"זה גדול יותר בפנים!"
Translation:This is bigger inside!

YardenNB says that Doctor Who is דוקטור הו in Hebrew. Saying מי (the Hebrew word for “who”) reminds me of how my Japanese teacher in college laughed when I translated Time magazine as “Toki”, the Japanese word for time. I learned then that proper names are usually not translated, but transliterated.
I think it should say "It's bigger on the inside!", like the Tardis. :-) But I think of a more mundane context, such as: the two cars seem about the same size on the outside, but this one is bigger inside.
I get that this is a dr who reference, but it's kind of hard to bootstrap the meanings of new words when their context doesn't help you
Is this suggesting a comparison of two things? Or is it like when we'd say in English, "It too big inside." Such as a large dog coming indoors?
It can't mean "too", there are other constructs for that in Hebrew. It either compares two things, or compares the same thing inside vs. outside.
