how to say “quality” in Hebrew

 

אֵיכוּת
 

 

 
The Hebrew word for quantity takes כַּמָּה   how much? – and adds the וּת-   ending, rendering כַּמּוּת   – the “how-much-ness” of something.
 
Likewise, the word for quality takes ְאֵיך   how – adds the same ending, and yields אֵיכוּת   – 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  .
 
For example:
 
זֶה מַחְשֵׁב אֵיכוּתִי.
This is a quality computer.
