Etymology[edit]
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
kolmonen
- three (digit or figure 3)
- number three (anything that is third or with the number three)
- third gear
- trey (playing card or score three)
- triplet (one of a group of three babies born from the same mother during the same birth)

Usage notes[edit]
In Finnish, three as a value or count of something is kolme, but in Finnish three as an attribute of something is kolmonen. Hence e.g. a bus number three is referred to as kolmonen, and three as the face value of a die is also kolmonen, and so "three threes" in a dice game would be kolme kolmosta or kolmoskolmoset.
