Time is the twenty-seventh skill (assuming read left to right) in the language tree for Hebrew. It has ten lessons and teaches vocabulary related to time, including months of the year and days of the week.
Grammar Notes[]
Dual forms[]
Once upon a time, Semitic languages (like Hebrew) had three different numbers: singular, plural, and dual. The dual is mostly not used in Modern Hebrew, with exceptions including body parts that naturally come in twos (such as hands and feet), clothing items that come in pairs (such as pants and shoes), and time expressions referring to two of something.
These time expressions (two days, two years, etc.) use the dual form for two: יים-. This ending is used for both masculine and feminine nouns. Because of this, saying two + a plural form is incorrect for these terms (for example, you say שנתיים and not שתי שנים for "two years").
