Usage Note

Quantificare is used in scientific, economic, and bureaucratic prose; it takes avere as its auxiliary. A natural alternative in everyday speech is misurare or simply calcolare. The noun quantificazione (quantification) is equally formal. Avoid confusing it with qualificare (to qualify/certify), which differs by one vowel.

Examples

"È difficile quantificare i danni dell'alluvione."
