A Listener from Kansas City asked whether we use AM/PM in Hebrew. Here is the answer.

New Words and Expressions:

4 pm = 16:00

6 pm = 18:00

8 pm = 20:00

Nifgashim be-shesh? – Are we meeting at six? – נפגשים בשש

נפגשים ב6

נפגשים ב-6

נפגשים ב-18:00

Sheva ba-boker – 7 am – שבע בבוקר

Az amarnu be-arba, ken? – So we said at four, right? – אז אמרנו בארבע, כן

Tsohorayim – The hot hours of the day – צוהריים

Daber iti ba-tsohorayim – Talk to me at the early afternoon – דבר איתי בצוהריים

Ahar ha-tsohorayim – Late afternoon – אחר הצוהריים, אחה"צ

Ani er me-arba ba-boker, benadam – I've been up since 4am – אני ער מארבע בבוקר, בנאדם
