The metric measurement used to measure liquid is the liter (L).

Here are some common subdivisions of a liter:

* Milliliter (mL): 1,000 milliliters equal 1 liter.

* Centiliter (cL): 100 centiliters equal 1 liter.

* Deciliter (dL): 10 deciliters equal 1 liter.

You'll often see these measurements used on containers like bottles, jugs, and graduated cylinders.
