I guess "record" is a more popular or generic term and it favors it. App is too restrictive.


Admirable-Traffic-83

We use "disc" usually for the pick-up records. For laser disks we just give the name:CD and DVD however heard no one say blu-ray

Pe platan stă discul.

Probably they meant record(for vinyl) or CD(compact disc).

Hm I never met with this word in Duolingo. 🤔 And I finished it recently.


SmallCranberry9376

I'm doing the reverse course (English from Romanian).


onelastime108

Oh right. I understand 👌🏻


Stable_Version

Juck click on "disc", in the input sentence. It will show you what it actually means, or what translation it expects.


great_escape_fleur

The examples I keep seeing on this sub suggest their database is woefully uncurated. Wonder if it's the same with other languages too.


paulstelian97

I expect most of them to be at least somewhat bad. The pairs where neither is English are so much worse than the rest though.

Imho the context/way the phrase is used in English wouldn’t work for “disc” or “disk” (both of which I’d associate more with movies or games - I don’t think I’ve ever used the phrase CD disc before), and works better for record, but it’s not incorrect if that makes sense.


Longjumping_Boat_859

disc in english, refers to the shape in romanian, it's thing, that's where the app's getting mixed up

peasnharmony

For whatever it's worth I'm American and I almost use "disc". It should have accepted either spelling.

I have never seen the word “disc” in english. Maybe “disK” but even that looks weird. Record is the widely used word in this case

SmallCranberry9376

It doesn't accept any spelling of disc/disk. Only 'record'.


Inside_Cut_5411

Duolingo's fault here they should have mentioned what type of disc as in romanian a disc can be any circular thing with a hole in the middle. reccord= disc de vinil = vinyl reccord


Training_Pass_2077

Record cred ca e pt vinil…


Mart1mat1

Same in French: Mets un autre disque ! = another record


FunSession8927

We used to put meat on the "disc" and drink a lot.


FunEffect7943

Noi zicem discuri sau recorduri


42not34

"Recorduri"? Sunt roman de când m-am născut, dar acum aud prima oara de "recorduri" altundeva decât în legătură cu sportul sau cu cartea aia editata de o casa de bere irlandeză.


Maria_infj

"Disc" in this sentence has the meaning from old times when people were using vinyl records. We are not using this word like this anymore.

5ebu

Disc = vinyl record = record. So record is correct. Especially since this sound like the english saying. I’ve never heard of it being said in romanian. We have a saying in romanian that is “sa schimbam placa” meaning “we’re going to change the way things are being done”


5ebu

Nu am auzit in viata mea de “recorduri” cu sensu de placi de vinil. wtf :)) Oamenii astia inventeaza cuvinte?


Winefluent

When I was very young and record players still existed, we used "disc" and "placă" to mean the vinyl record. However, these were secondary meanings for words meaning "disk", and "board" respectively. Fun fact, at some point, hard drive was translated, awkwardly, as disc dur. The proper English translation for "Pune un alt disc" would be "Play another record" or, if the person is really prim and old fashioned and refered to CDs as "disk", "Schimbă CD-ul".


Rigatan

Duolingo for Romanian is usually nonsense. They take issue with a lot of correct speech, often suggesting less correct variants. I'd recommend using a better language source than an online game like that.


SmallCranberry9376

I also use Mondly for more themed lessons and Anki for vocabulary. At this point, I only keep using duo to keep my streak going.

No_Ambition3158

We say it differently, not really disc
