ukuran

Ukuran is a general term for size or measurement in Indonesian. It denotes the extent, dimensions, capacity, or amount of something. In everyday language, it encompasses both physical dimensions and numerical values used to specify products or quantities.

Common measurement domains include length, width, height (often expressed as panjang, lebar, tinggi), area, volume, mass, and time. In scientific and engineering contexts, ukuran is expressed with standardized units according to the International System of Units (SI) such as meter, kilogram, liter, second, and degree Celsius. Accuracy and precision depend on the instrument and method used.

In commerce and manufacturing, ukuran is defined in product specifications and packaging. Clothing and footwear use ukuran to indicate fit, often with labels like XS to XXL or numeric sizes that vary by brand and region. In housing and construction, ukuran refers to dimensions of rooms or components; in shipping, it relates to container capacities and package dimensions.

While the word is most common in Indonesian, related terms exist in Malay and other languages; the concept of ukuran is universal to measurement and sizing, though standards may differ by country.
