Definition: The word "vol" has a specific meaning in German, which it used to denote small amounts or fragments. A vol is a small amount (e.g. a piece of cheese), or the smallest part (e.g. a grain) of something that makes up the whole. It can also be used as an adjective and describes items with a small size. For example, in "The milk was a little bit too dry for me," it could be interpreted as: "the milk was a very small amount of liquid."
