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  listen and repeat – 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  listen and repeat.
