FIL: Isang yunit ng timbang na katumbas ng humigit-kumulang 28.35 gramo, na hango sa sistemang imperyal.
EN: ounce
That unit of measurement you only hear about when your lola is talking about buying gold jewelry or when you're trying to follow an old recipe that hasn't converted to metric yet. It’s the Tita of measurements—a bit old-fashioned but still shows up at important events.
From Spanish 'onza' (ounce).
Not common in everyday conversation, which primarily uses the metric system (grams, kilograms). Most often used in specific contexts like jewelry or baking.
