metric unit of mass

A small unit for weight in the metric system, equal to one thousandth of a kilogram.

תבנית שימוש: [number] grams of [uncountable noun]
טעות נפוצה:
Learners sometimes confuse 'gram' with 'gramme' or 'g'. In modern international English, 'gram' and the abbreviation 'g' are most common; 'gramme' is mainly a British historical spelling. Also, do not say 'gram of sugars' for a total amount on labels; use 'grams of sugar'.
מילים נרדפות
g (The standard written abbreviation used especially in scientific texts and on packaging.)

תבנית שימוש: [someone] cooks gram with [ingredient]

מילים נרדפות
chickpea (The most common specific type of gram in English; 'gram' can also refer more broadly to several related pulses in South Asian English.)

telegram (old short form)

An old short word for a telegram, a written message people sent long ago by telegraph.

תבנית שימוש: [someone] sends a gram to [someone]
טעות נפוצה:
Learners may think this meaning is still common because it appears in older books and movies. In modern English, 'gram' for 'telegram' is very rare and sounds old-fashioned; in everyday speech people now use 'message', 'text', 'email', or 'call' instead.
מילים נרדפות
telegram (The full standard word; 'gram' was a clipped informal form and is now rare and dated.)
הפכים
phone call (A common modern way to send a spoken message instantly, contrasting with the older, written telegraph gram.)
