Bartenura
חמשה לא יתרומו. מנינא למעוטי מדרבי יהודה, דאמר קטן שתרם תרומתו תרומה:
האלם. והוא ששומע אלא שנשתתק מחמת חולי, לא יתרום, לפי שאינו יכול לברך. וכן הערום אינו יכול לברך דכתיב (דברים כג) ולא יראה בך ערות דבר, בשעה שאתה מדבר בו לא יראה בך ערוה:
ובעל קרי. נמי בזמן התקנה מקמי דבטלוה לטבילותא לא הוה מצי לברך, דתנן בעל קרי מהרהר בלבו:
והשכור והסומא. אינם יודעים לברור מן היפה, ואנן בעינן שיהא התורם בורר ותורם מן היפה דכתיב (במדבר יח) מכל חלבו את מקדשו. ושכור מקרי כל שאינו יכול לדבר בפני המלך מחמת שכרותו:
Mishnah 2
Mishnayos Terumos Perek 1 Mishnah 7
תרומות פרק א׳ משנה ז׳
Bartenura
אין תורמין לא במדה – As it is written (Numbers 18:27): “ This shall be accounted to you as your gift…” by thought, you donate [the sacred gift], that is to say, by estimation, but you do not donate neither by measure nor by weight nor by number. And even though this Biblical verse is written concerning the tithe of the tithe which the Levite owes to the Kohen (Numbers 18:26 – which is 10% of what he had received from Israelites -תרומת מעשר ), if it has no relation to the tithe of the tithe, for the Torah indeed had given it a measure, and he must measure in order that he gives the appropriate size/limit.
אין תורמין לא במדה. דכתיב (שם) ונחשב לכם תרומתכם, במחשבה אתה תורם כלומר מאומד, ואי אתה תורם לא במדה ולא במשקל ולא במנין. ואף על גב דהאי קרא בתרומת מעשר הוא דכתיב, אם אינו ענין לתרומת מעשר שהרי נתנה בו תורה שיעור מעשר מן המעשר וצריך שימדוד כדי שיתן השיעור הראוי, תנהו ענין לתרומה גדולה שלא נתנה בו תורה שיעור:
אבל תורם הוא את המדוד. שמודד הוא את טבלו, או מונה ושוקל את טבלו ומכניסו לתוך ביתו, וכשמפריש התרומה גדולה ממנו מפריש מאומד ולא ימדוד ולא ישקול ולא ימנה:
אין תורמין בסל ובקופה שהם של מדה. שהרואה אומר במדה הוא תורם:
אבל תורם הוא בהן חציין ושלישן. דכיון דאינו ממלא אותן ליכא למגזר:
שחציה מדה. שיש בסאה פעמים סימנין עד מקום חציה ואיכא למגזר דלמא אתו לתרום במדה:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

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.

חמשה לא יתרומו – This number excludes from what Rabbi Yehuda said [in Mishnah 3] that a minor who donated the priest’s due/heave-offering, his donation is an offering.
האלם – and he hears but stopped speaking as a result of illness, he should not donate priest’s due because he is unable to recite the Blessing. And similarly, is unable to recite the blessing , as it is written (Deuteronomy 23:15): “[Since the LORD your God moves about in your camp to protect you…]; let Him not find anything unseemly among you [and turn away from you];” at the time when you speak about it, He will not find anything unseemly.
ובעל קרי – also at the time of the ordinance in His presence for since his ritual immersion has been nullified, he was not able to recite the blessing as it is taught in the Mishnah [i.e. Berakhot, Chapter 3, Mishnah 4] that one to whom a pollution (i.e., nocturnal emission) occurred, only thinks (i.e., recites the Shema] in his heart (which, according to Talmud Berakhot 20b – that reviewing a passage in one’s mind is as good as loud recitation).
והשכור והסומא – who do not know how to single out/sift from that which is fine and we require that the person who donates the priest’s due/Terumah sift and donate that which is fine, as it is written (Numbers 18:29): “from each thing its best portion, [the part thereof that is to be consecrated];” and a drunk person is called such as all who are unable to speak in the presence of the King as a result of his drunkenness.
