A qualified solution

An original Modern Hebrew exercise supplies זה פתרון טוב, אבל הוא לא מתאים לכולם. One learner summarizes it as saying the solution works for everyone; another says the speaker rejects it as completely useless. Both summaries remove the actual balance between a favorable judgment and a qualification. The task requires the learner to preserve each clause and explain the relationship expressed by אבל. No official prescribed article, author or current policy is attributed to this short sentence. It can be used as preparation for comparing views, but it does not provide the evidence needed to decide which real-world solution is best. Recognition should lead to independent Hebrew paraphrasing and a clear distinction between the source’s claim and the learner’s separate evaluation.

1. What balanced claim is expressed?

Read the worked answer

It is a good solution, but it does not suit everyone. The positive judgment and limitation must both remain in the summary.

2. What does אבל contribute?

Read the worked answer

It introduces a contrast or qualification. It does not reverse the first clause into a claim that the solution has no value.
