מה התאריך היום, ובאיזה תאריך אנחנו אמורים לחתום על החוזה?

A common pronunciation guide is:

Ma ha-ta'arikh ha-yom, uve'eize ta'arikh anakhnu amurim lakhtom al ha-khoze?

A few notes:

• תאריך = ta'arikh or sometimes ta'arich, depending on accent
• ובאיזה is pronounced uve'eize because it is made of ו + ב + איזה
• אמורים = amurim
• לחתום = lakhtom
• החוזה = ha-khoze

Literally, it means What is the date today?

Word by word:

• מה = what
• התאריך = the date
• היום = today

So Hebrew is using a structure very close to What [is] the date today?
Like in many Hebrew present-tense sentences, the verb is is not stated.

In Hebrew, the verb to be is usually omitted in the present tense.

So:

• מה התאריך היום? = What is the date today?
• literally: What the date today?

This is completely normal Hebrew grammar.
If you translate too literally into English, it sounds incomplete, but in Hebrew it is correct.

They are related, but not the same.

• יום means day or sometimes today, depending on context
• תאריך means date

So:

• מה היום? can mean What day is it today? or What’s today?
• מה התאריך היום? specifically asks for the calendar date

For example, if you want April 6th, you use תאריך.

ובאיזה is made of three parts:

• ו = and
• ב = in / on / at
• איזה = which

So ובאיזה means and on which... or more naturally here, and on what...

In this sentence:

• ובאיזה תאריך = and on what date

Hebrew often attaches short prepositions and conjunctions directly to the next word, so instead of writing them separately, they appear as one word.

The prefix ב־ here gives the meaning on or in.

So:

• איזה תאריך? = which date?
• באיזה תאריך? = on which date?

In English, we usually say on what date, and Hebrew expresses that with ב־.

אנחנו אמורים means something like:

• we are supposed to
• we are expected to
• we are meant to

So:

• אנחנו אמורים לחתום = we are supposed to sign

Literally, אמורים comes from a word meaning something like said / meant / intended, but in modern Hebrew this pattern is very commonly used to express obligation or expectation.

Because it agrees with אנחנו in the default masculine plural form.

• אמור = masculine singular
• אמורה = feminine singular
• אמורים = masculine plural / mixed-gender plural
• אמורות = feminine plural

Since אנחנו can mean we for a group of men or a mixed group, אמורים is the normal form.

If the speakers were all female, you could say:

• אנחנו אמורות לחתום

After אמור / אמורים / אמורה / אמורות, Hebrew normally uses an infinitive with ל־.

So:

• אמורים לחתום = supposed to sign
• literally: supposed to-sign

This is similar to English structures like:

• supposed to sign
• need to sign
• want to sign

The infinitive form of חתם is לחתום.

Literally, it means to sign on the contract.

Parts:

• לחתום = to sign
• על = on
• החוזה = the contract

Hebrew uses לחתום על for to sign a document/contract.
Even though English usually says sign the contract, Hebrew prefers sign on the contract with על.

So:

• לחתום על החוזה = to sign the contract

This is just the normal Hebrew pattern.

Because it means the contract, not just a contract.

• חוזה = contract
• החוזה = the contract

The ה־ is the definite article, equivalent to English the.

In this sentence, the speakers likely mean a specific contract that both sides already know about, so החוזה is natural.

Because the two parts ask two different but related things:

1. מה התאריך היום = What is today’s date?
2. ובאיזה תאריך אנחנו אמורים לחתום על החוזה = And on what date are we supposed to sign the contract?

Hebrew often repeats the noun where English might also repeat it, especially for clarity.
You could think of it as keeping the question explicit and easy to follow.

Yes, absolutely.

• מתי = when
• באיזה תאריך = on what date

The difference is:

• מתי is more general: when?
• באיזה תאריך specifically asks for a date

So if you want the exact calendar date, באיזה תאריך is more precise.

Yes, it is very natural Hebrew.

The sentence is:

• מה התאריך היום
• ובאיזה תאריך אנחנו אמורים לחתום על החוזה

Hebrew word order is often flexible, but this order sounds standard and conversational.
The question word comes first:

• מה...
• באיזה...

Then the rest follows naturally.

Sometimes Hebrew does drop subject pronouns, but here אנחנו sounds natural and clear.

You may hear:

• באיזה תאריך אמורים לחתום על החוזה?

But that can sound more impersonal, like On what date is it supposed to be signed? or are we supposed to sign?, depending on context.

Keeping אנחנו makes it clearly mean we are supposed to sign.

It sounds neutral and practical.

It could be used in situations like:

• discussing paperwork
• checking a schedule
• confirming a legal or business appointment

The phrase אמורים לחתום gives a sense of a planned or expected action, not a very casual one.
So the whole sentence feels organized, matter-of-fact, and slightly formal.
