Unlike with other measures, area ([[biexnzeg]]) continues to be almost exclusively measured with traditional rather than SI units. The principal unit for measuring the floorspace of an office or apartment, the [[pvee (tan'ui)|pvee]] derives from the Japanese ''tsubo''. Taiwanese units of land measurement derive from both traditional Dutch and Japanese measurements. The principal unit of land measure, the [[kaq (tan'ui)|kaq]], derives from the obsolete Dutch unit of measure ''morgen'', which was introduced in Taiwan's era of Dutch colonization; or from the Dutch word for "field", ''akker''. The ''[[lee (tan'ui)|lee]]'' represented the area that could be farmed by one man with one head of oxen and one plow.
