Kuutosenttimetri

Kuutosenttimetri is a Finnish term that translates to "six centimeters." It refers to a unit of length in the metric system, specifically one-hundredth of a meter. While the term itself is straightforward, its usage in Finnish can vary depending on context. It might describe the size of an object, the distance between two points, or a measurement in a specific field like engineering, construction, or everyday life. For instance, a piece of wood might be described as "kuutosenttimetriä paksu" meaning "six centimeters thick." Similarly, a gap could be "kuutosenttimetriä leveä," or "six centimeters wide." In scientific or technical discussions, it would be used as a precise measurement. In more informal settings, it's a common way to express dimensions that are roughly this size. The concept is directly equivalent to the SI unit of 0.06 meters or 60 millimeters. Its understanding is fundamental to grasping metric measurements in Finland and other countries using the metric system.
