Well, I am actually Swedish, in my country's language the word "gross" means... Something else, I honestly cannot remember what exactly.

...Really, I only remember it had a similar meaning to "dozen" in that it denoted a number of something. A big number, which is undoubtedly due to the Germanic influences on the Swedish language... Hence the meaning for the Swedish word "grossist" I'd presume, which translates to "grocer" and essentially means "person who buys large amounts of goods in order to sell them on in smaller amounts to many other people." Basically.

The more you know!

Hmmm...

In Portuguese, 12 dozens, is a "Grosa". When we buy in large quantities, it's called "Venda a Grosso". We also have the term "Grossista" (Grossist) for someone that doesn't sell small units.

I wonder who learned from whom...

Yeah in Swedish "gross" is also 12 dozens which is from a french word.

Yes. its similar to german. And you mean a Gros(sometimes Groß or Gross), its spelled more like "Groo" and means a 12 x 12 so 144 pieces. The origin of the name is from Latin.

And there is a "Großes Gros" meaning a big gros (12 x 12 x 12) so 1728 pieces.
The "person who buys large amounts of goods in order to sell them on in smaller amounts to many other people." part is from France. They say to those people "they buy en gros". They buy in large numbers.

Yes you are correct. But they talk about the "unit" gros(12 x 12 = 144). Not the therm for big.

I think the discussion have been about both

The o is pronounced long in groß and short in gross, at least in Germany.
Most words that have the same double consonant are pronounced short, but there are exceptions.

EDIT:
You'd be better off learning another language.
The German language has been ruined by the government with all its spelling reforms. Even we Germans can't make sense of it anymore.
Learn French, then you can swear and it will sound like you're wiping your ass with silk.

Or go for Japanese. Then you can swear and it will sound ludicrously dramatic!

Nothing against the French, but I always thought they were a bit effeminate, but the last Olympics... just confirmed it for me. So if you want to sound like a man, choose another language.

I have the palatal structure to get the phonetics right, but it seems to me to be a difficult language.
We have a saying: German language, difficult language. I feel the same way about Japanese and Chinese.

I have nothing against the French either. I really like their language, it sounds sexy, just like Spanish (Latin America), totally sexy.

[DrAddy]

Incidentally, the German language does not sound sexy, but rather trashy. You can't understand a word of the Bavarian dialect, everyone laughs their heads off at the Saxon dialect, and the Brandenburg/Berlin dialect sounds totally retarded.
So my dialect is retarded.

And there is a "Großes Gros" meaning a big gros (12 x 12 x 12) so 1728 pieces.

 

[TigerWolfe]

In Switzerland and Liechtenstein, it is written as gross, while in Germany and Austria it is written as groß. groß means “big” in German. I have a big (groß) one in my pants.
In English, “gross” means “brutto, for example
I earn 10,000 Eddies gross per day. (Ich verdiene 10.000 Eddies brutto pro Tag.)
The pronunciation is pretty much identical.

That's neat that brutto has the same 2 meanings in Italian, that Gross does in English. I'd say gross is most frequently recognized/used in english as like unpleasant/disgusting, rather than the financial/mathematical usage.
