שנגס. שמהפך האוכל בפיו. לשון מגיס בקדרה:
ונפל. האוכל עם לחלוחית הרוק שבו, על בגדיו ועל ככר של תרומה:
טהור הככר. כלומר לא הוכשר לקבל טומאה. ואע״ג דרוק בעלמא מכשיר, שאני הכא דלא אחשביה לרוק ואינו לרצון, שהרי נפל על בגדיו, ופשיטא דלא ניחא ליה:
כל שהוא רוצה למוץ את גרעינתו. אם נתכוין למצוץ הלחות שבגרעין, ונפל הגרעין עם הרוק שבו על ככר של תרומה, הוכשר הככר ברוק שעל גבי הגרעין, דהא אחשביה:
זיתים נגובים ותמרים יבשות כל שאינו רוצה למוץ גרעינתו. לא הוחשב המשקה ההוא ואינו מכשיר:
אחד טהור ואחד טבול יום כאלו. כלומר שניהם שוין בדין זה:
ר׳ מאיר אומר אלו ואלו. בין רטובות בין יבשות:
טמאים בטבול יום. כדמפרש טעמא, דמשקין של טמא מכשירים ומטמאין אפילו שלא לרצון, וטבול יום כטמא לדין זה. ורבנן חשבי ליה לטבול יום כטהור. והלכה כחכמים:

טבול יום פרק ד׳ משנה א׳
Bartenura
אוכל מעשר. מפרישין ממנו תרומת מעשר בטהרה – for a person who had immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom and hands are second degree of ritual uncleanness. And First Tithe (which goes to a Levite) is considered like unconsecrated produce, and second degree of ritual uncleanness does not make something third degree of ritual uncleanness with unconsecrated produce/food. Even though this tithe is immersed for the tithe of the tithe that is within it (which the Levite gives to the Kohen, regarding second and third degree of ritual uncleanness, the eatables forbidden pending the separation of sacred gifts is like unconsecrated produce/food, therefore, when we separate from it afterwards the tithe from the tithe it is pure.
אוכל מעשר. מפרישין ממנו תרומת מעשר בטהרה. דטבול יום וידים שניות הן, ומעשר ראשון כחולין הוא חשוב, ואין שני עושה שלישי בחולין. ואע״ג דהאי מעשר טבול לתרומת מעשר שבו, לענין שני ושלישי הטבל כחולין, הלכך כשמפרישין ממנו תרומת מעשר אחר כך הויא טהורה:

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.

שנגס (break off, bite off - who took a bite of some food, and something mixed with his saliva fell on his garments) – he turned the food over in his mouth (i.e., chewing). It is the language of stirring the pot.
ונפל – the food [fell] with the moistness of the spittle that is upon it on his clothing and on the loaf of [bread of] heave-offering.
טהור – the loaf, meaning to say it is not susceptible to receive ritual defilement. And even though mere spittle makes it susceptible. It is different here, for he did not consider to spit and it isn’t on purpose/intentional, for it fell upon his garments and it is obvious that it was not satisfactory to him.
כל שהוא רוצה למוץ את גרעינתו (anything on the pit of which he wishes to suck) - if he intended to suck the moisture that is on the pit and the pit/seed fell with the spittle that is upon it on the loaf of heave-offering, the loaf is made susceptible [to receive ritual uncleanness] with the spittle that is on the pit, and that is what he intended.
זיתים נגובים ומרים יבשות כל שאינו רוצה למוץ גרעינתו – he did not have an inappropriate intention regarding this liquid and it is not susceptible [to receive ritual defilement].
אחד טהור ואחד טבול יום באלו – meaning to say that both of them are equivalent in this law.
טמאים בטבול יום – as he explains the reasoning, that liquids of an impure person make it susceptible and defile even unintentionally/not on purpose, and a person who had immersed himself that day/Tevul Yom is like an impure person with regard to this law. But the Rabbis consider the person who had immersed himself that day as ritually pure. And the Halakha is according to the Sages.
