how to say “topic” or “subject” in Hebrew

 

נוֹשֵׂא

 

 
The Hebrew root נ.שׂ.א (n.s.a) means lifting up. Thus a topic or a subject – something raised for discussion – is a נוֹשֵׂא listen and repeat.
 
For example:
 
אֲנִי צָרִיךְ לְדַבֵּר אִתָּךְ עַל נוֹשֵׂא חָשׁוּב.
I need to speak with you (a female) about an important topic.
 
The word נושא also means subject in the grammatical sense, as in:
 
בְּכָל מִשְׁפָּט בְּעִבְרִית יֵשׁ נוֹשֵׂא וְנָשׂוּא.
In every sentence in Hebrew there is a subject and a predicate.
