תְּלַת-מֵמַד

Modern Hebrew borrows words from Aramaic for many official and legal terms. Using the word three as an adjective is one such case, as in the phrase meaning three-dimensional space: תְּלַת-מֵמַד (tlaht meh-MAHD). תלת is the Aramaic word for Hebrew's three - שָׁלֹש (shah-LOHSH). Note that ת in Aramaic replaces the Hebrew ש, but otherwise it's essentially the same word.


מימד means dimension, as in, ?מַה הַמֵּמַדִּים שֶׁל הַבִּנְיָן (mah-hah-meh-mah-DEEM shel hah-been-YAHN?) - what are the dimensions of the building?
