How to Say "gram" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “gram” is “gramo” — A2 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.

Always Masculine
Even though it ends in 'o', it's helpful to remember that almost all units of measurement in Spanish are masculine. You should always use 'el' or 'un' with gramo.
Pluralization
To talk about more than one, simply add an 's' to make 'gramos'. This is just like adding 's' in English.
Gramo vs. Grama
Mistake: “La grama de azúcar.”
Correction: El gramo de azúcar. 'La grama' actually means a specific type of lawn grass, so confusing the two might make people think you're eating your yard!
