You would use kilograms (kg) to measure someone's mass in metric units.

metre - length/distance litre-volume kilogram-mass
-- Gram . . . used to measure the mass of little things -- Kilogram . . . used to measure the mass of medium-size things -- Metric ton . . . used to measure the mass of enormous, heavy things
The nice thing about the metric system is that there aren't three units of mass, just the one : the kilogram You can measure larger or smaller masses by changing the prefix - centigram, megagram (more commonly called the Tonne), yottagramme, zeptogram, etc.

No, metric units are used to measure things, such as volume, mass, density, force, etc.
lengths are measured in metres, volume in litres, and mass in kilograms.
The SI (International System of Units) base unit for mass is kilogram (kg).
Does it look like i know i asked it that mean =s i dont know
Mass and weight are two different things: you cannot measure the mass of your weight. That is like talking about the temperature of your height - it makes no sense.
