"Cyri"

Translation: A curry

[ryannichols7]

first duolingo course that has taught me the word for Curry, which has generally been a loanword in almost every language. I'm sure Hindi will also teach this too, no?

[NoelGoetowski]

Maybe it's a UK thing (Statesman here), but I thought "curry" was an uncountable noun, like "soup" or "toothpaste". I.E., you get some curry, but not a curry.

[fiderallala]

As a substance, curry is uncountable. As a defined portion of that substance, it can be countable. Very common to get "a curry" here, but then you could also get "a soup" (i.e. a bowl of soup), though that's less common outside restaurants.

[Dim-ond-dysgwr]

Very true. "Shall we go for a curry?" (visit an Indian restaurant) and "Shall we get a curry?" (purchase an Indian takeaway) are very commonly heard suggestions where I live (population 5,000; number of Indian eating-places, four!).

[LizabethSmith]

When is it "cyri" and when "cyrri"?

[ibisc]

Either will do. Most dictionaries seem to give cyrri, but the Termiadur gives cyri.

[KathleenAy4]

That's interesting, as I used two rs and was told I had a typo.

This bug has yet to be fixed. Either "cyri" or "cyrri" should be accepted.

[ibisc]

Either spelling should be accepted. Please send a bug report - https://support.duolingo.com/hc/en-us/articles/204728264-How-do-I-report-a-bug-
