What is תיאום?

תיאום is a noun meaning coordination, arrangement, or synchronization, depending on context.

It comes from the verb לתאם, meaning to coordinate.

So:

תיאום קצר = a brief coordination
in natural English, this often means a short discussion, a quick check-in, or a brief arrangement

This is a very common pattern in Hebrew: a verb has a related noun that expresses the action.
