1
relating to poetic or musical meter
About the pattern of strong and weak beats in a poem or sometimes in music.
Corak penggunaan:
[something] is metrical / the metrical pattern of [something]
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners often confuse "metrical" with "metric". In poetry and music, "metrical" is more common for talking about patterns of beats in verse, while "metric" is used more broadly in fields like mathematics, statistics, or project management.
Sinonim
metric (Used in prosody with a similar meaning, but also widely used in other fields like mathematics and data analysis.)
|
rhythmic (More general; can refer to any kind of rhythm, not specifically the formal meter of verse.)
Antonim
unmetrical (Describes verse that does not follow a regular metrical pattern.)

written in verse with meter
Written as poetry with a regular beat, not as normal prose writing.
Corak penggunaan:
[something] is a metrical [poem / version / translation]
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners may think "metrical" here simply means "musical". It specifically means that the words are arranged in regular poetic lines with a repeating beat, even if there is no melody.
Sinonim
verse (Used attributively (e.g., "a verse translation"); emphasizes that something is in verse, without directly mentioning meter.)
|
metricalized (Specialized; stresses that prose has been turned into metrical verse.)
Antonim
prose (Describes writing that is not in verse and does not follow a regular metrical pattern.)

relating to systems of measurement
About systems or units of measurement, especially the metric system with meters, liters, and grams.
Corak penggunaan:
[something] uses metrical units / metrical measurements
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners usually say "metric" instead of "metrical" for this meaning, which is correct in modern English. "Metrical" in this sense is rare and can sound old-fashioned or overly technical.
Sinonim
metric (Standard modern choice in this sense; "metrical" sounds older or more formal and is much less common.)
Antonim
imperial (Refers to the non-metric system of measurement used in some countries, contrasting with metrical/metric systems.)
