Interesting, thanks. It's not familiar to me in my South-Western corner of central Europe. I'll have to ask my Czech friend if it's familiar to him.

Am from Hungary, can confirm, all recipes say decagram here.

It also makes sense in a way, you usually don't eat either kilograms or grams of anything really.

Like you go to the butcher and you won't ask for 213 grams of meat, or 5 kilos, you ask for 15 decagrams.

Thank you for the datapoint! Exactly like my Czech friend said as well.

It makes a lot of sense to me, that you would put a floor on the precision like that.

We often have the question at the counter, like "It's a few grams over, is that still okay, or should I take some off?".

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 hours ago

Yeah, us too, just in good Hungarian fashion, that whole sentence is one word.

He got back to me really fast. He says yes!

Yes, you go to shop. To buy a ham for example. And here you fully just say: "10 deka of this"

He also gave me this song text (Michal Tučný - Prodavač with the chorus at 0:41):

Pět deka, deset deka, dvacet deka, třicet deka,
kilo chleba, kilo cukru, jeden rohlík, jedna veka,
všechno máme, co kdo chcete,
obchod kvete, jen si račte říct.
Čtyři kila, deset kilo, dvacet kilo, třicet kilo,
navážíme, zabalíme, klaníme se, to by bylo,
prosím pěkně, mohu nechat o jedenáct deka víc?

He also said ordering meat by the gram at the counter sounds super posh and overly precise to him, while it's just normal for me, very cool!
