senttilitrejä

Senttilitrejä is the plural form of senttilitra, the centiliter, a unit of volume in the metric system. A centiliter equals one hundredth of a liter, or 10 milliliters. The symbol is cl. Centiliters are commonly used in Finland and other European contexts to denote small beverage volumes and packaging sizes. Typical container sizes expressed in centiliters include 33 cl, 50 cl, and 75 cl; beer and soft drinks are often sold in 33 cl or 50 cl bottles, while wine commonly comes in 75 cl bottles.

The centiliter is a decimal-based unit derived from the liter; 1 liter equals 100 centiliters, and 1 centiliter equals 10 milliliters. This relationship makes centiliters convenient for describing moderate-volume containers without resorting to milliliters for everyday purposes.

In everyday language and packaging labeling, centiliters remain a convenient unit for describing modest liquid volumes. In scientific, culinary, or medical contexts, milliliters or liters are more common, but centiliters may still appear on consumer labels and in recipes or instructions that refer to beverage quantities in cl.
