I always translate "quart" as ربع غالون and "pint" as ثــُمْن غالون

I would just say the equivalent in millilitres because that's the known measuring system in Arabic.
Or you could say approximately quarter of a litre.

| Thanks. The thing is that we find for example غرام in the Arabic Arabic dictionary, but this باينت is not mentioned. I'll go for it since it's the only thing acceptable now Thanks again for your effort. |
