Response in English: The metric system is an international decimal-based system of measurement that uses standardized units to express quantities such as length, mass, volume, and temperature. Its most widely used units are the meter for length, the kilogram for mass, the liter for volume, and the degree Celsius for temperature. The system is based on multiples of ten, making it easy to convert between larger and smaller units by simply moving the decimal point. The metric system, also known as the International System of Units SI, has been adopted by most countries worldwide as their official system of measurement. .

Liyuniti tsa eona tse sebelisoang haholo ke metara ka bolelele, kilogram bakeng sa boima, lithara bakeng sa molumo, le likhato tsa Celsius bakeng sa mocheso. Sistimi e ipapisitse le li-multiples tsa leshome, ho etsa hore ho be bonolo ho fetolela lipakeng tse kholo le tse nyane ka ho tsamaisa ntlha ea decimal. Sistimi ea meteriki, e tsejoang hape ka hore ke International System of Units SI, e amohetsoe ke linaha tse ngata lefatseng ka bophara e le mokhoa oa tsona oa molao oa ho metha.
