Questions & Answers about השכר מגיע בסוף החודש.

Why does השכר start with ה־?

ה־ is the Hebrew definite article, equivalent to the in English. So שכר means pay / wage / salary, while השכר means the pay / the salary.

In this sentence, השכר refers to a specific salary, so Hebrew uses the definite article.

What exactly does שכר mean here? Is it the same as salary?

In this sentence, שכר means pay, wages, or salary, depending on context.

A few useful distinctions:

• שכר = pay, wages, salary; a somewhat broad and often formal term
• משכורת = salary, often specifically a monthly salary
• שכר עבודה = wages / work pay

So in everyday English, the sentence is often understood as the salary arrives at the end of the month, even though the Hebrew word itself is שכר.
