"El control"

Translation: The control

[ArmandoGal17]

Could this also be interpreted as a TV remote?

[Ferdo76]

That is indeed possible.

[nope711]

Yes.

[swedishmaid]

maybe. But I tend to hear this in music as in "tiene el control" more as in control in english. less off a remote control

[Artifiko]

Gee, I wonder what it could be.

[LizsRealSpanish]

so it gives test as one possible translation of control but apparently the test is wrong. Why?

[dogon3]

A test, as in an auto inspection or check. "
I have to check my oil" might use "controlar."

[Kenecxjo]

dogon, !Verdad! In Esperanto, 'kontroli' (kontrOli) means: to check, completely unlike the English false cognate ("false friend"): "to control." ---Keneĉjo Ricardo

[Liakada316]

I didn't see that. Maybe that's old?

[Grard922763]

I saw examination as translation, wrote that down and..... It was marked wrong!

[Liakada316]

Examination and control have nothing in common... what were you thinking? Not like a nagging WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?!?! But a literal question so that maybe I could explain it to you.

[dimond223]

I've lost control

[chris610088]

I'm having a hard to hearing, i hear en control and not el control, although the later makes more sense. :)

[Kenecxjo]

Chris, I use (ear)buds or headphones. Can you try that?

[chris610088]

I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

[KcWard1]

The regular and slow versions of the audio are the same speed. :/

[Kenecxjo]

Kc, ¡Ay!

[Liakada316]

Did Spanish people not have their own word for control or did we steal it from them?

[Bishop6]

Both come from the Medieval Latin contrarotulum. In the case of English, it was brought into the language from the French contrerole which came from the Latin.

[gJYCA]

The checkpoint is marked wrong, but given as an option if you click on the word. Is the translation wrong?
