בלילה קשה לי להירדם כשיש הרבה רוח ורעש בחוץ.

בלילה means at night / during the night.

It is made of:

• ב־ = in / at
• לילה = night

So literally it is in the night, but in natural English the best translation here is usually at night.

Putting בלילה first sets the time frame for the whole sentence: At night, it’s hard for me to fall asleep...

Hebrew often puts time expressions near the beginning of the sentence.

קשה לי is a very common Hebrew structure meaning it is hard for me.

Literally:

• קשה = hard / difficult
• לי = to me / for me

So קשה לי להירדם is literally something like It is hard for me to fall asleep.

This is a very natural Hebrew pattern:

• קשה לי להבין = It’s hard for me to understand
• קל לי לזכור = It’s easy for me to remember

You can say things with a verb like אני מתקשה..., but קשה לי... is extremely common and often sounds simpler and more natural in everyday speech.

להירדם means to fall asleep, not just to sleep.

That is an important difference:

• לישון = to sleep
• להירדם = to fall asleep

So:

• קשה לי לישון = It’s hard for me to sleep
• קשה לי להירדם = It’s hard for me to fall asleep

In this sentence, the meaning is specifically about the moment of getting to sleep, not sleeping in general.

The ל־ is the normal infinitive marker in Hebrew, similar to English to in to fall asleep.

So:

• להירדם = to fall asleep
• לישון = to sleep
• להבין = to understand

After expressions like קשה לי, Hebrew usually uses an infinitive:

• קשה לי לקרוא = It’s hard for me to read
• קשה לי להתרכז = It’s hard for me to concentrate

כשיש means when there is / when there are.

It is made of:

• כש־ = when
• יש = there is / there are

So:

• כשיש הרבה רוח = when there is a lot of wind
• כשיש רעש = when there is noise

This is a very common Hebrew pattern.

You may also see כאשר יש, which is more formal.
In everyday Hebrew, כשיש is very natural.

יש is the Hebrew word used for existence: there is / there are.

In this sentence:

• יש הרבה רוח ורעש בחוץ = there is a lot of wind and noise outside

Hebrew does not need a separate word like English there in this structure.
So instead of saying something literally like there is, Hebrew simply says יש.

Examples:

• יש זמן = There is time
• יש בעיה = There is a problem
• יש אנשים בחוץ = There are people outside

Because רוח and רעש are being treated here as general, uncountable things: a lot of wind and noise.

הרבה is very commonly used for a lot of / much / many in everyday Hebrew.

So:

• הרבה רוח = a lot of wind
• הרבה רעש = a lot of noise

In this sentence, הרבה naturally covers both nouns: הרבה רוח ורעש = a lot of wind and noise

A more literal plural wording like רוחות ורעשים רבים would sound more formal or would suggest separate individual winds/noises, which is not the natural idea here.

Because the sentence is speaking generally, not about specific wind or specific noise.

Compare:

• יש הרבה רוח ורעש בחוץ = there is a lot of wind and noise outside
• הרוח והרעש בחוץ מפריעים לי = the wind and the noise outside bother me

In the original sentence, the speaker means wind/noise in general conditions outside, so no definite article is needed.

בחוץ means outside.

It is made of:

• ב־ = in / at
• חוץ = outside / the outdoors

So literally it is something like outside or outdoors.

In this sentence:

• רוח ורעש בחוץ = wind and noise outside

It tells you where the wind and noise are coming from.

Hebrew often places location expressions like בחוץ toward the end, especially after the things being described.

So:

• כשיש הרבה רוח ורעש בחוץ
  literally: when there is a lot of wind and noise outside

This word order is natural in Hebrew.
English and Hebrew often line up well here, but Hebrew is somewhat flexible.

You could sometimes move parts around for emphasis, but the original order is very normal and neutral.

Yes, this is an impersonal construction.

Hebrew often uses קשה לי + infinitive without naming a clear subject like English sometimes does. The idea is:

• קשה לי להירדם = It is hard for me to fall asleep

The it in English is just a grammatical placeholder. Hebrew does not need an equivalent word here.

So nothing specific is hard as a noun; the action itself—falling asleep—is what is difficult.

Yes. A comma after בלילה is possible in writing, especially if you want to mark a pause:

• בלילה, קשה לי להירדם כשיש הרבה רוח ורעש בחוץ.

Without the comma is also completely normal:

• בלילה קשה לי להירדם כשיש הרבה רוח ורעש בחוץ.

In everyday Hebrew writing, punctuation around short opening time expressions can be somewhat flexible.

A natural pronunciation would be roughly:

ba-LAI-la ka-SHE li le-hi-ra-DEM kshe-YESH har-BE ru-aKH ve-RA-ash ba-KHUTZ

A few helpful notes:

• בלילה stresses the middle: ba-LAI-la
• קשה stresses the second syllable: ka-SHE
• להירדם stresses the last syllable: le-hi-ra-DEM
• כשיש is usually pronounced smoothly together: kshe-YESH
• רוח is often two syllables: ru-aKH
• בחוץ stresses the end: ba-KHUTZ

The ח sound in רוח and בחוץ is the throaty Hebrew kh sound, not an English h.

Yes.

You could say: בלילה קשה לי להירדם כאשר יש הרבה רוח ורעש בחוץ.

That means the same thing, but:

• כש is more common in everyday speech
• כאשר is more formal or literary

So for normal spoken Hebrew, the original כשיש is the more natural choice.

Normally, בלילה here suggests at night in a general sense, especially because the sentence sounds like a habitual statement:

At night, it’s hard for me to fall asleep when there’s a lot of wind and noise outside.

If the speaker wanted to emphasize one specific night, Hebrew would usually make that clearer from context or by adding something more specific, such as:

• הלילה = tonight
• בלילה הזה = on this night / that night

So in the original sentence, the default reading is a general one.
