* glass (vessel)
    ett glas mjölka glass of milk
    ett glas safta glass of cordial / squash
    ett vinglasa wine glass
    Glaset föll i golvet och gick i krasThe glass fell to the floor and shattered [I (“in”) as opposed to till (“to”) puts more focus on the impact and often implies an accidental fall, though this is a fairly native-level distinction – can be thought of as a generalization of "fall in the water" and the like. "Falla till golvet" – like in English – isn't wrong either.]

#### Usage notes

* "A glass of X" is "ett glas X" or – less commonly – "ett glas med X" (a glass with X). "Ett glas av mjölk" means "a glass made of milk" (English "of" in that sense).
* Other containers work the same way, for example "två flaskor vin" (two bottles of wine), "en dunk bensin" (a jerry can of gas), and "en tunna potatis" (a barrel of potatoes), as well as some other means of packaging something, like "en rulle hushållspapper" (a roll of kitchen paper).

#### Derived terms

* dricksglas (“drinking glass”)
* glasbruk
* glashytta
* inte spotta i glaset (“to like a drink”)

##### Usage notes

The word glas can be used to cover a much wider range of colours than in English, from green (especially of nature) through blue to slaty grey and silver. In the present day it usually corresponds more closely to English "blue", but is often found in phrases and compound words to convey other colours.
