It refers to the units we use in order to measure distance, length and speed, weight, volume and areas, as well as any other set of units used to specify anything that we can measure. Internationally, we often use as units of measurement the names of the scientists that contributed to their respective fields, as for example, for energy, power and pressure, so there is no difference between languages for these measures. However, this is not always the case. Although the Metric system is the official European system of measurement, it is different to the one followed in the US and UK. This may complicate the learning of the language for many, especially students overseas as well as English speaking tourists that visit the country, as they must master not only the new word but also understand the relationship or measurement expressed by it. So, as the tourist season is ripe, this is a good opportunity to revise the basic words that express measures in Greek.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u039c\u03ad\u03c4\u03c1\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9
