7 Volume measurement

For pints, gallons, litres etc. ⇒ Capacity measurement.

Note that French has a comma where English has a decimal point.

1 cu in

= 16,38 cm3

1 cu ft

= 0,03 m3

1 cu yd

= 0,76 m3

There are three ways of saying 16,38 cm3, and other measurements like it: seize virgule trente-huit centimètres cubes or (less formally) seize centimètres cubes virgule trente-huit or seize centimètres cubes trente-huit. For more details on how to say numbers ⇒ Numbers.

what is its volume?

= quel est son volume?

its volume is 200 cubic metres

= ça fait 200 mètres cubes

it’s 200 cubic metres

= ça fait 200 mètres cubes

it’s one metre by two metres by three metres

= ça mesure un mètre sur deux mètres sur trois mètres

sold by the cubic metre

= vendu au mètre cube

A has a greater volume than B

= le volume de A est supérieur à celui de B

B has a smaller volume than A

= le volume de B est inférieur à celui de A

Note the use of de in this construction.

there are a million cubic centimetres in a cubic metre

= il y a un million de centimètres cubes dans un mètre cube

a million cubic centimetres make one cubic metre

= un million de centimètres cubes font un mètre cube

Note the French construction with de, coming after the noun it describes:

a 200-cubic-metre tank

= un réservoir de 200 mètres cubes
