Thread: девять граммов или девять грамм?

750 граммов изюма
Not 750 грамм изюм
And I'm inclined to agree with Paul G, 750 граммов is the most correct way
750 грамм... yeah, people say so here, but that doesn't mean they're right. I would personally say 9 граммов, 750 граммов, not грамм

D'oh! (I mean about the ending of изюм. I forgot that it's masculine, and a singular "mass" noun, even though "raisins" is plural in English.)

So, in short, you would recommend граммов in speech, too, and not only in writing?

A lot of people say грамм... i'd say it's 50/50, here where i live i always hear грамм...

the following is the quote from Популярный словарь русского языка. Толково-энциклопедический. © «Русский язык-Медиа», 2003, Гуськова А.П., Сотин Б.В. 5 тыс. статей.

Форма родительного падежа множественного числа граммов используется преимущественно в письменной речи, а форма грамм - в устной (после числительных).
Возьмем 5 граммов вещества. Выпить 100 грамм водки.

people use both variants for sure, it depends much on the context (what is to be measured, substance in question, etc....)
