The Hebrew word for a room is חדר[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/חדר-שינה-2.m4a” /].

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/חדר-שינה-3.m4a” /]החדר הזה קטן מדי.

This room is too small.

The word for sleep is שינה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/חדר-שינה-4.m4a” /] (to sleep is לישון[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/חדר-שינה-5.m4a” /]). Thus bedroom – literally, room of sleep – is חדר שינה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/חדר-שינה-1.m4a” /] (make sure you click for pronunciation – חדר is pronounced differently here than when it stands alone).

For example:

There’s a bedroom upstairs (above), you (a male) can put your (the) head down there.
