How to say "gram" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- nounThe normal word for the metric unit of weight, as in weighing food or goods. It is a loanword usually written in kana alone, and it is the choice learners should make in everyday contexts.
- ＧジーnounAn abbreviation for gram that is less common than グラム. It is essentially a written shorthand rather than the word you would say, so it is seldom the word you want in ordinary usage.
Use 「グラム」 for the unit of weight in almost all contexts; Ｇ is an uncommon abbreviation that appears mainly in technical or written contexts.
