While in English we refer to certain times, such as Israel time (currently GMT+2) and daylight savings time, in Hebrew we refer to these using the word שעון[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/שעון-קיץ-2.m4a” /] – clock, so that we have:

שעון ישראל[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/שעון-קיץ-3.m4a” /]

Israel time

and

שעון קיץ[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/שעון-קיץ-4.m4a” /]

summer time (daylight-savings time)

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/שעון-קיץ-5.m4a” /]עכשיו רק שלוש לפנות בוקר לפי שעון הודו.

Now it’s only 3am (according to) Indian time.

Likewise, standard time or winter time is שעון חורף[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/שעון-קיץ-6.m4a” /].

For example:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/שעון-קיץ-7.m4a” /]בישראל, כבר הזזנו את השעון לשעון חורף.

In Israel, we already moved the clock to standard time (winter time).

Time zone, however, is אזור זמן[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/שעון-קיץ-8.m4a” /] – literally, area of time.
