A Drop

This has been bothering me for awhile so i thought i'd finally ask. How much is a drop in Novels? sometimes they make it seem like its a literal drop, others it seems like a mouthful. Am i overthinking it or is it just terminology for a small amount of a liquid?

 

???? can you elaborate?

Edit: Do you mean rain?

 

I think drop means they give up on translating some novels

 

People rarely drop a novel .

 

His insights shown to us is like a drop of water from an ocean???

Basically 1/100000000000 is what he has shown

 

It's not about the beat?

 

drop = items
think

 

chinese authors just don't understand logic, period. Don't get me started on how often they say something is "incomparable" like they don't even know the meaning of the word. They also like to say "impossible to imagine" when literally nothing is impossible to imagine, if there's one thing that is undoubtedly limitless it would be the human imagination.

 

Don't forget the overused "Like Night and Day" comparisons...Lazy writing...

 

You are overthinking it.

Unless you have a very small mouth as big as those from small mice then it would be a mouthful.
A drop of water is the same anywhere. Blame the authors for wrong interpretation.

 

I think so he's talking about, the quantity unit ' a drop.'
Like Mr x, grabbed a drop of it and ran away.
Likewise, he had a drop of it.
Or add a drop of it while refining.
A drop of dragon blood integrated in his body.


So I guess, he wants to know whether a drop is a drop or a drop here can be a cupful of liquid...or maybe a spoonful.

 

To be frank I am not sure how much is in a drop.

The drop that the OP is referring to is a drop of blood or a drop of heavy water or whatever the author refers to when using liquids in CN, AFAIK.

 

Pointless to try figure it when authors mess up simple maths sometimes~
Anyway it might differ but 20 drops are 1 ml of Water aprox

 

At first I read it as Usagi Drop, No officer I'm not a lolicon.

 

just think of a drop of blood or a drop of water.

 

@kredding can u explain what u mean with drop pls

 

Oh yeah, that makes sense. If that is what the OP meant then a drop means like a droplet of water in an ocean.

 

Whatever fits the author..... Don't try to make any sense from anything your just going to blow your mind trying to understand.

 

I was thinking along these lines, i think of the amount released in a dropper or pipet. Basically a a drop of whatever liquid.
