This is a good example for when nikkud might come in handy.
The word "נשים" could be read as "nashim" (women), but also as "nasim" ((we) will put).
So this sentence, without context, could mean "we are women" but also "we will put".

[chordata96]

when you Google it you only see women, so thankfully learners like me are unlikely to be confused by that! hahaha.
By the time you discover it can also mean "we will put", you would also know what makes sense in context.

There is a display bug here, as in the other “select the missing word” questions. This one displays as

‎אנחנו‎ [‎נשים‎].‎

when it should be

‏אנחנו [נשים].‏

[Coreyflowers]

I noticed that too. Threw me off

[CalebZeGreat]

Same here, a bit confusing...!

[chordata96]

why נשים instead of ishim?

[Pumbush]

נשים = women

אנשים = men

ishim = no such word

[KnightDelta]

Actually there is - אישים is something like personalities.

אישים מפורסמים - Famous personalities

But in this sentence the answer is נשים, because women is נשים.

[chordata96]

Yeah but why, when woman = isha? Why add the N? Is there a reason?

[AlmogL]

It's just an irregular form, has historical reasons.

[chordata96]

Ok thanks

[Pumbush]

Oh you are right

I would say אנשים is used more as "people" than men

[cpwetterqv]

I thought women would be אישות or something like that ('ishot')...

[Max934722]

What is the explanation for the "n" as the first letter in "nashim"? "Isha", the singular has no "n"!

[devora495746]

Ha ha

I did it correctly and it got marked as incorrect
