Questions & Answers about בבוקר הכנתי ארוחת בוקר עם ביצים, גבינה ועגבניות.
בבוקר means in the morning.
It is made of:
- ב־ = in
- בוקר = morning
So literally it is in morning, but in natural English we say in the morning.
Starting the sentence with a time expression is very common in Hebrew. It gives the setting first:
- בבוקר הכנתי... = In the morning, I prepared...
You could also say the time later in the sentence, but putting it first sounds very natural.
They use the same noun, בוקר (morning), but in two different structures.
בבוקר = in the morning
Here בוקר is part of a prepositional phrase with ב־ (in).ארוחת בוקר = breakfast
Literally, this is a morning meal.
So:
- בבוקר answers when?
- ארוחת בוקר names what meal?
This is very similar to English, where morning can appear in different roles:
- in the morning
- morning meal
