ml
The English abbreviation 'ml' is written as ml in French to represent milliliter, a unit of liquid volume.
In French, ml is used as the standard abbreviation for the unit of measurement millilitre. In other contexts, the English acronym 'ML' might be thought of as 'Machine Learning', which is formally translated as apprentissage automatique in French.
Did you know?
- In French culinary measurements, you will often see the unit cl (centilitre) used instead of ml, especially for wine and spirits.
- The word litre was originally defined by the French Academy in 1795 as the volume of one cubic decimeter of water at the freezing point.
- In formal French typography, a non-breaking space is often required between the number and the unit ml, such as in 50 ml, to prevent the unit from being separated from its value at the end of a line.
