Definition
  1. Noun:
    • A metric unit of volume equal to one thousandth of a liter: "ml" is an abbreviation for milliliter, a standard unit for measuring small volumes in the metric system. It is commonly used in scientific, medical, and culinary contexts.
Usage
  • "ml" is used as a written symbol following a number to indicate a specific volume measurement.
  • It is typically not used in spoken language; the full word "milliliter" is pronounced instead.
  • The abbreviation is written in lowercase letters.
Examples
  • Noun:
    • The recipe calls for 250 ml of milk.
    • A standard teaspoon holds approximately 5 ml of liquid.
    • The patient was administered 10 ml of the medicine.
Advanced Usage
  • Scientific Notation: In technical writing, volumes may be expressed using "ml" or the alternative symbol "mL" (with a capital L). Both are accepted.
    • The sample volume was 0.5 mL.
  • Contextual Implication: The use of "ml" implies precision and is standard in contexts where exact measurement is important, such as chemistry, pharmacology, and baking.
Variants and Related Words
  • Milliliter (n): The full form of the unit.
    • One milliliter is a very small volume.
  • cc (n): Cubic centimeter. In the context of fluid volume, 1 ml is equal to 1 cc. This is often used in medical fields (e.g., engine displacement is measured in cc, but for fluids, it is equivalent to ml).
    • The syringe holds 3 cc, which is 3 ml.
Synonyms
  • Cubic centimeter (cc): For practical purposes in measuring liquids, a cubic centimeter is equivalent to a milliliter.
Notes
  • "ml" is an abbreviation, not a phrasal verb or idiom.
  • It is part of the International System of Units (SI).
  • The liter (and thus the milliliter) is a unit accepted for use with the SI, though the SI base unit for volume is the cubic meter.
Noun
  1. a metric unit of volume equal to one thousandth of a liter
