### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In this quotation it is a Hebrew word, written in Hebrew letters, that names a person, and it has nothing to do with noise. Interpretation: In Jewish tradition din means law or judgment, and it also names God's strict justice, which is balanced by mercy. In the primary lessons: In stories and everyday life a din is the noise of a busy playground, a building site or a crowded canteen; it tells the reader the place is noisy and hard to think in; phrases: «make a din», «above the din», «what a din!», «din it into someone».

Usually «a din» or «the din»; no plural in normal use. Short and old word. Not the same as «dinner»; and «din-dins» is baby talk for dinner.
