Teaspoon (Metric): in the metric system, the teaspoon is not a standardized unit of volume. The metric system primarily uses the liter and its subunits, such as milliliters, for measuring volume. However, in culinary contexts, especially in recipes, people might refer to a "teaspoon" for convenience, as 1 metric teaspoon is often considered to be roughly equivalent to 5 milliliters.
Liter: a unit of volume in the metric system. It is commonly abbreviated as "L" and is equal to 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm3) or one cubic decimeter (dm3). The liter is used to measure the volume of liquids and is widely employed in everyday life, science, and industry.
