Quintal

The quintal or centner is a historical unit of mass in many countries which is usually defined as 100 base units, such as pounds or kilograms. It is a traditional unit of weight in France, Portugal, and Spain and their former colonies. It is commonly used for grain prices in wholesale markets in Ethiopia and India, where 1 quintal = 100 kg.

In British English, it referred to the hundredweight; in American English, it formerly referred to an uncommon measure of 100 kilograms.

Languages drawing its cognate name for the weight from Romance languages include French, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish quintal, Italian quintale, Esperanto kvintalo, Polish kwintal. Languages taking their cognates from Germanicized centner include the German Zentner, Lithuanian centneris, Swedish centner, Polish cetnar, Russian and Ukrainian центнер (tsentner), Estonian tsentner and Spanish centena.

Many European languages have come to translate both the imperial and American hundredweight as their cognate form of quintal or centner.

3. A finales de julio del año pasado acababa una comida con Harguindey y con Marta Donada; era desapacible en Madrid, él no quería ayuda, volvería a casa solo; pero una intuición que procedía de su mirada, huidiza y perpleja, como si le hubiera caído encima un quintal de melancolía, hizo que pensáramos que se quería ir solo porque ya se quería ir solo; fue un ermitaño, lo fue; durante años vivió en el subsuelo en el que vive la claridad de los genios, pero surgió a la superficie, salió a plazas, recibió premios y se sometió a saraos.
