הוא נוחר בלילה, ולכן לפעמים היא עוברת לישון בחדר השני.

They agree with the subject in gender and number.

• הוא נוחר = he snores
  • נוחר is masculine singular, matching הוא
• היא עוברת = she moves/goes over
  • עוברת is feminine singular, matching היא

In Hebrew present tense, verbs behave a lot like adjectives in that they change form for masculine/feminine and singular/plural.

It is in the present tense.

• הוא נוחר = he snores / he is snoring
• היא עוברת = she moves / she goes over

In this sentence, the present tense is being used for a habitual action, so in natural English it means something like:

• He snores at night, so sometimes she goes to sleep in the other room.

Hebrew present tense can cover both:

• simple present: he snores
• present progressive: he is snoring

Context tells you which one is meant.

The ב־ prefix means in, at, or during, depending on context.

So:

• לילה = night
• בלילה = at night / during the night

This is very common in Hebrew. Prepositions are often attached directly to the word:

• בבית = in the house
• בלילה = at night
• בחדר = in a room / in the room depending on context

ולכן means and therefore, and so, or therefore.

It is made of:

• ו־ = and
• לכן = therefore / that’s why

So the sentence structure is:

• He snores at night, and therefore / so sometimes she...

It connects the first clause to the result in the second clause.

Compared with some similar words:

• אז = so / then (often more conversational)
• לכן = therefore / that’s why (a bit more explicit)
• בגלל זה = because of that / because of this

לפעמים means sometimes.

Hebrew word order is fairly flexible, so this adverb can appear in different places. Here:

• ולכן לפעמים היא עוברת... = and therefore sometimes she moves/goes...

This placement sounds natural and clear. You could also hear:

• ולכן היא לפעמים עוברת לישון...

But the original sentence is very normal Hebrew.

Literally, עוברת לישון is something like:

• she passes/moves over to sleep

In natural English, here it means:

• she goes to sleep
• she moves to sleep
• she goes to sleep in the other room

The infinitive לישון means to sleep.

Hebrew often uses a verb plus an infinitive:

• הולך לאכול = goes to eat
• יושבת ללמוד = sits down to study
• עוברת לישון = moves/goes over to sleep

In this sentence, עוברת suggests changing place or moving over from one room to another.

Both could work in some contexts, but they are not exactly the same.

• הולכת לישון usually means goes to sleep
• עוברת לישון בחדר השני gives more of the idea that she moves over to another room in order to sleep there

Because the sentence already mentions בחדר השני, עוברת fits nicely: she is not just going to sleep; she is switching rooms.

So the choice of עוברת helps express that change of place.

בחדר השני means in the other room / in the second room.

Here the focus is on where she sleeps, not just the direction of movement.

• בחדר השני = in the other room
• לחדר השני = to the other room

Since the phrase is attached to לישון (to sleep), Hebrew naturally says she sleeps in that room:

• היא עוברת לישון בחדר השני = she moves/goes over to sleep in the other room

If you said לחדר השני, that would highlight the destination more strongly, but the original sentence emphasizes the place where the sleeping happens.

Yes, השני literally means the second.

But in everyday Hebrew, when there are two relevant things, השני often works like the other one.

So:

• החדר השני can mean the second room
• in context, it often naturally means the other room

In this sentence, the meaning is clearly:

• the other room

because the idea is that she leaves one room and sleeps in the other one.

In the present tense, Hebrew often does include subject pronouns, especially for clarity.

Here, including them is very helpful because:

• the first clause is about him
• the second clause is about her

So:

• הוא נוחר...
• היא עוברת...

makes the contrast very clear.

Hebrew can sometimes omit pronouns when the subject is obvious, but in a sentence with two different people, keeping them sounds natural and avoids confusion.

Yes. The verb is לנחור = to snore.

Examples:

• הוא נוחר = he snores
• היא נוחרת = she snores
• הם נוחרים = they snore

It is a common everyday verb.

It is pronounced roughly ba-LAI-la.

A helpful breakdown:

• ב־
  • לילה
• together: בלילה

The stress is on the middle syllable: LAI.

So:

• בלילה → ba-LAI-la

In this sentence, לפעמים = sometimes refers to her action, not his.

So the meaning is:

• He snores at night, and therefore sometimes she moves to sleep in the other room.

It does not mean:

• he sometimes snores at night

If Hebrew wanted that meaning more clearly, it would likely place לפעמים closer to הוא נוחר.

Grammatically, the Hebrew present tense can sometimes match is snoring, but in this sentence that would sound a bit odd in English because of לפעמים and the general, repeated situation.

The natural interpretation is habitual:

• He snores at night, so sometimes she goes to sleep in the other room.

So while נוחר can mean is snoring in some contexts, here snores is the better translation.

Yes, it is natural and helpful here because the sentence has two clauses:

• הוא נוחר בלילה
• ולכן לפעמים היא עוברת לישון בחדר השני

The comma marks the pause before the result clause, just like in English:

• He snores at night, so sometimes she moves to sleep in the other room.

It is standard punctuation for this kind of sentence.

Yes. Out of context, החדר השני can absolutely mean the second room.

But in this sentence, the context strongly points to:

• the other room

That is the most natural interpretation when someone leaves one room because another person is snoring.

The structure is:

subject + verb + time expression, connector + frequency adverb + subject + verb + infinitive + place

Broken down:

• הוא = subject
• נוחר = verb
• בלילה = time expression
• ולכן = connector (therefore / so)
• לפעמים = frequency adverb (sometimes)
• היא = subject
• עוברת = verb
• לישון = infinitive (to sleep)
• בחדר השני = place expression (in the other room)

Seeing the pieces this way can make long Hebrew sentences much easier to understand.
