how to say “two days from now” in Hebrew

 

מָחֳרָתַיִם

 

 
If you’ve got some basic Hebrew, you know that the word for tomorrow is מָחָר  listen and repeat
 
But you may not know that there’s a special word for the day after tomorrow: מָחֳרָתַיִם  listen and repeat.
 
For example:
 
מָחֳרָתַיִם כְּבָר פּוּרִים!
Two days from now is already Purim!
 
The word takes מָחֳרַת  listen and repeat the day after – and adds the יים-  listen  ending, which doubles the word, making it the day after tomorrow or two days from now.
 
That יים- ending also appears on other words that come in double, such as מִשְׁקָפַיִם  listen and repeat glasses, and כְּתֵפַיִם  listen and repeat – shoulders.
