Hebrew changes by who's talking and who they're talking to. Here's exactly how this one works.
You just got surprise tickets for tonight and want to check whether the person you are seeing can actually make it.
How it's said
Texting a man
Texting a woman
אתה פנוי הערב?ata panui ha'erev?
את פנויה הערב?at pnuya ha'erev?
This phrase doesn't change based on who's sending it. Only who you're texting to changes the Hebrew here: the speaker's gender never appears in this sentence.
Why this matters
The second-person pronoun ata/at and the adjective panui/pnuya both agree with the addressee's gender; there is no first-person content for the speaker's gender to act on.
