Pro Tip 1/3Specific Context
Use 'quantify' in academic or formal research settings where precision in numbers is important.
The study quantifies the benefits of a balanced diet.
Pro Tip 2/3Not Estimating
'Quantify' implies exactness, not rough estimates or guesses.
The survey tried to quantify the number of affected individuals.
Pro Tip 3/3Objective Measurement

Now, you can be forgiven, perhaps for thinking that the arguments that precede a marital breakup are not an ideal candidate for mathematical investigation. For one thing, it's very hard to know what you should be measuring or what you should be quantifying.

Well, it's hard to quantify, but it certainly exists.

As post-Enlightenment creatures, we tend to assume that scientific thinking holds the key to everything of importance in our world, but the world of value is different from the world of science. The stuff of the one world can be quantified by real numbers. The stuff of the other world can't.

the slower it moves through time compared to an unmoving observer. This relationship can be quantified with something called the Lorentz factor, which is defined by this equation. And secondly, the length of a moving object as measured by an observer at rest will contract by the same factor.

So when we're experiencing success, it's important to take a moment to really ask ourselves how much of it is truly down to us, because our egos love to downplay the luck factor when we're winning. Now, a second thing poker taught me is the importance of quantifying my thinking.

Robert Redford
American Actor
It felt to me like America was always wanting to resolve things too quickly, without thinking through what the costs and consequences would be and how that affects an individual living in that world. Then as I grew up and went about my life, I think I just got more and more interested in that gray area where things are not so easily quantified.
Quote examples
Ron Rivera
American Coach
The numbers are there just to help you - at the end of the day you've still got to make the decision. There are certain things the numbers can't quantify: They can't quantify injuries, they can't quantify the weather, they can't give you a number on whether the referee's going to make a good call or a bad call.

I still miss qualities of Khmer life that are hard to quantify: the slow, sensual pace, the hovering presence of the past, the vast skies filled with terrifying and beautiful butts. And, of course, the food.

Life has taught me to be very cautious of a man with a dream, especially a man who has teetered on the edge of life. It gives a fire and recklessness inside that is hard to quantify.

I naively thought that we could have a molecular definition for life, come up with a set of genes that would minimally define life. Nature just refuses to be so easily quantified.
