noun were feminine singular, you would usually use רטובה.

For example:

• החולצה רטובה = The shirt is wet
  because חולצה is feminine

And with masculine:

• הכביש רטוב = The road is wet

So רטוב matches המגרש correctly.

Hebrew often uses a structure like:

• noun + adjective or
• noun + adverb + adjective

So here:

• המגרש = the subject
• עדיין = adverb
• רטוב = adjective describing the subject

This gives:

• המגרש עדיין רטוב

The adjective does not come before the noun the way it usually does in English. In Hebrew, adjectives normally come after the noun they describe.

Compare:

• מגרש רטוב = a wet field/court literally field wet

So the order is very Hebrew-like, even though it feels backward from an English perspective.

It is pronounced approximately ha-mig-rash.

A few helpful notes:

• ה at the beginning is ha- = the
• מגרש is usually pronounced migrash
• the stress is typically on the last syllable: mi-GRASH

So the full sentence is approximately:

• ha-mi-GRASH a-DA-yin ra-TUV

That is only an approximation in English spelling, but it can help with reading aloud.

Yes, in some contexts עדיין can relate to the idea of still or yet, but in this sentence still is the best translation.

For example:

• הוא עדיין לא הגיע = He still hasn’t arrived / He hasn’t arrived yet

So the exact English wording depends on the sentence. Here, because רטוב is a continuing condition, still wet is the most natural translation.

Sometimes Hebrew allows flexible word order, but המגרש עדיין רטוב is the most neutral and natural order.

If you move things around, the sentence may sound:

• more emphatic
• less common
• more literary
• or just slightly awkward depending on context

For a learner, the safest pattern is:

• subject + עדיין + adjective

So this sentence is a very good model to remember.

Usually רטוב means wet.

It often suggests clearly noticeable wetness, such as:

• wet ground
• wet clothes
• wet hair

If you want to say something more like damp or moist, Hebrew may use other words depending on context, but רטוב is the standard everyday word for wet.

So in this sentence, the idea is that the field/court/ground has not dried yet.

Yes. It is a completely normal and complete Hebrew sentence.

Hebrew often forms present-tense descriptive sentences with just:

• a subject
• and a describing word

So:

• המגרש רטוב = The field is wet
• המגרש עדיין רטוב = The field is still wet

Even without an explicit word for is, it is fully grammatical and natural.
