חוזה האחסון מציין את תקופת האחסון ואת דמי האחסון.

A useful breakdown is:

• חוזה האחסון = the storage contract
• מציין = states / specifies / indicates
• את תקופת האחסון = the storage period
• ואת דמי האחסון = and the storage fees

So the structure is:

• Subject: חוזה האחסון
• Verb: מציין
• Direct object 1: את תקופת האחסון
• Direct object 2: ואת דמי האחסון

A natural English translation is something like The storage contract specifies the storage period and the storage fees.

Because Hebrew often uses a construct chain (called סמיכות) where English would often use noun + noun.

So:

• חוזה = contract
• האחסון = the storage

Together, חוזה האחסון literally looks like contract of the storage, but in natural English we usually say the storage contract.

This is very common in Hebrew:

• בית הספר = the school (literally house of the book historically)
• דמי שכירות = rent / rental fees
• תקופת האחסון = the storage period

So the phrase is grammatically normal Hebrew, even if the most natural English translation is less literal.

Because Hebrew often repeats the noun where English might be more willing to leave it implied.

In this sentence, האחסון appears in three different phrases:

• חוזה האחסון = the storage contract
• תקופת האחסון = the storage period
• דמי האחסון = the storage fees

English also allows this repetition, but sometimes English speakers might prefer to avoid repetition stylistically. Hebrew is perfectly comfortable with it here.

Each phrase is a separate unit:

• the contract connected to storage
• the period connected to storage
• the fees connected to storage

So the repetition is not strange or redundant in Hebrew.

Here מציין means states, specifies, or indicates.

The root is צ-י-נ, and in this context it is a present-tense verb in the masculine singular form.

Because the subject is חוזה (contract), which is masculine singular, the verb is also masculine singular:

• חוזה ... מציין = The contract ... specifies

Depending on context, מציין can mean slightly different things, such as:

• notes
• mentions
• indicates
• specifies

In legal or formal language, specifies is often a very good translation.

Because it agrees with the subject חוזה.

• חוזה is a masculine singular noun.
• Therefore the present-tense verb/adjective form is מציין.

Compare:

• החוזה מציין = the contract specifies (masculine singular)
• החברה מציינת = the company specifies (feminine singular)
• החוזים מציינים = the contracts specify (masculine plural)
• החברות מציינות = the companies specify (feminine plural)

So מציין is chosen because חוזה is masculine singular.

את is the Hebrew definite direct object marker.

It does not mean with here.
It marks a direct object that is definite.

So in:

• מציין את תקופת האחסון

the phrase תקופת האחסון is the direct object of מציין, and it is definite: the storage period.

That is why את appears.

A very important point for English speakers: in sentences like this, את usually is not translated into English at all. It is a grammatical marker, not a separate word with meaning in English.

Because the sentence has two definite direct objects, and Hebrew commonly marks each one.

So the structure is:

• מציין את תקופת האחסון
• ואת דמי האחסון

That is completely normal.

In English we say:

• specifies the storage period and the storage fees

But in Hebrew, since both objects are definite, it is natural to repeat את:

• את תקופת האחסון
• ואת דמי האחסון

You may sometimes see variation in other contexts, but here the repeated את is standard and clear.

Because תקופת is the construct form of תקופה.

• תקופה = period
• תקופת האחסון = the period of the storage = the storage period

When a noun enters a construct chain, its form often changes. For many feminine nouns ending in ־ה, the ־ה changes to ־ת in the construct form.

So:

• תקופה → תקופת
• שנה → שנת
• חברה → חברת in some construct expressions

That is why you see תקופת האחסון.

דמי is a very common Hebrew form used in expressions meaning fees / payment for something.

In this sentence:

• דמי האחסון = storage fees / the storage fee

Grammatically, דמי is a construct form, historically related to a plural noun. In modern Hebrew, learners often just memorize דמי + noun as a common pattern meaning:

• fees for ...
• payment for ...

Examples:

• דמי שכירות = rent
• דמי כניסה = entrance fee
• דמי ביטוח = insurance premiums / insurance payments
• דמי האחסון = storage fees

Even though the form is plural-looking, in English it may be translated as either:

• storage fees
• the storage fee

depending on context.

This is a classic feature of the construct chain.

In a construct chain, definiteness often comes from the second noun. So:

• חוזה האחסון means the storage contract
• even though חוזה itself does not have ה־

Similarly:

• תקופת האחסון = the storage period
• דמי האחסון = the storage fees

This can feel strange to English speakers, because English usually marks definiteness with the at the beginning of the whole phrase. In Hebrew construct chains, the definiteness is often shown on the second noun, but it makes the whole phrase definite.

So חוזה האחסון is definite even though the first word is not החוזה.

It could theoretically use a של structure in some contexts, but here חוזה האחסון is much more natural and standard.

Hebrew has two common ways to express possession or association:

1. Construct chain (סמיכות)
   
   • חוזה האחסון
2. של
   • החוזה של האחסון

But the של version here sounds less natural and less idiomatic. In formal and compact expressions like this, Hebrew strongly prefers the construct chain.

So for a phrase like storage contract, חוזה האחסון is the right form to learn.

Yes, it is very normal Hebrew.

The order is:

• Subject: חוזה האחסון
• Verb: מציין
• Object 1: את תקופת האחסון
• Object 2: ואת דמי האחסון

So the pattern is basically:

Subject + Verb + Object + and + Object

This is very straightforward and common in modern Hebrew prose, especially in formal or informational writing.

Hebrew can sometimes use other word orders, but this sentence is standard and easy to process.

A helpful pronunciation guide is:

Kho-zeh ha-ikh-soon me-tsa-yen et te-koo-fat ha-ikh-soon ve-et d'mei ha-ikh-soon.

A slightly more polished transliteration:

Choze ha'ichsun metzayen et tkufat ha'ichsun ve'et d'mei ha'ichsun.

A few notes:

• ח is a throaty sound, like the ch in German Bach or Scottish loch.
• מציין is pronounced roughly metzayen.
• דמי is pronounced roughly d'mei.
• תקופת is often pronounced tkufat, with a reduced first vowel in natural speech.

Yes, it sounds fairly formal and administrative, which fits the subject matter.

Words like:

• חוזה = contract
• מציין = specifies
• תקופת = period
• דמי = fees

all contribute to a formal, contractual tone.

This is exactly the kind of Hebrew you would expect in:

• contracts
• regulations
• official forms
• terms and conditions
• legal or business writing

So if the sentence feels a little more formal than everyday conversation, that is normal.
