If you go to the שוק[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/פירות-העונה-#.m4a” /] – marketplace – in Israel these days, you’ll find the most delicious oranges – תפוזים[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/פירות-העונה-#.m4a” /] and clementines – קלמנטינות[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/פירות-העונה-#.m4a” /]. These are among פירות העונה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/פירות-העונה-#.m4a” /] – the season’s fruits.

Beyond the citrus, we have:

[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/פירות-העונה-#.m4a” /]תפוחים ותותים שניהם פירות העונה הנוכחית.

Apples and strawberries are both among the current season’s fruits.

פירות[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/פירות-העונה-#.m4a” /] is the plural form of פרי[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/פירות-העונה-#.m4a” /] – fruit.

העונה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/פירות-העונה-#.m4a” /] means the season.

Sometimes פירות is written without the י. Be careful not to read it as פָּרוֹת העונה[audioclip url=”https://archive.ulpan.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/פירות-העונה-#.m4a” /] – that would be the season’s cows.
