how to say “twilight” in Hebrew

 

דִּמְדּוּמִיםבֵּין הָעַרְבַּיִם
 

 

 
That curious time between sunset and nightfall – also technically between dawn and sunrise – is called twilight – between light. Such a time of day causes confusion – is it day or night? Is it light or dark? Can I trust my eyesight while driving?
 
Hebrew’s main term for twilight is דִּמְדּוּמִים    – literally, time of confusion and dim light.
 
For example:
 
שֵׁם הַסֶּרֶט “טְוַויילַייט” תֻּרְגַּם לְ”דִמְדּוּמִים” בְּעִבְרִית.
The name of the movie Twilight was translated as Dimdumim in Hebrew.
 
Another term for twilight used less commonly is בֵּין הָעַרְבַּיִם   .
