The German adjective 'doppelt' means 'double' in English. It is used to describe something that is twice the size, amount, or number of another thing.
For example, if you have two identical items, you can say 'Ich habe doppelt so viele wie du' which translates to 'I have double the amount as you'. This indicates that you have twice as many items as the other person.
In mathematics, 'doppelt' can also be used to describe a number that is multiplied by two. For instance, if you multiply 5 by 2, you get '10', which can be described as 'fünf doppelt' meaning 'five doubled'.
