Сам; СамИ; СамЫЕ; СамЫ

Dear Community,

I would be grateful if you could clarify an issue for me.

1. СамЫ дорогие вещи мира

2.  СамЫЕ дорогие вещи мира

Which one of the above is correct?

Google lists at least 292 000 instances of  "самЫ" and 53 800 000 instances of самЫЕ, so I'm inclined to view the former as non-standard.

Also, multitran lists "самЫ" as the short plural form of "сам" (Краткая форма множественного числа).

However, I think this should be "самИ". Is that correct?

Lastly, does "самЫ"  have any right to an independent existence, or is it just an error that keeps getting repeated?

Thank you for your input.

UPDATE: 1. "СамЫ" is not standard Russian and its use is not recommended in Russian. 2. multitran.ru has been advised of their error.

One can only speculate as to why it is so, but it remains a fact that this error is in circulation and evidently enjoys some degree of popularity. I think the most egregious incident was the listing by multitran.ru of this as the standard form.

Anyway, I've sent off a message to multitran.ru on the issue and, hopefully, they will rectify the situation shortly.

From my end, the case is closed.

Thank you for your contributions.

May be they have some script problems that make disapear the e at the end? There is no such a word in russian! Or may be there is a sort of fachion to change the words to make them sound funny.
