How to Say ‘So five hundred grams each, right?’ in Japanese

五百グラムずつですね。

gohyaku guramu zutsu desu ne

[goh-HYAH-koo GOO-ra-moo ZOO-tsoo dess neh]

💬 Usage Tip: Ending with ですね turns a statement into a check, like "..., right?". It's ideal for repeating back instructions: 十個ですね "ten, right?"

🇯🇵 In Japan: Repeating numbers back to confirm is standard practice in Japanese workplaces. It shows care, not uncertainty.
