"He eats chocolate cake."

Translation: El mănâncă tort cu ciocolată.

[Lng52-._]

Would Romanians prefer to say: "El mănâncă tort de ciocolată"?

[razvan.marin]

It depends on whether it has chocolate among other things or mainly chocolate based.

As a chocolate fan, I am jealous of the guy. XD

Shouldn't "El mănâncă plăcintă cu ciocolată" be also accepted here?

[summered.and...]

o plăcintă is a pie. a cake and a pie are different things.

[Delice17]

could one not mean eating cake with chocolate as opposed to eating chocolate cake

[razvan.marin]

It could mean too, but highly unlikely. If we would need to say that we would say El mănâncă tort și ciocolată I guess.

[GrossiBP]

so in this sentence I can understand "cu" like Spanish "de"? some kind of connection "cake cu/de chocolate"?

[razvan.marin]

Yes, we also have and use de for this purpose!

[Delice17]

thankyou for your help!

[LovRailWay]

why not "o plăcintă cu ciocolată" earlier they learned this way

[summered.and...]

o plăcintă is a pie. a cake and a pie are different things.

[MattiaMattix02]

Why would "El mănâncă plăcintă cu ciocolată" be wrong for Duolingo?

[summered.and...]

o plăcintă is a pie. a cake and a pie are different things.

I wrote "El mananca un tort cu ciocolata" but got it wrong since I put "un" in the sentence.
