Mass is the space that an object takes up, inertia is the amount of energy it takes to cause a mass to move.

Inertia is the force required to change an objects direction or speed. Mass is the amount of matter w/in an object

i think the best answer will be that
due to mass inertia produces in a body
both are the properrty of a matter but one property (inertia) depends on the other property that is mass

Inertia is a concept.
It relates to the tendency of a body to remain in constant motion unless acted on by a force.
Its measure is momentum, which is linearly dependent on inertial mass.
The other measure of mass is of course that involved in the gravitational force. Again, the proportionality is linear in gravitational mass.
It is now well established that there is no difference between inertial and gravitational mass.

inertia is the reluctance of a body to change its state while mass is the quantity of matter a body contains.
Inertia depends on the mass...teh greater the mass the greater is the inertia..

inertia- is the ability of a body to continue motion unless a given body pose to stop it
mass- is the quantity of a given body. it is different from weight co'z weight directly proportional to the gravitational pull of a body in which another body is relative with

mass is a measure of size/weight
inertia is a measure of speed/momentum
