how to say “size” in Hebrew

 

גֹּדֶל, מִדָּה

 

 
If you’ve got some basic Hebrew down, you know that the word for big is גָּדוֹל  listen and repeat for a masculine object such as a book, and גְּדוֹלָה  listen and repeat for a feminine object such as a shirt. 
 
Size – or bigness – is גֹּדֶל  listen and repeat.
 
For example:
 
בְּאֵיזֶה גֹּדֶל אַתָּה רוֹצֶה אֶת הַתְּמוּנוֹת?
What size do you (a male) want the pictures?
 
When referring to size of clothing, there’s a different word: מִדָּה  listen and repeat, which means literally measurement
 
For example:
 
אֵין לָכֶם חֻלְצוֹת בַּמִּדָּה שֶׁלִּי?
You (plural) don’t have shirts in my size?
