Don't laugh at this sentence! I know a family in my Jerusalem neighborhood with 15 children. My husband and I enjoyed their Shabbat hospitality this past Shabbat VaYeshev!
Happy Hanukkah, y'all!

I think "my last girlfriend" would be החברה האחרונה שלי. I think שעבר is used only in time related sentences - בשנה שעברה - last year.

Why tedious? DL apparently doesn't teach Biblical Hebrew yet. ;-) I find that modern Hebrew spells things out more. Many of us probably haven't seen the word for 5 spelled as you did above.
Maybe you'll be the one who will bring this to us here at Duolingo?

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine by the sides of your house: thy children like olive plants about thy table. In this way indeed shall blessing come to the man who fears the Lord
