numerical measure of performance
A number or measure that shows how well something is working or how much progress has been made.
استعمال کا انداز:
a metric for [doing something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes think 'metric' only means the metric system of units. In modern business and technology, 'metrics' very often means performance measures, like sales numbers, response times, or error rates. Also, learners may say *'many metric'* instead of the correct plural *'many metrics'*. Use 'metric' for one measure and 'metrics' for several.

relating to the metric system
About the system of measurement that uses meters, liters, and grams.
استعمال کا انداز:
metric [unit]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse 'metric' with 'meter.' 'Metric' describes the whole system (metric units, metric system), while 'meter' is one unit in that system. Also, 'metric system' is standard; phrases like *'meter system'* are incorrect.

mathematical distance function
In higher mathematics, a special rule that gives a distance between any two points in a set and follows fixed rules.
استعمال کا انداز:
define a metric on [a set]
عام غلطی:
Learners may confuse the general English sense of 'metric' (a performance measure) with the strict mathematical definition. In mathematics, a metric must satisfy specific axioms such as symmetry and the triangle inequality; not every kind of 'measurement' is a metric in this technical sense.

non-metric (Used in mathematics to describe a structure or space that does not satisfy the axioms of a metric.)

About the beat or rhythm pattern in a poem.
استعمال کا انداز:
metric [noun]
