עֲלֵה זַ֖יִת טָרָ֣ף בְּפִ֑יהָ
leaf_of olive freshly_plucked in/on/at/with,beak,its
An olive tree produces small, oval, green fruit that has a hard pit. Olives are used for food and as a source of cooking oil. If olive trees are unknown in your language area, you could include a footnote about them. Alternate translation: “it was holding a newly picked green leaf from an olive tree in its mouth” or “the dove had a green leaf in its mouth that it had just picked from an olive tree.”
וַיֵּ֣דַע נֹ֔חַ
and=he/it_knew Noaḩ
Alternate translation: “Then Noah realized” or “That is how he knew”
כִּי & הַמַּ֖יִם

Alternate translation: “that the floodwaters”
קַ֥לּוּ
subsided
See how you translated subsided in verse 8, and how you translated three other Hebrew words with similar meanings In verses 1, 3, and 5. Alternate translation: “had receded” or “had gone down more”
מֵעַ֥ל הָאָֽרֶץ
from=under the=earth/land
See how you translated this phrase in verse 7. Alternate translation: “from the ground”
8:11 Unlike the raven (8:7), the dove feeds on vegetation. Since olive trees are not tall, Noah could tell that the water was almost gone.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
