What is a triple in musical terms?

Three notes, normally quavers, they are to played faster than normal quavers. I always remember how to play them, because in my head I say 'banana' To be exact in definition, 'triplet' means that the three notes must be played in time of two notes. For example, if you had a triplet in quavers, they must be played in the time of a crotchet, because two quavers equal 1 crotchet. Another example, triplet in crotchets must be played in the time of a minim, because two crotchets equal 1 minim.
