Measurements

In Iceland they use the metric system. I mean they really use it. In Canada, at least in Western Canada, everyone still uses Imperial and metric is only for school. Here is it everywhere.

These words are mostly easy.

lítre is liter
desílítri is desaliter (I had never even heard of that before I moves, so the spelling is definatly wrong)
teskeið is teaspoon
matskeið is tablesploon
þyngd is weight
kílo is kilo (easy)
gramm is gram
lengð is length
kílómetri is kilometer
metri is meter
