(While 'cantidad' can imply a measurable concept, the English equivalent lacks the same inherent suggestion of being specifically quantifiable.)
The property or characteristic of something that can be measured or counted, indicating how much or how many there are of it. It can refer to a specific measure (an amount, a quantity, a number, or a volume) or to the general concept of measurement itself. Although English uses terms like 'amount' or 'quantity', 'cantidad' can sometimes encompass the abstract notion of 'measurability' more broadly than its direct English equivalents.
