How to Say I Miss You in Hebrew (All 4 Ways)

Hebrew changes by who's talking and who they're talking to. Here's exactly how this one works.

You have been apart from your Israeli partner for a week and want to send something short that lands with real warmth.

How it's said

You're a man	אני מתגעגע אליךani mitga'age'a elecha	אני מתגעגע אלייךani mitga'age'a elayich
You're a woman	אני מתגעגעת אליךani mitga'aga'at elecha	אני מתגעגעת אלייךani mitga'aga'at elayich

Texting a woman

You're a man

אני מתגעגע אליךani mitga'age'a elecha

אני מתגעגע אלייךani mitga'age'a elayich

You're a woman

אני מתגעגעת אליךani mitga'aga'at elecha

אני מתגעגעת אלייךani mitga'aga'at elayich

The extra yod in the feminine forms (אני מתגעגע אלייך, אני מתגעגעת אלייך) is the standard written form, the one worth learning, even though fast informal texting sometimes drops it to a single yod.

Why this matters

Hitpael verb mitga'age'a agrees with speaker gender, and the preposition el takes a second-person suffix spelled differently for a male addressee (אליך) and a female addressee (אלייך), so all four written forms are distinct.
