@topaz it’s the pulse that does it. Normally 3/4 is 1 and 2 and 3 and where 6/8 is 1 pu let 2 pu let.. 16th notes would be 6 pulses per dotted quarter giving a 16th note triplet feel… It’s about the ratio of note that gets the beat to the divisions on top. In 4/4 quarter note gets the beat so 2 eighths per beat, in 3n/8 it’s a dotted quarter which is 3 eighths per beat. You then subdivide by 2s still but because of the pulse you feel it in sets of 3n

@topaz your main pulse would be a dotted quarter, so you’d feel two beats each with 3 eighth notes that feel like triplets

@topaz there’s something referred to as compound signatures. 6/8 is really a triplet feel with the dotted quarter getting the beat…. Same with 12/8. So while technically no, but you get the feeling of divisions by 3
