How do you say
to count
in Hebrew? Two options: לספור
and למנות
, both
simple verbs
, the first of the root ס.פ.ר
, and the second, מ.נ.י
.
לספור is the everyday word, as in:
אני סופר את הימים עד החופשה!
I’m counting the days until my (the) vacation!
למנות is used in more formal contexts, as well as in its gerund form, מונה
–

For example, a taxi driver might ask you:
מונה או מחיר?
Meter or price? (Counter or fixed price?)
Taxi –
מונית
– also comes from the same root מ.נ.י.
