how to say “quality” in Hebrew

 

אֵיכוּת

 

 
The Hebrew word for quantity takes כַּמָּה listen and repeat how much? – and adds the וּת- listen and repeat ending, rendering כַּמּוּת listen and repeat – the “how-much-ness” of something.
 
Likewise, the word for quality takes ְאֵיך listen and repeat how – adds the same ending, and yields אֵיכוּת listen and repeat – or the “how-ness” of something.
 
For example:
 
אֲנַחְנוּ מַדְפִּיסִים מוֹדָעוֹת עַל נְיָר בְּאֵיכוּת גְּבוֹהָה.
We print advertisements on high-quality paper.
 
Quality in the adjective sense becomes אֵיכוּתִי listen and repeat.
 
For example:
 
זֶה מַחְשֵׁב אֵיכוּתִי.
This is a quality computer.
