Explanation:
In case you are looking for the hebrew translation of yemenite, the previous reply is correct.

In case you wish to know what this means, my reply is as follows:

A "yemenite", or a "yemenite step" (צעד תימני) is a specific type of dance step common in the dancing of yemenite jews (not necessarily in non-jewish yemenite dancing - I do not know about that).

Nowadays it is seen as a proud piece of Israeli cultural heritage, which encompasses the folklore of Israeli jews coming from communities around the world. This is to some degree an accomplishment owed to Ofra Haza, who helped make the Yemenite step common ground.

I hope this is helpful.

Explanation:
I assume you wantto know what it is in Hebrew, since Yemenite is English. Yemenite is teimani, and it's spelled tav-yod-mem-nun-yod תימני
