lbs and kgs? ft and cm? oz and ml? When Canadians talk about measurement, did you know that we actually use both the imperial system and the metric system depending on what we’re measuring?! Despite the fact that Canada switched to the metric system in the 1970’s, many Canadians mix both metric measurements and imperial measurements in their daily English conversation. The way Canadians measure can be confusing, but today’s video is going to teach you how Canadians measure and when we typically use each of the types of measurement in Canada.
After a brief history of measuring in Canada, this video will discuss how Canadians measure various types of things. You will learn the meaning of the following measurement vocabulary and how Canadians measure these things with examples:

Question of the Day: How are things measured in your country? 📏

@ikuo-sunrise7375 3 жыл бұрын

Hi JeN！ In Japan，as you may know，we use cm，km ， etc. ，for length， g，kg ，etc. ，for weight and centigrade for temperature． We also have traditional units to measure，for instance，Syaku (尺)，Sun (寸) and Kan (貫) ． However，they are seldom to be used nowadays． Although people in some particular occupations like carpenters，kimono makers ，etc. ，still use these units，we don't use these measurements in our daily life． Canadians are must be quite smart and flexible because they have taken in two ways of measuring things． Would you mind if I asked you about the word ‘ metre ’ ？ I know another mode to write the word as ‘ meter ’ ． Do Canadians usually write words in British way？ Speaking of measurement， ‘ JeN’s Jyugyou ’ has moved the needle for the better in my life！ Thank you for your lesson today．Have a good one！ Ikuo from Japan．

Hi JeN, it's good to see you.It took a long time to meet you again, and I noticed, there is no difference in your way of teaching and it is becoming more and more interesting. In India we use both the systems almost the same as Canada, for me it's not a confusing thing because I'm familiar with it. Only for the length, we switch units according to the distance which is going to be measured, that is for smaller distance we use centimeters or inches then it becomes feet, meters kilometres and goes on. And the best part I think is almost all people know how to convert these units to another. So it's not a complex thing. And let me know if I made a mistake,it will be very helpful to achieve good English skills. Wish you a great weekend...

Hi Ikuo 😁. Thanks for your response. I've actually never heard of the traditional types of measurement that you mentioned in your comment, but I found it interesting to learn about them. 🤗 Thanks for thinking that we are smart...I actually think it's dumb to keep holding on to the past and expect younger people to understand things like feet and pounds, when we only ever learn the metric system in school. 😅 Although I have a basic concept of the imperial system, I can't convert things like tell you how many inches are in a foot and so on. I strongly feel that Canada needs to get with the times and let go of the imperial system completely. I ranted about that a lot while filming this and spent a long time editing out my rants about how old fashioned and inconvenient it is to keep using both systems of measurement, but it is what it is 🤷‍♀️. As for spelling, in Canada we sometimes use 'tre at the ends of words, and sometimes we use 'ter' at the ends of words...we like to mix it up. For example, a building could be an art's centre, but if we are talking about the middle of something, many people would refer to it as the center. If a Canadian were to watch a play / musical they would go to a theatre, but many Canadians would say they watch a film at a movie theater.... I like to keep it simple and just stick to 'tre' for everything as much as I can. Meter or metre are both perfectly correct in Canada 👍🏻 I guess similar to our mix of measurement, we also have a mix of spelling, too 😅. Thanks again for your lovely comment. 💐 I hope you have a great weekend ☀️

As a Canadian who was a teen when we made the switch, I find your analysis fascinating and spot-on! For me, the biggest reason we did not fully switch was that the Conversative government of the '80s under Brian Mulroney put a stop to the metrification process introduced by the Liberals, who'd become wildly unpopular under the father of our current PM. It's interesting to note that countries like Australia and New Zealand fully made the switch, including decimalizing their currencies.

Hi, Jen. I really appreciate your work making this video for us. In Mexico, we use the International System of Units. However, due to our closeness to the U.S., in some cases we also employ the imperial system. In the construction and manufacturing industries, the imperial system is commonly used. This is because the U.S. is Mexico’s main trading partner. We need to adapt to them. I think this might apply to Canada as well. At the university, teachers tell students that it is important to learn the two systems because books and factories utilize both systems.

That's really interesting and makes a lot of sense. Thank you for sharing about the measurement system in Mexico. It actually seems really similar to what has happened in Canada, as especially in construction, the imperial rather than metric system is used here 🇨🇦 🇲🇽. From your comment, I feel that big difference is that younger Canadians, myself included, are never taught the imperial system and are just somehow expected to know it. For example, on driver's licenses in Canada your height is written in cm, but in a daily conversation if you ask someone how tall they are they'll answer in feet and inches. At the grocery store, all the signs are listed in pounds, but at the cash register the bill is reflected in kgs! It's this mixing that drives me crazy 😜. Anyways, thanks for watching and sharing 😁.

I grew up in Europe 100% metric. Beside the normal metric measurements, we only had the metric pound which is defined to be half a kilogram, which was probably introduced when we switched to metric in the 19th century so that the people could still purchase their pound of bread. However, it was only used for one pound of bread never for two or more. The funny thing is, that the metric pound is going out of use after over a century, because it does not fit into the system, while we started to buy screens in inches of diameter after they were sold in centimetres until the 90ies.

Hello Jen. Thanks for this awesome lesson. In my country, during my generation, we have always used the decimal system. When I lived in Canada, the imperial system was used as in the United States. I actually brought some tools that I couldn't use here, like wrenches🔧 and things like that. When I returned several times as a tourist, I was surprised that it had switched to decimal. But what I did not know before watching your video is that they still use some measurements in both systems, such as pounds, etc. ⚖️. But it is normal, that older people are even more familiar with what they learned as children 😊. Que tengas un buen día.🌸🌺🌻

Hi Santiago 🌸. Thanks for sharing your insights and experience with measuring in Canada and in Spain 🇪🇸 🇨🇦. When you mentioned tool that you couldn't use in Spain, I immediately thought of the Robertson screwdriver as it is apparently unique to Canada and not used in other countries. I don't know if you came across that in your time here 😅. I appreciate your point about reason perhaps why we use both systems is because older people like to use what they're familiar with, but the metric system was introduced over 50 years ago... I think it's time to give up on the outdated imperial system to be honest... but realistically I know that isn't going to happen anytime soon. Anyways, thank you for your thoughtful and thought provoking comment. 💐✨

Jen, I just discover you channel and can`t stop with your videos, I`m learning english by myself and discovered gold with your topics and the way you speak and teach, , I learn english with "Bob the Canadian" and now with you too. About your question (sorry the long story but I love history) in my country Argentina, we use the metric system (SI) this was adopted before the year 1900, but was not legally imposed at around 1975 because the national industry was growing (using mm and Kg) and all things imported came sometimes in mm and sometimes in inches, the best thing is when you were going for a screw for example, you don`t know what system do you could found. Today we have a weir situation with the wood, we make furniture pieces in milimeters (or meters and mm) but the solid wood is seled in Feets2 no matter that the process and final mesaurement is in mm, another weird thing is we call "square foot" but in fact isn`t correct because you buy (or make the convert) 1ft X 1ft X 1" even is not a cubic feet Is weird and you need to make many numbers to calculate the price of a simple piece of wood!! Today in other industries some materials came in imperial mesurements and is usual make something with it final mesurements in mm but the materials are for example a scuare tube of 1" X 1" But in daily life we use the metric system. Finally here the fresh milk also come in bags, called "sachet" and have 1 Litre Thanks!

You mentioned LCBO as a catch-all for Liquor Store, however it actually stands for "Liquor Control Board of Ontario", meaning every province and territory has their own version of LCBO, for example SAQ for Quebec!

As a Canadian, I have to correct you that we use TIME to measure distance 😝 (e.g. 2-hour drive)

@backtraxxretrotv3487 Жыл бұрын

Apart from lightyears, we do NOT use time to measure distance. We use km or m. Time quantifies how long it takes to cover a said distance. For ex. km per hour (km/h) or m per second (m/s). We often use expressions such as "That place is six hours from here". This simply indicates that, in general terms, most people can cover the distance from one destination to another (km, m) in a certain time, travelling at a certain speed. Time lets people know how long the trip takes, but not the actual distance.

Hi Jen. The measurement in Brazil is the metric system. We no longer use the imperial system. When I started working in the 90's that we could see some equipment and measurements of the imperial system, but nowadays, it's almost impossible to see the imperial system. I am an engineer, and I know how to use both systems, and I can say that the metric system is easier than the imperial system. The metric system is much better. In the 1800s, several different measurement units were used in Brazil to measure quantities, including length, mass, area and capacity, as these units were derived from Portugal and had significant local variations. In 1814, as part of the Portuguese Empire, Brazil adopted the new Portuguese metric system based on the original metric system and its unit with traditional Portuguese names. However, this system was not widely adopted and was soon abandoned, with traditional Portuguese units continuing to be used. In 1862, the International Metric System finally became mandatory in Brazil.

Before metric, the British Imperial measures used in Canada were not the same as the American units. Imperial Gallons had 4 Imperial 40 oz quarts in them or 160 oz. The American gallon has 4 US 32 oz quarts in them for 132 oz. Although named the same, the Imperial & US liquid measures were not the same. Canadians would calculate gas mileage as miles per gallon. Under metric gas "mileage" is calculated as litres per 100 kilometres.

😅 I was born and raised in Canada, yet I actually do find it confusing. Especially grocery shopping where they advertise the price of produce in lbs, but then charge for it in kgs at the register 🫤. I've spent several years as an adult living abroad and think it is so much more simple to use just one system of measurement. Metric is soooo much better than imperial. I also work with a lot of immigrants to Canada and like me, they find it so odd that so many Canadians measure distance in km, but then their height in ft. 😆 Unless someone is in construction / architecture or is involved with trading with the USA, I honestly feel we should just stick with metric. 🤷‍♀️

Hello ☀️. Thanks for sharing about your experiences with measurement in 🇨🇦 . I am sorry for the inconveniences you had while visiting here. Even as a Canadian I have to double check the price of things when I am shopping and look out for the deceptive practice of advertising sales per lb and then charging per kg. Most cars have both km / hour and miles / hour on the speedometer, so I am surprised that the car you rented from the USA didn't. That would make driving very difficult. However, I am glad that you were able to drive safely and not get any tickets while you were here 🚗 . I wish we used only the metric system here so it would be easier for everyone visiting. Just as you and many others have mentioned, you use the metric system in your country... I hope we will stop mixing the old imperial system into things here. 📏

@@JeNsJyugyou - It does make sense. There is no intrinsic value in requiring that structural lumber be dimensioned in whole inches. The inch unit is much older than the lumber industry. We use the term 2x4 as the nominal dimension because it is easy to say. Actual sizes used to vary considerably, because of shrinkage during drying, planing, and just because of regional custom. In the 1920s, the lumber industry decided to standardize the sizes of finished lumber nationwide (or North American wide) to simplify construction. At that time the 2x4 was a little larger than it is today. The current sizes date from the 1964 revision of the standard, which is likely to remain where it is. The ideal size for a 2x4 is a size which is strong enough for its intended purpose, but not so large as to be wasteful of wood.
