"Ο τριπλός αριθμός."

Translation: The triple number.

[timtz75]

what is a triple number? a number with three digits? something else?
makes no sense in english

[YPSILONZ]

Makes no sense in Greek either... A three-digit number is called τριψήφιος.

[ct1001]

I agree. There is no such concept as a triple number or triple digit number. One may use a "three-digit" number instead, but I still don't know what a τριπλός αριθμός is.

[kaartje]

Aha, and I thought I didn't understand because I am not a native speaker in english ;-)
That makes it more difficult to learn the exact meaning of some words!
So yes, for me it is important that both engelish and greek sentences makes sense!

[jamesphealy]

Is there a difference in meaning between αριθμός and νούμερο?

[Rob43066]

I simply can't hear the difference between diplos and triplos

[involans]

Surely "triple the number", as in "there were triple the number of people"

[bonbayel]

But this is Ο τρίπλος νούμερος. You'd think that would be Ο τρίπλος του νούμερου or something like that.

[bonbayel]

Sorry, αριθμός. I could see the original.

[Wowa269009]

Can it be like a number represents the triple of another? For instance 12 is the triple of 4. Twelve is the triple (number) of four. Something that in English (correct me if I'm wrong, since I'm not a native speaker) is translated only as the triple.

[G.Georgopoulos]

That would be "τριπλάσιος" (three-fold) ;)

[Wowa269009]

Ευχαριστώ for the lesson. :-)

[juggledean]

666 is a triple number.

Yes I'm not sure why everyone is in a tizzy over this. There a various triple numbers in many cultures. Sure this isn't an everyday sentence but it sufficiently explains the meaning of τριπλος

[VanessaGor47801]

The sound on this question is a bit hard to distinguish - could it be made a bit clearer?

[Tomvince]

what about : "the triple digit" ?

[LenaKoutis]

Yes, because I don't know what a triple number is. Triple digit--I know what that is.

What about darts do they have triple and double numbers maybe a darts player could verify
