גדול gadol=big, large
גודל godel=size

Curiously the Chinese word equivalent to size da-xiao (big/little) seems to allude to a similar labeling of this measurement word in relation to space as gadol is similar to godel both coming from the same root גדל.

Hi,

Sorry for asking here because I'm not learning this language, but my question is, hebrew doesn't should be written right to left?

Sorry for my ignorance but I saw this and makes me question, thanks in advance!

[mention]orojasp[/mention] The poor word processing skills of this forum in regards to Hebrew puts the question mark on the opposite end of where it is supposed to go. Going to the Duolingo forum for this sentence gives it the correct way.

Edit setting the direction to RTL before starting corrects this.

LTR
אני אוהב פיצה.

אתה לא אוהב פיצה.

הם לא אוהב פיצה.

RTL [The punctuation is still wrong in the text box but once submitted it is correct.]
אני אוהב פיצה.

אתה לא אוהב פיצה.

הם לא אוהב פיצה.
