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   . 
 
But you may not know that there’s a special word for the day after tomorrow: מָחֳרָתַיִם   .
 
For example:
 
מָחֳרָתַיִם כְּבָר פּוּרִים!
Two days from now is already Purim!
 
 
The word takes מָחֳרַת    – the day after – and adds the יים-    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    – glasses, and כְּתֵפַיִם    – shoulders.
