אחרי הבדיקה מדדתי חום עוד פעם בבית.

אחרי means after.

In אחרי הבדיקה, it introduces a time expression: after the examination / after the check-up / after the test.

A very common pattern is:

אחרי + noun = after + noun

Examples:

• אחרי העבודה = after work
• אחרי הארוחה = after the meal
• אחרי הבדיקה = after the examination/check-up

Hebrew also allows אחרי ש־... before a full clause:

• אחרי שבדקתי... = after I checked / after I was examined...

In your sentence, אחרי הבדיקה sets the time for the main action.

The ה־ is the definite article, meaning the.

So:

• בדיקה = an examination / a check / a test
• הבדיקה = the examination / the check / the test

In אחרי הבדיקה, Hebrew is referring to a specific check-up or examination already known from context.

This is very normal in Hebrew. If both speaker and listener know which examination is meant, Hebrew usually uses the definite form.

מדדתי is the past-tense, first-person singular form of the verb למדוד = to measure.

Breakdown:

• dictionary form: למדוד
• past, I: מדדתי = I measured

The ending ־תי is a very common marker for I in the past tense.

Examples:

• כתבתי = I wrote
• שמרתי = I kept
• מדדתי = I measured

So the subject I is built into the verb, which is why Hebrew does not need a separate word for I here.

Yes, literally חום means heat, but in everyday Hebrew למדוד חום is the normal expression for to take someone’s temperature or to measure a fever/temperature.

So:

• מדדתי חום = I took my temperature / I measured my temperature

Hebrew often leaves my unspoken if it is obvious from context. In English, you would usually say I took my temperature, but Hebrew can simply say I measured temperature and let context supply whose temperature it is.

You may also hear:

• מדדתי את החום = I measured the temperature
• מדדתי חום לילד = I took the child’s temperature

So this is a standard idiomatic use, not a mistake.

In Hebrew, את marks a definite direct object.

You use את before something specific/definite:

• מדדתי את החום = I measured the temperature
• ראיתי את הילד = I saw the boy

But you usually do not use את before an indefinite noun:

• מדדתי חום = I measured temperature / took a temperature
• קניתי ספר = I bought a book

Here, חום is being used in a more general, idiomatic way, so את is not needed.

Yes. עוד פעם means again, literally something like one more time.

So:

• מדדתי חום עוד פעם = I took my temperature again

Very often, Hebrew uses:

• עוד פעם
• שוב

Both can mean again.

Examples:

• ניסיתי עוד פעם = I tried again
• ניסיתי שוב = I tried again

Nuance:

• עוד פעם often feels a bit more conversational and literal: one more time
• שוב can sound slightly more neutral or formal

In everyday speech, עוד פעם is extremely common.

בבית is made of:

• ב־ = in / at
• הבית = the house / the home

When ב־ attaches to a word with ה־, they combine:

• ב + הבית = בבית

Depending on context, בבית can mean:

• in the house
• at home

In this sentence, at home is the natural English translation:

• מדדתי חום עוד פעם בבית = I took my temperature again at home

English prefers at home here, even though the Hebrew form is literally in the home/house.

This is a very common question.

• בבית = at home / in the house → location
• הביתה = home → direction, movement toward home

Examples:

• אני בבית = I am at home
• הלכתי הביתה = I went home

In your sentence, the speaker is already describing where the action happened, so בבית is correct.

If you said הביתה, it would suggest motion toward home, which does not fit here.

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

This sentence starts with a time phrase:

• אחרי הבדיקה = after the examination

Then comes the main action:

• מדדתי חום = I took my temperature

Then additional information:

• עוד פעם = again
• בבית = at home

So the sentence flows like this: After the examination, I took my temperature again at home.

Other word orders are possible, for example:

• מדדתי חום עוד פעם בבית אחרי הבדיקה
• אחרי הבדיקה בבית מדדתי חום עוד פעם

But the original order is very natural because it presents:

1. when,
2. what happened,
3. repetition,
4. location.

A simple pronunciation guide is:

Akharei habdika madadti khom od pa'am babayit.

Word by word:

• אחרי = akharei
• הבדיקה = habdika
• מדדתי = madadti
• חום = khom
• עוד פעם = od pa'am
• בבית = babayit

A few pronunciation notes:

• ח is the throaty sound often written kh
• ע in modern Israeli Hebrew is often very weak or silent in everyday speech
• בבית sounds like ba-bá-yit

It could mean different kinds of check/test/examination depending on context.

בדיקה is a broad word and can refer to:

• a medical examination or check-up
• a test or inspection
• a check of something

Because the sentence also says מדדתי חום and mentions home, many learners will naturally understand הבדיקה here as a medical check-up or examination. But the exact meaning depends on the larger context.

So הבדיקה is best understood as:

• the check-up
• the examination
• the test

with context deciding which one sounds best.
