בסוף השבוע נחגוג עם המשפחה בבית.

Literally, בסוף השבוע means at the end of the week:

• ב־ = in / at / on
• סוף = end
• השבוע = the week

In everyday Israeli Hebrew, though, בסוף השבוע is very commonly used the way English uses on the weekend or at the weekend.

This is because סוף השבוע is a construct chain: a noun + noun structure meaning something like the end of the week.

In Hebrew construct chains:

• the first noun usually does not take ה־
• the second noun can take ה־
• if the second noun is definite, the whole phrase becomes definite

So:

• סוף שבוע = an end of a week / a weekend in a more general sense
• סוף השבוע = the end of the week / the weekend

This is a very common Hebrew pattern.

נחגוג is the future tense, first person plural form of לחגוג.

That means:

• לחגוג = to celebrate
• נחגוג = we will celebrate

So the subject is already built into the verb. Hebrew often does this, so there is no need to add a separate word for we unless you want extra emphasis.

Because the action is going to happen later.

Hebrew normally uses the future tense for planned or expected future actions, even when English might sometimes say something like we’re celebrating with the family at home this weekend.

So נחגוג is the natural Hebrew way to say we will celebrate in this sentence.

Yes. In Hebrew, לחגוג can be used without naming a direct object.

It can simply mean:

• to celebrate
• to have a celebration
• to celebrate together

So נחגוג עם המשפחה בבית is perfectly normal even though the sentence does not say what is being celebrated.

Because there is no direct object here, you also do not need את.

עם המשפחה means with the family or with our/the family.

The ה־ makes משפחה definite:

• משפחה = a family / family
• המשפחה = the family

In this sentence, the speaker means a specific family, not family in general, so עם המשפחה is the natural choice.

Also, unlike some Hebrew prepositions, עם does not merge with ה־. So you say:

• עם המשפחה
• not a contracted form

Because the preposition ב־ often combines with the definite article ה־.

So:

• הבית = the house
• ב + הבית becomes בבית

In unpointed modern Hebrew writing, the combined form is written without a separate visible ה.

This is the same idea you see in forms like:

• בספר = in the book
• לבית = to the house / home
• כילד = as a child or as the child, depending on context and vowels

Context tells you what is meant.

It can mean either one, depending on context.

Very often, בבית is used the way English says at home. In this sentence, that is probably the most natural understanding.

So עם המשפחה בבית most likely means something like:

• with the family at home
• with the family at the house

Hebrew uses בית very naturally in this kind of sense.

The word order is not completely fixed. Hebrew is more flexible than English.

This sentence begins with the time expression:

• בסוף השבוע = at the weekend / on the weekend

Putting it first sets the scene. But other orders are also possible, for example:

• נחגוג עם המשפחה בבית בסוף השבוע

That would still be understandable. The original version sounds natural because it starts with when the action will happen.

A rough pronunciation is:

be-sof ha-sha-VU-a na-kh-GOG im ha-mish-pa-KHA ba-BA-yit

A few helpful notes:

• ח in נחגוג and משפחה is a throaty sound, like the ch in Scottish loch or German Bach
• שבוע is stressed on the last syllable: sha-VU-a
• משפחה is also stressed at the end: mish-pa-KHA
• בית here sounds like BA-yit

If you say it smoothly, it sounds something like:

be-sof ha-sha-VU-a na-kh-GOG im ha-mish-pa-KHA ba-BA-yit
