Milli means 1/1000. So when you look at a metrestick, you will see 1000 millimetres on it. Beware though, some only mark by centimetres, in which there will be 100cm. This is because there are 10 millimetres in every centimetre and if you have 100cm and each is 10 millimetres, then 100*10 is 1000 millimetres.
