I'm confused I thought "תהנה" was the female form of "have fun".
Do "תהנה" and "תהני" have exactly the same meaning? Usually the "י" form of a word is first person singular.
you (male singular version): תהנה you (female singular version): תהני they have same meaning. don't worry, it's future tense, you will practise it more later.
This is bugging me, why did they choose Tal? Wikipedia in past 100 years the ratio of even famous Tal is heavily male... Based on popular usage, it is 1.616 times more common for Tal to be a boy's name. It's like Dylan, for every girl with the name there's many guys, why would they choose a name like this in a gendered language?! Instead of Rachel or Leah, etc It's like making everyone Pat and Terry... Or 100 years ago Lindsay, Tracey, Ethel....gah!
Tal is, like many others, a Unisex name in Israel. They shouldn't have chosen it here, as it can really drive beginners mad!
That's funny because I've only ever known girls named Tal. Maybe theres more famous male Tal's but irl I don't think its the same as Dylan in english. Theres a ton of unisex hebrew names so I guess they want you to get used to that maybe?
I've only known Tal for men, Tali, Thalia or Talia for women. I've never heard this word I thought it was כיף +
I just put in תהנה, טל and it was accepted as the correct response. I didn't have תהני as an option or I would have chosen that. Seems like for this question at least, they are accepting masculine or feminine as correct.
