分量

• ピンイン: fèn liàng
• 漢字の分解: 分 = 八 + 刀 (to divide with a knife — a portion or share); 量 = 里 + 旦 (measure + sunrise — to gauge, to measure)

意味

分量；（言葉・地位の）重み

Most commonly used in its figurative sense to describe the weight or importance of words, decisions, or authority figures. 分量十足 means 'carrying full weight'. In culinary contexts, refers to the generosity of a serving. Distinct from 重量 (physical weight) in that 分量 often implies perceived importance.
