Basic measurements: Measurements

💬 [大小] literally combines [大] and [小], and together it means "size," not "big and small." You can reuse this pattern in words like [長短] for "length" or [高低] for "height level / high and low."

💬 [尺寸] is a common word for measured size, especially for clothes, shoes, or product specs. You can swap the first part: [大尺寸], [小尺寸], [中等尺寸].

💬 Words ending in [度] often name a measurement: [寬度] width, [長度] length, [厚度] thickness. If you know the describing word, you can often build the measurement word from it.

💬 [長] can mean "long," but in other contexts it can also mean "to grow" or "chief / leader," so context matters. For measurements, pair it with things like [很長] or [長度].

💬 Like [寬度], [重量] is a noun for the measurement itself: "weight," not "heavy." To describe something, use [重], as in [這個很重].
