dbo:abstract
  • Bag je pomocná jednotka vyjadřující množství zboží, plodiny nebo suroviny, které se vyjadřuje v jednotkách hmotnosti. V češtině by tomuto slovu nejlépe odpovídalo slovo žok nebo i pytel, v angličtině třeba sack, což je zdejší jednotka užívaná pro uhlí. Jednotka jako taková nemá pevně stanovené hodnoty, liší se nejen podle místa, ale i podle komodity respektive druhu zboží. (cs)
