When you want to express the action of finding out the size, amount, or degree of something, use 測る (hakaru). It’s often used for things like measuring height, weight, or distance. For example, you might 測る your height, or 測る the length of a room.
§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
The Japanese verb 測る (はかる - hakaru) generally means 'to measure'. It's a versatile verb you'll hear and use a lot in daily conversation. While English uses 'measure' for many things, Japanese often uses different kanji for hakaru depending on what exactly is being measured. This lesson focuses on the general use of 測る, which typically involves physical measurements like length, weight, or temperature.
Think about everyday situations where you might measure something. Are you measuring ingredients for a recipe? Are you measuring your height or weight? Or perhaps the size of a room? In all these cases, 測る is the verb you'll reach for. It's about getting a precise reading or a quantifiable value for something.
- DEFINITION
- To determine the size, amount, or degree of something by using an instrument or by comparing it with a standard.
Let's look at some common scenarios where 測る is used:
- Measuring physical dimensions: This includes things like length, width, height, and depth. If you're using a ruler, tape measure, or even your hand span to get an idea of size, you're using 測る.
- Measuring weight: When you step on a scale or weigh ingredients for cooking, 測る is the verb.
- Measuring temperature: Checking your body temperature, the room temperature, or the temperature of water all use 測る.
- Measuring time: While there are other ways to say 'time something', 測る can be used when you're specifically clocking an event or duration with a stopwatch.
- Measuring distance: Similar to physical dimensions, when you're calculating the distance between two points, 測る is appropriate.
It's important to remember that context often helps clarify what kind of measurement is taking place. However, for a beginner, knowing that 測る is the go-to verb for 'to measure' in a broad sense is a great start. Don't worry too much about the other kanji versions of 'hakaru' (like 計る or 量る) yet. For now, focus on 測る as your primary verb for 'to measure'.
Let's look at a couple of examples to see it in action:
身長を測る。(Shincho o hakaru.)
Hint: 身長 (shincho) means 'height'. So, this sentence means 'to measure one's height'.
体重を測る。(Taiju o hakaru.)
Hint: 体重 (taiju) means 'body weight'. This sentence translates to 'to measure one's body weight'.
As you can see, 測る is quite straightforward. It directly attaches to the thing being measured (marked by the object particle を 'o'). When you encounter it, think 'measure' and you'll usually be right.
§ Understanding 測る (hakaru)
Let's talk about 測る (hakaru), a common verb you'll hear and use a lot in Japanese. It means 'to measure'. Simple, right? But like many words, there are nuances. Think about measuring height, weight, time, or distance – 測る covers them all.
- Japanese Word
- 測る (hakaru)
- Definition
- to measure
§ Basic Usage: What do you measure?
The most straightforward way to use 測る is with the direct object particle を (o) to indicate what you are measuring.
身長を測る。(Shincho o hakaru.)
- Hint
- To measure height.
時間を測る。(Jikan o hakaru.)
- Hint
- To measure time.
体重を測る。(Taijuu o hakaru.)
- Hint
- To measure weight.
§ How to say 'I measured...' or 'Let's measure...'
Just like other Japanese verbs, you can conjugate 測る to fit your needs. Here are a few common forms:
- Past tense: 測った (hakatta - measured)
- Polite form: 測ります (hakarimasu - measure/will measure)
- Polite past tense: 測りました (hakarimashita - measured)
- Te-form: 測って (hakatte - measuring, or for connecting clauses)
- Volitional form: 測ろう (hakarou - let's measure)
熱を測りました。(Netsu o hakarimashita.)
- Hint
- I measured my temperature.
部屋の広さを測ろう。(Heya no hirosa o hakarou.)
- Hint
- Let's measure the size of the room.
§ Instruments for Measuring: を使って (o tsukatte)
If you want to specify what you used to measure something, you can use the structure 「[Instrument] を使って [Object] を測る」 (o tsukatte... o hakaru - using [instrument] to measure [object]).
定規を使って長さを測る。(Jougi o tsukatte nagasa o hakaru.)
- Hint
- To measure the length using a ruler.
体重計を使って体重を測りましょう。(Taijuu-kei o tsukatte taijuu o hakarimashou.)
- Hint
- Let's measure our weight using a scale.
Alternatively, you can use the particle で (de) to indicate the tool or means by which something is done, without explicitly saying 'using'.
メジャーで長さを測る。(Mejaa de nagasa o hakaru.)
- Hint
- To measure the length with a measuring tape.
§ Related Verbs: はかる (hakaru) with different kanji
This is where it gets interesting! There are other verbs pronounced 'hakaru' but with different kanji, and they mean different things. It's important to keep them straight. While they sound the same, their meanings are distinct.
- 量る (hakaru): This often refers to measuring volume, weight, or quantity, especially when using a scale or similar device. Think ingredients in cooking.
- 計る (hakaru): This usually refers to measuring time or counting. Think timers and clocks.
For most general measurements like height, distance, or temperature, 測る (hakaru) is your go-to. If you're weighing flour for a cake, 量る (hakaru) is more appropriate. If you're timing a race, 計る (hakaru) is the one to use.
§ Practice Sentences
Here are a few more examples to help you get the hang of 測る in different contexts.
エンジニアが橋の長さを測っています。(Enjinia ga hashi no nagasa o hakatteimasu.)
- Hint
- The engineer is measuring the length of the bridge.
彼の体温は38度を測った。(Kare no taion wa sanjuuhachi-do o hakatta.)
- Hint
- His body temperature measured 38 degrees.
Keep practicing with 測る and pay attention to its usage in various contexts. You'll master it in no time!
نکته جالب
The kanji 測 combines the 'water' radical (氵) with 'side' (則), suggesting 'measuring water levels' or 'using a rule/side to measure'.

The sentence means 'He measured the size of the room.' '測る' (hakaru) means 'to measure'. The past tense form '測った' fits here.
Which sentence correctly uses '測る'?
'測る' is used for measuring physical quantities like weight, height, or distance. While you can measure the amount of water or the duration of time, '測る' is most directly associated with physical dimensions or abstract concepts like time or speed. Among the options, '体重を測る' is a very common and direct use. '時間を測る' also fits, but the provided options can be interpreted in various ways. Let's re-evaluate: '測る' is often used for weight, height, temperature, etc. '時間を測る' is also correct. However, for a single best answer, '体重を測る' is a clear and direct example of '測る' applied to a physical measurement often performed by humans. Let's adjust to ensure clarity. '時間を測る' is also correct. We need the MOST appropriate. Let's assume the context of directly measuring a physical attribute. '体重を測る' is a very common and unambiguous use.
Select the sentence where '測る' is used incorrectly.
'測る' is typically used for measurable physical quantities or abstract concepts like time and speed. While you might 'gauge' someone's feelings, '測る' is not the natural verb to use for emotions in Japanese. '計る' (hakareru - to weigh, measure time) or '推し量る' (oshihakaru - to guess, surmise) would be more appropriate for feelings.

'測る' (hakaru) is appropriate for measuring physical dimensions like height.
The phrase '夢を測る' (yume o hakaru) meaning 'to measure a dream' is a common and natural Japanese expression.
'夢を測る' is not a natural or common expression. Dreams are not typically 'measured' in the same way physical objects or abstract concepts like time are. You might 'chase' a dream (夢を追う - yume o ou) or 'achieve' a dream (夢を叶える - yume o kanaeru), but not 'measure' it with '測る'.
When measuring the duration of a sporting event, '測る' can be used.
'測る' (hakaru) can be used for measuring time or duration, such as in a sporting event.
