[ARCHIVE] Verb gender agreement and conjugation?

Post by Corinnebelle »

HikingHeather wrote:

In a sentence like
אני רואה משאית

Is the verb pronunciation for masculine/feminine based on the person that is seeing it, or based on the noun truck being feminine?

If אני is female, is it ro'ah?

And if אני is male, is it ro'eh?

Or is it based on משאית being a feminine noun so it is ro'ah because of that?

I'm assuming this is conjugated from some infinitive form of "to see"? Is verb conjugation in hebrew then also based on gender? Is there a difference between I (fem) see, you (fem) see, and she sees? Or do all of these conjugate to ro'ah, and you have to use the correct pronoun אני, את, היא in order to specify who is seeing?

I hope this made sense. Thank you.
