Is tomato salad delicious?
While talking with a friend, it was said that the greenhouse was small this season, only ten kilograms of tomatoes were harvested. He smiled condescendingly at my statement, criticized my Russian language, my literacy. In fact, the phrase corresponded to all the norms of “grammatical art.” In short, the word “tomatoes” sounded artificial.
Ordinary speech situation sometimes becomes ambiguous from the point of view of the strictness of the use of forms of known and used words. Bring two nets of tomatoes or a tomato? Eggplant dish or eggplant? Tangerine or tangerine marmalade?
Which is correct? Similar problems concern not only housewives. Experts assign sections scientific publications discussion of this issue.
Rule for speaking
Folk speech uses the short version with a zero ending, save " language means" Orally they say 320 grams, however, not 320 grams, nine kilograms of eggplant, but not nine kilograms of eggplant. Modern spelling admits that the ending -ov in genitive case For masculine plural nouns, the plural is omitted in informal oral communication.
Rule for writing
When used with numerals, agreed definitions, one should write tomatoes.
How often do we have to pronounce nouns in plural, genitive case. And we pronounce it somehow, without even thinking about whether we pronounce it correctly or not. What if you think about it? Let's look at seven groups of nouns.
1. Name of nationalities. The norm for some nouns of this group is zero inflection (ending). There is no ending “-ov” Bulgarians, Ossetians, English, Mordvins, Romanians, Mohicans, Gypsies, Turks, Turkmen, Buryats, Bashkirs. However, there are three nouns whose norm applies to two variants at once: Karelians - Karelians, Sarmatians-Sarmatians, Yukagir-Yukaghirs. Other nationalities have the ending “-ov” in the plural, genitive case: many Tajiks, Tungus, Uzbeks, Kyrgyz, Kalmyks, Bedouins, Yakuts etc.
2. Names of paired items. They are characterized by zero inflection. Three subgroups can be distinguished here.
1) shoe names: no boot, felt boots, moccasin, boot, leggings, sandal.
2) names of clothes: material for shorts, bloomers, leggings, cuffs.
3) Accessory names: glitter shoulder strap, epaulette.
4) names of objects: target gate.
3. Names of military branches. This group of words happened interesting story. If a noun has collective meaning, then the ending is zero, but when denoting individuals, the inflection “-ov” should be used. For example, exit dragoon, lancer, midshipman, cadet, partisan. But, three dragoons, lancers, midshipmen, cadets. The exception is the word partisans: three partisans. Three exception words have the inflection of “-ov” in any use: call midshipmen, sappers, miners.
4. Product names.
1) products ending in “-ov”: two kilograms apricots, bananas, oranges, tomatoes, tomatoes.
2) zero flexion products: kilogram eggplant, pomegranate; jar sprat.
5. Weights and other measurements.
1) measures with inflection “-ov”: five kilograms, carats, hectares, ergs, cables.
2) measures with zero inflection: one hundred ampere, watt, volt, newton, oersted, coulomb.
3) equal forms: five microns - micron, ohms - ohm, roentgens - roentgen.
6. Names of items: many keychains, bracelets, rails. Equal forms: few cartridges-cartridge.
7. Nouns used more often in the plural form:
1) nouns ending in “-ov”: not enough nerves, criteria, comments, bronchi, couloirs, honeycombs, bots, socks, debates, canned food.
2) nouns with zero inflection: tournament chess.
The attentive reader must have noticed that all of the above nouns are masculine. Indeed, most often incidents occur precisely with masculine. However neuter not far away. All words in this group can be divided into four categories.
1) neuter nouns with the normative ending “-й” in the plural, genitive case: how many outbacks, coasts, drugs.
2) neuter nouns with normative zero inflection: so many shoulders, apples, saucers, towels, mirror.
3) neuter nouns ending in “-ev”: few swamps, laces, upper reaches, lower reaches, leads, troughs, tentacles, blankets, knees, hooves.
4) neuter nouns with a standard fluent vowel at the end: a lot nozzle - nozzle, draft - draft.
A separate group consists of nouns that have only a plural form. There are also four categories here.
1) equal options: sale rake - rake, stilts - stilt; No squeezing - squeezing, vyselok - vyselkov, vysevok - vysevok, vychesok-vychesk, opivok - opivkov.
2) the ending “-ov/-ev” is normative for frills, clips, rags, rags, antlers, scum, clavichords.
3) nouns with zero inflection: fear attack, darkness, twilight.
4) the ending “-е” is normative for everyday life, wood, nursery.
How to write correctly: 5 kilograms or kilograms / tomato or tomatoes?
If there were only one Pomodoro and 5 kilograms of weight, then it would be written like this - Pomodoro 5 kilograms.
And since there are a lot of tomatoes, i.e. tomatoes, then 5 kilograms of tomatoes will be written with the ending ov - 5 kilograms of tomatoes.
As for the declension of the word kilogram, many dictionaries of the Russian language allow for variability, indicating that in the plural genitive case both options are possible, and there are no notes that the form of kilograms is correct, and kilogram is colloquial.
If we consider this problem, correlating it with the rules of the Russian language, then I would say this: both kilogram and tomato are masculine words ending in a consonant and belong to the second declension.
And in the second declension plural. in the gender case you should write the ending -ov. Therefore, for me everything is simple, you need to pronounce and write like this: there are not enough two kilograms of tomatoes in this box.
In accordance with the rules of the Russian language, it is correct to in this case will write: FIVE KILOGRAMS OF TOMATOES.
As for the units of measurement kilogram, as well as gram, hectare, for the genitive case their use in the plural is carried out using the ending ov.
The phrase five kilograms of tomato is colloquial; the ending ov - tomatoes is also used to form the genitive plural.
If you say five kilograms or five tomatoes, then in colloquial everyday speech so to speak is not forbidden, but such phrases are common people and are not used in literature.
After all, these two words kilograms and tomatoes answer the question What? and are in the genitive case, plural, masculine. Therefore, here the spelling-correct ending will be -ov.
This means it is correct to say FIVE KILOGRAMS OF TOMATOES.
Although many say kilogram, which sounds softer and not so bulky, so great mistake not here.
According to morphological norms Russian literary language, we will write correctly: five kilograms of tomatoes. The words gram, kilogram, centner, hectare in the genitive plural have the ending -OV. And other units of measurement: amperes, kilowatts, roentgens, etc. are used with a zero ending in the genitive plural form. For example: no amperes, roentgens, kilowatts.
In the names of vegetables and fruits, it will be normal to use genitive plural forms with the ending -OV: no eggplants, oranges, tomatoes, tangerines, peaches. But there are no apples( null ending).
The phrase five kilograms of tomato is colloquial, that is, non-literary.
Good day.
In both cases, a word is presented that is in the plural (in this particular case - 5) and in the genitive case. They answer the question What?
Therefore, in both cases the ending of the words will be -ov-.
Thus, it is correct to write/say five kilograms and five tomatoes.
IN oral speech we say this: five kilograms of tomatoes. However, correct spelling This phrase is based on the rule that in the genitive plural it should be written like this: five kilograms of tomatoes.
It is correct, of course, to write with the ending ov - kilograms and tomatoes. But this is if you adhere to modern Russian-language norms. IN colloquial speech There are variants of kilogram and tomato (but if a kilogram is still acceptable, then a tomato is not), and they are used quite often.
For example, I lost 5 kilograms; and specifically in your case, it’s correct - 5 kilograms of tomatoes, although in common parlance you often hear five kilograms of tomatoes.
The correct spelling in this case would be FIVE KILOGRAMS OF TOMATOES. Since the nouns tomatoes are in the plural, and you can also ask the question of what?, that is, in the genitive case, the ending will be -ov.
Kilogram.
To substantiate the answer, I looked at Rosenthal and the Gramota help desk, and read some articles. And I made a general conclusion:
In the case of tomatoes, both options are acceptable. Academically - kilograms, naturally. But people use the shortened form much more often when talking about tomatoes, and the language has adapted to it. Moreover, in the Certificate (look at the page) a kilogram is considered a more correct option. Although he is more conversational, at first glance.
Tomatoes.
But here the shortened version is not suitable. Only tomatoes are allowed.
As a result, taking different points view, we have two correct options: five kilograms of tomatoes and five kilograms of tomatoes. A matter of taste. Spelling. 🙂
Keep a note. It will come in handy!
1. Korean tomatoes, fast, tasty
Ingredients:
-2 kg of tomato, cut into large pieces (in half)
-4 pcs. bell peppers
-2 heads of garlic
-green
Refueling:
-100 gr. vinegar

-2 tbsp. l. salt.
Grind pepper and garlic (I added 2 pieces of hot pepper) in a meat grinder. Mix. Cut the greens.
Place in layers in a 3-liter jar: tomatoes, then a mixture of vegetables, herbs.
Close the jar with a lid and place it in the refrigerator upside down on the neck. This is so that after 8 hours it will be ready to eat on top. I made it in the evening and it’s ready in the morning! And then you can hold it in your normal position. It tastes even better the next day!
2. Pickled tomatoes are sweet and spicy
Ingredients:
- 2 kg of fresh tomatoes (ripe and firm)
- 1 red hot pepper
- 2-3 cloves of garlic
- 1 bell pepper
- allspice peas
- carnation
- sugar
- salt
- vinegar 9%
Place spices in clean jars: 3-5 allspice peas, 3-5 cloves, 1 clove of garlic cut into slices, 1/4 bell pepper cut into pieces and a small piece of hot pepper.
Wash and dry the tomatoes. Place tomatoes in jars.
Pour boiling water over and let stand for 20-30 minutes. Drain the water and add 4 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of salt per 1 liter of marinade.
Boil and pour into jars. Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar per liter jar. Roll up the jars and turn them over.
Let cool at room temperature.
3. Green salted tomatoes
Green, unripe tomatoes, preferably large and fleshy.
-Celery sprigs
-Garlic
-Red hot pepper
Brine
-For 1 liter of cold water (from the tap)
-70 g. salt (coarse)
We cut the tomatoes in half lengthwise, but not all the way. If the garlic is large, then cut each clove into several slices. Cut the pepper into rings (I do this with scissors, it’s very convenient). Celery into sprigs.
In each tomato we put several slices of garlic, 2-3 rings of pepper (depending on how much you like it spicy, or whether there are children in the house). We also stuff a sprig of celery there, mercilessly folded several times and secure all this beauty with ordinary spool threads, wrapping the tomato several times in different directions (If you are careful, you can do it without threads). Market esthetes stuff the red pepper in such a way that it sticks out of the tomato with a red tongue (teased). -Like the smiley.
Place a layer of celery sprigs on the bottom of a pan, or a jar (or maybe a barrel), a layer of tomato on top, another pepper on the sides (for those who like it), then celery again, etc. The top layer is celery.
We dilute the salt in water and pour in the tomatoes. We put it under pressure. A 3-liter jar takes about 1.5 liters of brine.
When the tomatoes finish playing, stop bubbling, the brine becomes transparent - that’s it, the pickle is ready. If you use it right away, then you don’t need to do anything else. And if you want to save it, then drain the brine, boil it and immediately pour the tomatoes in. You can close it like you would with a plastic lid , and roll it up with an iron one. This must be done immediately after pouring boiling brine over it. It can be stored for a very long time, even 2 years.

TOMATO Salad.

How does it sound? UCI did not warp)))
Reply from Neurosis[guru]
5 tomatoes, 5 tomatoes or 5 tomatoes. both of your options are correct. from the point of view of the modern Russian language, the first option is more correct. but many centuries ago the system of declension of nouns was somewhat different. Only some masculine words, mostly monosyllabic (for example, houses, slaves, dreams, sons, etc.) ended in -ov in the genitive plural. The rest, on the contrary, had a zero ending. Over time, the declination system has changed. One can even say that the expansion of the ending -ov has spread in common parlance to feminine and neuter nouns and masculine nouns, which traditionally retained other endings (all in all, five rubles). However, in colloquial speech, where the law of saving speech effort is actively in effect, the ending -ov is increasingly “eaten up”. That's why you can say "five kilograms of tomatoes." but it’s still better to write the first option
