Millilitraan

Millilitraan is a term encountered in some languages as a way to denote the unit of volume equal to one thousandth of a liter. In most widely used forms of English and in many languages, the standard term is milliliter, abbreviated mL, with 1 mL = 0.001 L and equal to 1 cubic centimeter (cm^3). The milliliter is part of the metric system and is routinely used to measure small liquid volumes in science, medicine, cooking, and industry.

Regional and linguistic notes: In certain languages or dialects, millilitraan may appear as a derivative or inflected form of the word for milliliter, or as a transliteration in translation. However, millilitraan is not part of the official SI nomenclature. Formal usage typically prefers milliliter or the symbol mL, especially in technical or international contexts.

Usage: Milliliters are commonly used to specify amounts of liquids in recipes, injections, laboratory reagents, and instrument measurements. For larger amounts, liters are used (L), while smaller measurements can be expressed in microliters (µL) or nanoliters (nL) as needed.

History: The liter and its submultiples were established during metrication in the 19th and 20th centuries. The specific form millilitraan is not standard in international science or standard references, and when precision is required, the term milliliter or the symbol mL is preferred.
