"The Minister of Finance worked in a bank for twenty years."

Translation: שר האוצר עבד בבנק במשך עשרים שנים.

[YHalperin1]

I'd say שנה and not שנים

[Home-To-Him]

שַׂר הָאוֹצָר עָבַד בְּבַנְק בְּמֶשֶׁךְ עֶשְׂרִים שָׁנִים

[Kevsuire]

"עשרים שנה " או " עשרים שנות" ?

[dandelosidiomas]

It would be שנים, not שנות, but i think in hebrew שנה is used for somethin like that

[EranBarLev]

שנות is only used in a construct state, pronounced "shnot". For example: אלפיים שנות גלות. Otherwise the plural for שנה is שנים. It's irregular, using the masculine suffix for a feminine noun.

[esdrujula69]

In a previous question, the answer was
שר האוצר עבד בבנק במשך עשרים שנים
Why שנעם in that example but שנה in this one?

[EranBarLev]

Both are correct, but it's much more common to use the singular שנה.

[VivekRaman7]

According to Google Translate אוצר means curator. I'm not sure why this word is used in שר האוצר

[danny912421]

Please, don't use Google translate! It's very unreliable. Instead use context.reverso, pealim or wiktionary.

Curator is a word spelled the same, but it's a different word, pronounced "otzér". This word, pronounced "otzár" is trasure or treasury. So, the literal meaning of שר האוצר means "minister of treasury".
