Scale:
- to scale(v): -caculate the amount of heavy of something..Ex: To scale 10 kilograms...
................- climp
.etc.....
- scale(n): - a thing we use to caculate our weight by ourselves.
.............- the level, size of something. Ex: scale map....etc...
.etc....

Weight:
- to weight(v): -make something or someone more heavy... :shock:
..................- make sure
- weight(n): -the amount of heavy of something or someone
...............- a heavy thing make by solid metal. Ex: Weight-lifting..
