how to say “at the time” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger

בִּזְמַנּוֹ

The basic Hebrew word for time is זמן
, though when asking someone what time is it? you’ll say literally, what’s the hour – מה השעה
,?

At the time is בזמנו
,.

For example:

,היום אנחנו גרים בעיר, אבל בזמנו גרנו במושב.

Today we live in the city, but at the time, we lived on a moshav (agricultural settlement).

בזמנו means literally at its time.
