Hebrew for Saying “I’ll Let You Know”

If you want to say “I’ll let you know” in Hebrew, the most useful everyday option is:

אעדכן אותך
e'adken otcha / e'adken otach
“I’ll update you” / “I’ll let you know”

This phrase is very common in texting, planning, and casual work messages. In Israel, people often use it when they are still checking something, waiting for confirmation, or not ready to give a final answer yet.

How to use it

Use אעדכן אותך when you want to say that you’ll send an update later.

Examples:

• אעדכן אותך כשאדע.
  I’ll let you know when I know.
• אעדכן אותך בהמשך.
  I’ll let you know later.
• אעדכן אותך מחר.
  I’ll let you know tomorrow.

If you are speaking to a woman, the verb form changes:

• אעדכן אותך = I will let you know / update you, said by a man
• אעדכני אותך = I will let you know / update you, said by a woman

For many learners, the easiest way to remember this is to think of אעדכן as “I’ll update,” and then add אותך (“you”).

A few natural alternatives

Depending on the situation, Hebrew speakers may also say:

• אני אודיע לך
  I’ll let you know
• אני אחזור אליך / אני אחזור אלייך
  I’ll get back to you
• אני אעדכן אותך
  I’ll keep you posted / I’ll let you know

These are all useful, but אעדכן אותך is especially handy in modern texting and planning.

In real-life texting

Here are some short messages you might actually send:

• אני בודק ואעדכן אותך.
  I’m checking and I’ll let you know.
• עוד לא סגור, אעדכן אותך בהמשך.
  It’s not final yet, I’ll update you later.
• אעדכן אותך כשאדבר איתו.
  I’ll let you know when I talk to him.
• אם יהיה שינוי, אעדכן אותך.
  If there’s a change, I’ll let you know.

This is especially useful when you are making plans and don’t want to sound too direct or too final. It gives you time while still sounding polite and responsible.

Good to know for learners in Israel

In Hebrew, people often prefer short, practical messages. Instead of writing a long explanation, a simple אעדכן אותך can sound perfectly natural. It works well in work chats, with friends, and in everyday logistics.

If you also need to say you are learning Hebrew, see Hebrew for Saying You Are Learning Hebrew. If you need a polite way to keep a conversation going in English, Hebrew for Switching to English Politely can help too. And if the other person speaks too fast, Hebrew for Asking People to Speak Slowly is a very useful next step.

Quick takeaway

If you only remember one phrase from this lesson, make it this:

אעדכן אותך = I’ll let you know / I’ll update you

It’s short, natural, and useful in exactly the kind of planning and texting situations you run into every day.
