Definition
重量 (zhòng liàng) is the general term for the weight of an object, measured in units like kilograms. It's distinct from 体重 (tǐ zhòng, HSK4), which specifically means body weight (of a person or animal). 分量 (fèn liàng, HSK7) often refers to the weight of a portion or portion size, and can also mean figurative weight or influence.
