Yours is which plate? - is it so wrong?

Is talerz related to the German word teller? For some reason I love seeing words that are similar in German and in Polish ^^

Is not the same plate than dish?

funny Talheres in Portuguese means cutlery

Dish would or should also apply, I think.

I've had it kicked out three times now, dish is the first thing that comes to ind and I put it in for the big void. I often forget the lesson part and go with what is most commonly used in everyday communication, that and how it's said. In Japan I knew what the words meant but often said it backwards from the way natives said it.
