Bartenura
כל היד המרבה לבדוק. שבודקת תמיד שמא ראתה:
ובאנשים. שבודק עצמו תמיד באמתו, שמא יצא ממנו קרי:
תקצץ. שמתחמם ומרגיש כשממשמש באמה, ומוציא שכבת זרע לבטלה:
והסומא. אינה משנה ודחויה היא. אלא היא בודקת לעצמה ומראה לחברותיה:
ושנטרפה דעתה. מחמת חולי:
מתקינות אותן. בודקות אותן ומטבילות אותן:
הכי גרסינן, הצנועות מתקנות להן שלישי לתקן את הבית. כלומר לבדוק לפני תשמיש ולהכין עצמה לבעלה. והוא הדין לכל הנשים כדתנן בפרק קמא ובשעה שהיא עוברת לשמש את ביתה, והא דנקט צנועות, משום דצנועות עד שבודקת בו לפני תשמיש זה אין בודקות בו לפני תשמיש אחר, לפי שמטונף וכהה מראית ליבונו בבדיקה ראשונה, ושוב אין נראית בו טפה כחרדל:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Niddah Perek 2 Mishnah 2
נדה פרק ב׳ משנה ב׳
Bartenura
נמצא על שלו – even if he waited a long time after coition prior to wiping, it is known that there was blood at the time of sexual intercourse.
טמאין – both of them (i.e., the husband and the wife) are defiled for seven days, like the law of someone who has intercourse with a menstruant woman.
אותיום – immediately, and there is no [term] similar to this in the Mishnah.
טמאים מספק – both of them are impure for seven days. But however, it is a doubtful impurity [in that she doubtfully saw blood at the time of intercourse and/or didn’t see blood at the time of intercourse, but only after the sexual intercourse) leaves it in abeyance but not to burn [a sin-offering].
ופטורים מן הקרבן – from a regular sin-offering, but they are liable for an uncertain guilt-offering [brought by one who is uncertain as to whether he committed a sin that requires a sin-offering; it was also called the guilt-offering of the pious].
נמצא דם על שלו. אפילו שהה זמן ארוך לאחר בעילה קודם קינוח, בידוע שהיה דם בשעת תשמיש:
טמאין. שניהם, טומאת שבעה, כדין בועל נדה:
אותיום. תיכף ואין לו דומה במשנה:
טמאים מספק. שניהם טמאים שבעה ימים, ומיהו טומאת ספק היא לתלות אבל לא לשרוף:
ופטורים מן הקרבן. מחטאת קבוע, אבל חייבים באשם תלוי:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

What is the Mishnah?
The Mishnah is the first major written collection of Jewish oral traditions, forming the basis of the Talmud. It dates back to around 200 CE and consists of teachings and discussions of Jewish law by various rabbis.
Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

כל היד המרבה לבדוק – that always examines [herself] lest she see it (i.e., blood).
ובאנשים – [a man] who always examines himself in his membrum virile (see Tractate Niddah 13a), lest his emission went out from him.
תקצץ (should be cut off) – who warms himself and feels his membrum virile when he warms himself (i.e., masturbates), and removes/spills semen in vain.
וסומא – but it is not Mishnah and is inoperative/suspended, but rather, she examines herself and shows it to her friends.
ושנטרפה דעתה (confused, not fully conscious) – on account of illness.
מתקינות אותן – they examine them (i.e., those who are confused/not fully conscious) and immerse them [as needed].
And this is the reading: הצנועות מתקנות להן שלישי לתקן את הבית – that is to say, to examine before sexual intercourse and to prepare herself for her husband, and the same law applies for all women as is taught in the first chapter [of Tractate Niddah] and at the time that she passes to passes to have intercourse with her husband, for it (i.e., the Mishnah) took [the terminology], "צנועות"/modest (i.e., pious) the cloth (literally, “the witness”) that she examines herself before this intercourse she does not examine herself with it for another intercourse because it is soiled/filthy and dull/shaded in its white appearance with the first examination, and furthermore, the drop [of blood] like mustard is not seen.
