The AYA says:
It was allowed for you (plural), the night of the fast/abstaining, the intimacy to your women. They are your clothing and you are their clothing. GOD knew that you were misleading yourselves, therefore HE arrived repentance on you and erased away from you (your fault). Therefore, now, mutually exchange skin embrace (in a sexual way), and desire what GOD allowed for you and eat and drink until the first light of dawn. Then, complete the fast/abstaining till the night. And do not exchange skin embrace while staying, in dedication, at the places of worship. Those are the limits set by GOD, therefore do not come near them. Similarly, the GOD makes clear and clarifying HIS signs to the people, perhaps they become conscious.

My Personal note:
This AYA allows people to have sex with their partners at night after the fast. Sex, in here means any act of intimacy with the partner. I do love the term BASHIEOOHUNNA which means your skin embracing their skin.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Peace be with you. Could you please explain the meaning of مَعْدُودَاتٍ maʿdūdātin in 2:184 , I noticed that in 30:4 the word بِضْعِ biḍ'ʿi, seems to mean the same thing. Thank you Simone.

Thank you for your question. it is a very interesting question. Madoodat means that "counted or can be counted" So, the number is something that is easily counted no matter what it is. However, BIDII means some or a few and so while the one hearing the term Bidii may expect a few years the one who reads Madoodat does not necessary expect a low number of days as long as they are easily counted.
