Plader eller tallerkner?
When studying I came across two words for plates:

-Plader
-Tallerkner

Are they both correct? Do they mean the same thing?
If not examples would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Answer

"Tallerken" is what you eat your food from. It's a dinner plate.

"Plade" means 'plate' in other senses, like a metal plate or a tectonic plate. For example, a number plate (for a motor vehicle) is a "nummerplade". It can also refer to a music disc like a vinyl LP or a CD.

Examples:
"Man plejer at spiser mad fra en tallerken." (One usually eats food from a plate).

"De tektoniske plader bevæger sig i forskellige retninger." (The tectonic plates move in different directions.)

"Hun satte en plade på grammofonen" (She put a disc on the gramophone).

Answer

If you say "plader" then it will sound really akward.
Use tallerken (singularis) or tallerkner (pluralis)
