“Weight” in Korean is 무게 (muge).

Heaviness that can be felt or measured and, by extension, can describe how much something matters.

When I put stones in the box, I can really feel its weight.

Everyday Korean uses this word for ordinary measurements, while formal technical writing may use a Sino-Korean term instead.
