"desert"

Translation: dessert

[Panchete1]

is it pronounced "disert" or "desert"?

[potestasity]

"desert". Both "e"s are the same.

[Panchete1]

Mersi! That's what I thought. In the audio it sounds "disert".

[SS_Coyote]

Agreed with both. It should be "de-sert" but in this lesson sounds like "di-sert"

Thanks. Couldn't find the link on the English Wiktionary.

[DiegoJaviUnlam]

You are welcome. Sometimes I see the information about gender in Romanian Wiktionary too. In this case the chart indicates n. meaning genul neutru.

[dieprinzessin]

Yeah I figured out that much. It just had not come to my mind to search in a Romanian Version of Wiktionary. It is so important to keep track of the gender of every word you learn in this course. I didn't realize this in the beginning...

British English 'pudding' not accepted

[the_shakti]

Pudding means budincă.

[WarsawWill]

Yes, but in British English it has a second meaning. It's how many people refer to dessert at home - "What's for pudding?" (or informally "What's for pud?"). For me "dessert" is a word seen on restaurant menus, and I'd never use it at home, unless perhaps when giving a formal dinner, and even then probably not.
