Question about "כל" and "-כל ה"?

Question

Hi! I'm just a little bit confused on this... which one would I use to say "I study every Wednesday" and which one would I use to say "I study ALL Wednesday" (as in the entirety of the day)? Thanks!!

Answer 1

Hi there,

"I study every Wednesday" -אני לומד כל יום רביעי

"I study ALL Wednesday"- (אני לומד כל היום (של יום רביעי

I hope now you see the difference.

Answer 2

Good question, there are a few possibilities for a way to say "all day Wednesday" And yes, you are correct that כל יום רביעי means "every Wednesday" not "all Wednesday". Here are a few options:

כל היום ביום רביעי

(all day on Wednesday) You can also rearrange this like below.

ביום רביעי, כל היום

(on Wednesday, all day)

יום רביעי שלם

(a full/complete Wednesday)
