-Unlike with other measures, area ([[biexnzeg]]) continues to be almost exclusively measured with traditional rather than SI units. Taiwanese units of land measurement derive from both traditional Dutch and Japanese measurements. The principal unit of land measure, the [[kaq (tan'ui)|kaq]] (阿甲), 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 principal unit for measuring the floorspace of an office or apartment, the [[pheeng]], like the Korean pyeong, derives from the Japanese tsubo (坪), and is the size of two standard-sized [[thathafmiq|tatami]]. The [[løee]] represented the area that could be farmed by one man with one head of oxen and one plow.
