metric unit of mass

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

Muundo wa matumizi: [number] grams of [uncountable noun]
Kosa la kawaida:
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'.
Visawe
g (The standard written abbreviation used especially in scientific texts and on packaging.)
Vinyume
kilogram (A related unit that is one thousand times larger, sometimes contrasted with grams when talking about small versus large masses.)
Miunganiko ya maneno
grams of sugar |a few grams |100 grams |per gram |grams of protein |grams of fat

science |math |food |daily life |education

Kosa la kawaida:

Visawe
Instagram (The full, standard name of the platform; neutral and appropriate in all contexts.)
Vinyume
offline (Refers to life away from the internet or social media, contrasted with activity on the gram.)

on the gram |post it on the gram |big on the gram |famous on the gram |follow me on the gram |blow up on the gram

pulse seed used as food

A small dried seed from a plant like chickpea, used in Indian and South Asian food.

Muundo wa matumizi: [someone] cooks gram with [ingredient]
Kosa la kawaida:
Learners outside South Asia may not recognize this meaning and may confuse it with the unit of weight. In many contexts in Indian English, 'gram' alone can mean chickpeas or similar pulses, especially when talking about food or farming.
Visawe
chickpea (The most common specific type of gram in English; 'gram' can also refer more broadly to several related pulses in South Asian English.)
Vinyume
meat (Not a true antonym, but often contrasted with gram as an animal versus plant source of protein.)
Miunganiko ya maneno
black gram |green gram |Bengal gram |roasted gram |gram flour |soak the gram

telegram (old short form)

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

Kosa la kawaida:

Visawe
telegram (The full standard word; 'gram' was a clipped informal form and is now rare and dated.)
Vinyume
phone call (A common modern way to send a spoken message instantly, contrasting with the older, written telegraph gram.)
