A ‘triplet’ in music is a set of three notes where each subsequent note is slightly shorter than the note before it, and all three notes are played in the span of two ordinary notes. In other words, you might have three notes in the span of a half note, or three notes in the span of a quarter note. It’s up to the musician to time the notes properly to fit.
You’ll want to Google for some examples of triplets in music. It’s much easier to understand when you hear it than when it’s described to you.
