Some quantities are such by their inner nature (as number), while others are functioning as states (properties, dimensions, attributes) of things such as heavy and light, long and short, broad and narrow, small and great, or much and little.
Neki kvantiteti su takvi po prirodi (kao brojevi) dok drugi funkcionišu kao stanja (osobine, dimenzije, atributi) stvari kao što su teško i lako, dugačko i kratko, široko i usko, veliko i malo, mnogo ili malo.
