minus-squareLvxferre@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI’m from Brazil but I think that the units were the same anyway. The ones that I recall are (note: approximated values) tonelada (ton) - 800kg arroba - 15kg. Nowadays the word mostly refers to the “@” sign, that used to be the unit’s symbol arrátel (pound) - 450g onça (ounce) - 30g milha (mile) - 1.8km vara (rod) - 1.1m pé (foot) - 33cm polegada (inch) - 2.5cm I don’t recall the volume units, but I don’t expect them to be too different from the anglo units.
