How the two words are related

Loanword

Borrowed between the languages (or by both from a third).

The colloquial pronunciation of مِئَة, 'hundred' (this app's own numbers entry), doubled for emphasis: 'a hundred, a hundred' means totally, spot-on, 100 percent. Israeli slang borrowed the whole doubled phrase, מייה מייה, as an easy stand-in for 'absolutely.'
