English term or phrase: DVD discs
I need a pure Turkish word for disc, but it should be a word, which could be used in the context of DVDs. So I don't want the word "disk" or "disc". Now I saw on Google Translate the word "plâk", but it's unclear, whether it really means "plate" or "plaque", because those two are very unrelated to each other.

Then there's the even more remote word "daire" = apartment, circle, department, round, rooms, disc. So compared to this, "plâk" is better.

But perhaps you have a third, Turkish-only suggestion. And of course, I would need it in plural, so plâkler or plâklar or whatever your other word will look like in plural.

That's your only option... "Plak" is "vinyl record"....

Trying to find "pure Turkish" words is not laughable, but insisting to have something that does not exist is, sorry... And please, go preach your s*it elsewhere...

Well, trying to find pure Turkish words for something as simple, as a disc, should not be laughable at all. The lack of it proves the poverty of the Turkish language, on which Turkish people should actually work, not me. Unfortunately, they all sold their souls already to the West. Or are there still any Turkish patriots out there? Either way, thanks for your contributions! I'm choosing this only, because ProZ is already nagging me to make a decision, but I don't like it at all.

(yuvarlak) dijital ortam taşıyısı


Explanation:
Yuvarlak sözcüğü komik duruyor gibi...Ama 'dijital ortam taşıyıcısı'ndan yola çıkılarak Türkçe bir kavram türetilebilir.

DVD'ler


Explanation:
DVD stands for Digital Video Disc so it already contains the word Disc or Disk. Calling something "DVD disc" is redundant as you can see. The person writing the expression "DVD disc" probably had no idea what it meant explicitly.

"DVD'ler" simply means "DVD's" so it is plural. I would not repeat the word "disc" as I explained above. It would sound like "Digital Video Disc discs" which is not correct.
