Sounds like an /e/ to me. If you go to the incubator page of russian and look at the characters chart it explains the different sounds for some characters based on other surrounding sounds.

It's not the е it's the л that kinda sounds like o in order to make the word pronouncable eg tareloka kinda

I heard the R

I hear a d actually but it's because they trill the r

BLESS YOU

Ive been gettong ot a lpt in this chapter as well, even thoigj it seems unrelated to the topic and has been covered many times previously

to me too

Moya is feminine and moi is masculine

It seems that the plate in this sentence is femenin. I think if the plate is in possession of a female, than it stops with "Тарелка" Maybe i am wrong.

the word "тарелка" ends with the letter "а", it means feminine

"Taryolka".

No, it's nominative.

Duolingo doesn't tell us anything about a noun's gender.

That's not true. Duo does give this information, you just need to read tips&notes.
