B1 noun

le kilo

When discussing quantities in French, le kilo is a fundamental unit, equivalent to a kilogram in English. It's commonly used for groceries, especially produce, meat, and cheese. For example, if you're at the market, you might ask for un kilo de pommes (a kilo of apples) or deux kilos de pommes de terre (two kilos of potatoes). Remember that while 'kilo' is often used informally in English, in French, it's the standard, formal term for kilogram in everyday contexts.
