Questions & Answers about הערב אנחנו צופים בקומדיה בבית, כי אנחנו עייפים מאוד.

What does הערב mean here? Is it the evening or tonight?

Here it means this evening / tonight.

Although הערב literally looks like the evening, Hebrew often uses it as a time expression, just like English can say Tonight we’re staying home. Compare:

• הערב = tonight / this evening
• בערב = in the evening more generally

So in this sentence, הערב sets the time: tonight.

Why does the sentence start with הערב?

Hebrew word order is fairly flexible, and it is very common to put a time expression first.

Starting with הערב is like saying:

• Tonight, we’re watching a comedy at home...

It helps frame the whole sentence before giving the action. This is very natural in Hebrew.

Why is צופים used for we are watching?
