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 can be measured in milliliters?
volume of liquid
How do you measure the liquid kind of volume?
Liquid kind of volume is measured in liters. It can also be measured in kiloliters , centiliters, milliliters etc.
What do you call a measure of liquid?
A measure of liquid is called volume. It typically refers to the amount of space that a liquid occupies, and can be measured in units like milliliters or liters.
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?
Both liquid and solid volume are typically measured in cubic units, such as cubic meters or cubic centimeters. The difference lies in how the volume is calculated: for liquids, it can be directly measured by pouring into a container, while for solids it involves calculating the volume based on its dimensions.
Which two physical quantities must be measured in order to determine the density of a liquid?
To determine the density of a liquid, two physical quantities that must be measured are the mass of the liquid and the volume of the liquid. Density is calculated by dividing the mass of the liquid by its volume.
What is the basic metric for liquid?
The basic metric for liquid is volume, which is typically measured in units such as liters (L) or milliliters (mL). This measurement indicates the amount of space that the liquid occupies.
Liquid volume should be measured in what?
with measuring tools
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)
