Word origin

产量 (chǎnliàng, "production") combines 产 (chǎn, "produce") with 量 (liàng, "amount") to name the amount produced.

Usage tips

  • English speakers may hear production as an activity, but this word measures the amount made, so it works naturally with a period such as a quarter and with rises or falls.
