It depends on how much liquid (by eying it up) and what accuracy you want in your reading.
In a lab, if you are dealing with between 1 and 10ml, you can use a graduated pipette (this is more accurate than a graduated cylinder).
If smaller than 1ml, you could use a micropipette or a microsyringe (micropipette better).
If larger than 10ml, you may be able to find a graduated pipette that goes above 10ml but they are uncommon in standard labs.
In this case, you would use a graduated cylinder (beaker graduations are very misleading and are error prone)
If you have a graduated cylinder, beaker, measuring cup, etc. feel free to use that. Sometimes when using a graduated cylinder or beaker the liquid will have a dip. It might look kind of like a trampoline that's being stepped on (although it can also be upside down). This is called a meniscus. If there is a meniscus, always take the measurement of the tip of the curve.
If you don't have one of those tools you can take the measurement of the volume like length*width*height (depending on the shape of the container). If you can get this volume in cubic centimeters, one cubic centimeter is equal to a millimeter.

In chemical laboratories frequently are used pipettes, syringes and burettes.
Some delivering systems are very sensible, down to 1 microlitre.

What do you call a measure of liquid?
The measure of a liquid is its volume. Volume is measured in litres, smaller volumes are millilitres, and larger are cubic metres.
What is the volume of a liquid measured with?
a graduated cylinder
What is the volume of a liugid?
The volume of a liquid is what is measured in a graduated cylinder in milliliters.
What is the relationship between the units of measurement for the volume of a liquid and of a solid liquid?
well a liquid cannot be a solid but i will interpret the question as this: what is the relationship between the units of measurement for the volume of a liquid and a solid? liquid volume- measured in mL solid volume- measured in cm cubed 1 mL=1cm cubed
Liquid volume should be measured in what?
with measuring tools
What is the volume of liquid remaining when the egg is removed from the syrup?
The measured volume decreases by the volume of the egg. However, the volume of just the liquid never changes.
What would you use to measure the liquid volume in a teacup?
This volume can be measured in millilitres.
What is the metric liquid volume of a sink?
The metric volume of a sink would be measured in litres.
What unit of volume usually measured in?
The volume of a liquid is usually measured in Litres (L), millilitres (ml) or cubic centimeters (cm3)
