объем info.

– Tips to remember the Russian word:
– Think of the English word "oboe" (a musical instrument) that has a similar starting sound.
– Visualize a container with something filled to the brim; "объём" sounds like "ob-yom", and it might remind you of the 'oom' you're saying when you get surprised by the volume.

– Explanations:
– The word "объем" means volume, both in terms of space occupied (like the volume of a container) or the amount of material (like the volume of a book).
– It can also refer to the magnitude or extent of something (like the volume of work or data).

– Other words that mean the same thing:
– Вместимость (vmestimost') – capacity
– Масса (massa) – mass (only in certain contexts)
– Емкость (yemkost') – capacity (often for containers)

– Alternate meanings like slang:
– In a certain context, "объем" can also refer metaphorically to the importance or scale of a task or project.
