The measures of the old Romanian system varied greatly not only between the three Romanian states (Wallachia, Moldavia, Transylvania), but sometimes also inside the same country. The origin of some of the measures are the Latin (such as ''iugăr'' unit), Slavic (such as ''vadră'' unit), Greek (such as ''dram'' unit) and Turkish (such as ''palmac'' unit) systems. This system is no longer in wide use since the adoption of the metric system in 1864, however some rural communities still use a small subset of these units. ==Length== * ''Palmă'' (palm) - 1/8 of a ''stânjen'' * ''Stânjen'' - 2 m (approximately) * ''Palmac'' - 3.48 cm (Moldavia) * ''Poştă'' - 8–20 km (depending on the country) * ''Pas mic'' (small step) - 4 ''palme'' (Wallachia) (palme is the plural noun for palmă) * ''Pas mare'' (large step) - 6 ''palme'' (Wallachia; Moldavia) * ''Lat de palmă'' (palm width) - 1/2 ''palmă'' * ''Cot'' (cubit) - 664 mm (Moldavia); 637 mm (Wallachia) * ''Funie'' (rope) - 20–120 m (depending on the place) * ''Leghe'' (league) - 4.444 km; * ''Deget'' (finger) - the width of a finger * ''Prăjină'' - 3 ''stânjeni'' (stânjeni is the plural noun for stânjen) * ''Verstă'' - 1067 m (3,500 ft) * ''Picior'' (foot) - 1/6 of a ''stânjen'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Romanian units of measurement」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
