Now, you may have looked at the title of this post and said, “I know how to say just a few months in Hebrew – it’s רק כמה חודשים”[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/חודשים-ספורים-#.m4a” /].
You would be right. But there’s a slightly more formal expression that you’re very likely to hear in the media: חודשים-ספורים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/חודשים-ספורים-#.m4a” /] – literally, counted months.
For example:

Again there will elections within just a few months.
You could say just a few anything by adding ספורים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/חודשים-ספורים-#.m4a” /] (or ספורות[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/חודשים-ספורים-#.m4a” /] if what you’re talking about is grammatically feminine).
