"It is approximately five meters."

[Rekty]

If I understand well, meters, euros, etc. are uncountable in dutch? Twee euro, vijf meter, etc. without s or any plural indicator.

Yep. Vijf euro, twintig meter, acht jaar etc.

So annoying how every language considers those things differently!

But as the plural exits, in which cases is it used? Only when "meter" actually means a device for measuring something, as in gasmeter or snelheidsmeter?
