The word כלי[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/כלי-בית-#.m4a” /] means tool or vessel, something we use to accomplish a task. כלִי נגינה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/כלי-בית-#.m4a” /] is a musical instrument, a tool (well, instrument) we use to play music. Multiple such instruments are כלֵי נגינה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/כלי-בית-#.m4a” /].
Housewares – those small “tools” we use in the household, such as tableware and decorative candles – are כלֵי בית[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/כלי-בית-#.m4a” /], tools of (the) house.
For example:
