how to say “hopes and dreams” in Hebrew

 

תִּקְוֹת וַחֲלוֹמוֹת

 

 
Sunshine after a rainy season, for some, brings renewed energy. It’s a time of the budding of hopes and dreams… and sometimes their fulfillment too.
 
Hope in Hebrew is תִּקְוָה listen and repeat, which you may recognize from the name of Israel’s national anthem, הַתִּקְוָה listen and repeat – literally, The Hope.
 
A dream is a חֲלוֹם listen and repeat. It’s one of those masculine nouns that has a feminine ending in the plural: חֲלוֹמוֹת listen and repeat are dreams.
 
The English expression hopes and dreams translates into Hebrew literally: תִּקְוֹת וַחֲלוֹמוֹת listen and repeat.
 
The Hebrew changes, however, in context:
 
כָּל תִּקְוֹתֵנוּ וַחֲלוֹמוֹתֵנוּ הָיוּ עִם הָאִישׁ הַהוּא.
All our hopes and dreams were with that man.
