שלשום היא אמרה שהשלט לא עובד, אבל כרגע הכול בסדר.

שלשום means the day before yesterday. It is a normal, everyday Hebrew word.

A useful mini-set is:

• שלשום = the day before yesterday
• אתמול = yesterday
• היום = today
• מחר = tomorrow
• מחרתיים = the day after tomorrow

Its usual pronunciation is shil-SHOM.

Because היא means she, and Hebrew past-tense verbs agree with the subject.

• אמר = he said
• אמרה = she said

So:

• הוא אמר = he said
• היא אמרה = she said

The ־ה ending in אמרה marks feminine singular in the past tense.

The prefix ש־ means that.

So:

• היא אמרה שהשלט לא עובד = she said that the remote is not working

In Hebrew, this ש־ is often attached directly to the next word, instead of being written as a separate word.

Very common examples:

• אני חושב שזה נכון = I think that it is correct
• הוא אמר שהוא עייף = he said that he is tired

Because it is made of two parts:

• ש־ = that
• השלט = the remote / the sign / the controller

So:

• שהשלט = that + the remote

Nothing is being dropped here. Hebrew simply combines them into one written word.

Yes. שלט can mean different things depending on context, including:

• sign
• remote control
• sometimes control panel or similar ideas

In this sentence, it means remote control because of the context: it is not working.

So השלט לא עובד most naturally means the remote isn’t working.

Hebrew uses עובד both for a person working and for a machine or device working / functioning.

So:

• אני עובד = I work / I am working
• המחשב עובד = the computer works / is working
• השלט עובד = the remote works / is working

This is very normal Hebrew.

Also, עובד agrees with השלט, which is masculine singular. Compare:

• השלט עובד = the remote works
• המכונה עובדת = the machine works

This is a very common point for English speakers.

Hebrew does not always do the same tense backshift that English often does after verbs like said.

So Hebrew can say:

• היא אמרה שהשלט לא עובד

Even though natural English might be:

• she said the remote wasn’t working

In Hebrew, the present tense inside the reported clause often reflects the original situation or statement more directly.

Very roughly:

• אמרה שהשלט לא עובד = she said that the remote isn’t working / wasn’t working
• אמרה שהשלט לא עבד = she said that the remote didn’t work / wasn’t working, with a clearer past framing

Both can exist, but לא עובד is very natural in reported speech.

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

So Hebrew says:

• הוא עייף = he is tired
• הכול בסדר = everything is fine
• השלט לא עובד = the remote is not working

But in the past or future, Hebrew does use forms of to be:

• הכול היה בסדר = everything was fine
• הכול יהיה בסדר = everything will be fine

So the missing is is completely normal.

כרגע means at the moment, currently, or right now.

It is similar to עכשיו, but often feels a little more like currently / at this moment.

So:

• עכשיו = now
• כרגע = right now / at the moment / currently

In this sentence, כרגע creates a clear contrast with שלשום:

• שלשום = two days ago
• כרגע = right now

That contrast is an important part of the sentence.

This is an important distinction.

• כל means every or all before a noun
• הכול means everything

Examples:

• כל הילדים בבית = all the children are at home
• הכול בסדר = everything is fine

So in this sentence, הכול is correct because it stands by itself and means everything.

You may also see הכל spelled without the ו. Both spellings are common, and both mean the same thing.

בסדר literally means something like in order, but in everyday Hebrew it very often means:

• okay
• fine
• all right

So:

• הכול בסדר = everything is fine / everything is okay

It is one of the most common expressions in spoken Hebrew.

You will also hear:

• אני בסדר = I’m okay
• זה בסדר = it’s okay / that’s fine
• בסדר גמור = completely fine / perfectly okay

Hebrew word order is fairly flexible, especially with time expressions.

So both of these are possible:

• שלשום היא אמרה שהשלט לא עובד
• היא אמרה שלשום שהשלט לא עובד

The version with שלשום first puts the time frame up front. It sounds natural, and it helps set up the later contrast with כרגע.

So the sentence as written has a nice structure:

• שלשום = then
• כרגע = now

A natural pronunciation would be roughly:

shil-SHOM hi am-RA she-ha-sha-LAT lo o-VED, a-VAL ka-RE-ga ha-KOL be-SE-der

A few notes:

• שלשום = shil-SHOM
• אמרה = am-RA
• שהשלט = she-ha-sha-LAT
• עובד = o-VED
• כרגע = ka-RE-ga
• הכול = ha-KOL
• בסדר = be-SE-der

The main sentence stress often falls naturally on words like שלשום, עובד, כרגע, and בסדר, depending on emphasis.
