Examples
As you can see in the following examples, words like litra (liter) – kilogram – žlica (spoon) – šalica (cup) can indicate any relationship. For example, one liter of juice – half of liter of water – two liters of water.

| jedna litra čaja | pola litre čaja | dvije litre čaja |
| jedan kilogram mesa | pola kilograma mesa | dva kilograma mesa |
| jedna žlica šećera | pola žlice šećera | dvije žlice šećera |
| jedna šalica kave | pola šalice kave | dvije šalice kave |
