how to say “yearly” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger

The Hebrew word for year is שנה
, which ends in the letter ה
. Since the letter ה turns into a ת
when a word ending with it gets expanded, the word for yearly or annual is שנתי
.

For example:

השבוע הכיתה שלי יוצאת לטיול שנתי בצפון.

This week my grade is going on a yearly trip to the north.

More about טיול שנתי
