שום

שום

The Hebrew word "שום" can mean "garlic" or "any" (depending on context).

In this sentence, 'שום' (shum) is used as a negative intensifier, reinforcing the idea of 'none'. This usage implies complete absence of the referenced item or concept.

אין לי שום עניין בזה.

I have no interest in this.

Here, 'שום דבר' (shum davar) translates to 'nothing,' and it emphasizes the total lack of events during the specified time.

שום דבר לא קרה בזמן שהיינו שם.

Nothing happened while we were there.

In this case, 'שום' (shum) refers to garlic, a cooking ingredient. This represents the noun form referring to an herb.

השתמשתי בשום להכנת הרוטב.

I used garlic to prepare the sauce.
