ma ktovtekha / ma ktovtekh


Explanation:
This is a more concise way of saying it (Israelis tend to be concise, and Hebrew is a very compact, agglutinating language). The word 'hee' (is, in the feminine) is already implied by the words 'ma' (what) and 'ktovet' (address, f. noun).

ktovtekha = your address, where 'your' is m. sing.
ktovtekh = ditto, f. sing.
ktov'tkhem = m. plural
ktov'tkhen = f. pl.

In that order, the sentences are
מה כתובתך
מה כתובתך
מה כתובתכם
מה כתובתכן
