How do you say this in Hebrew? In my neighborhood, there is someone sick on every block
I am having trouble figuring out how to say "on every block." In American English, we have the concept of a "city block" which can be used as above, and in "on my block there is an old house" etc. How is this concept conveyed in Hebrew?

@ilayschap Hmmmm, on Morfix, the definition of "בלוק" does not seem to match the American definition...

@joseramirezz In hebrew block can be a piece of wood or stone, and a group of buildings surrounded by roads, same as in english
- Hebrew
@joseramirezz streets in Israel are not organized by blocks but I’ve definitely heard people use blocks to refer to buildings before. It’s less common but it exists. If you want to be really clear you can just say בכל בניין to convey the same meaning.
