Level 46

Apr 27, 2013

Tsar can also be spelled "Tzar"

+19

Level 57

Feb 5, 2014

I believe it's either a Tsar or a Czar. I'm pretty sure it's only Ts or Cz. I don't think Tz or Cs are correct. Since it's a quiz where everything starts with T, that leaves Tsar as the only answer.

Level 22

Jul 17, 2016

Not often I see educated jetpunkers donna! :)

Level 36

Aug 25, 2017

Here we go again. it is TSAR and CZAR. Do you do this merely to start an argument or discussion or are you really that ignorant?

+38

Level 66

Mar 22, 2019

Divantilya, a correct and clear answer was given immediately above yours, three years before yours. Your response adds nothing but nastiness; why did you post it?

Level 59

Jul 22, 2020

Well, to be fair, technically the only correct spelling is the original cyrilic: царь. Everything else is just a transscription to latin on top of a translation to english, so I personaly don't se much of a difference between Tzar and Tsar.

Level 76

Oct 16, 2015

In Russian, it's цар, and ц = ts. No z's to be seen here, folks.

Level 83

Oct 5, 2016

The word entered English long before people started caring about precise transliteration of Russian

Level 66

Mar 22, 2019

Tsar' comes from Tsezar', or Ceaser. It seems likely that the z in Czar comes from some older transliteration that attempted to convey the older title.

Level 51

Feb 27, 2020

That is Bulgarian spelling you show right here. In Russian, it is царь. Theoretically, it still should be transliterated into English as tsar, but with English spelling being notoriously inconsistent... Still, officially, after Peter the Great title for Russian Emperor was Император, Imperator, so - Emperor.

Arrrgghh it took me until 2 seconds to go before I finally got the korean martial arts spelling right!!!

Level 30

Feb 5, 2014

Yeah, I never ended up getting it right; some additional spellings would be helpful!

Level 56

Jul 17, 2016

I'm confused. How else would you spell it?

Level 65

Jul 17, 2016

"taekwAndo"

Level 83

Jul 18, 2016

"Rex-kwando"

Kilimanjaro is not only in Tanzania. It's also in Kenya.

But whatever I still got it right

Level 30

Feb 22, 2014

Kilimanjaro is solely in Tanzania and can be seen from Kenya

+12

Level 50

Jul 13, 2014

And Kenya doesn't start with "t"....

Level 67

Jul 15, 2014

I got a little stuck on "Don't mess with Texas", but got 100% with 3:42 left.

Level 70

Apr 15, 2019

Wait, is this you messing with Texas saying you couldn't remember "don't mess with Texas"? That might even more dangerous than disparaging Whataburger.

Level 18

Dec 14, 2014

I think that many Americans (and others) thought that the Taj Mahal is spelled tajma hall

Level 51

Jul 27, 2015

I surely hope not. lol That never would have occurred to me.

Level 93

Oct 6, 2015

Why would you think that?

Level 76

Jul 17, 2016

Not in a million years.

Uhh, no. 92% have gotten it right!

Spacing doesn't natter though so it would be accepted

Level 45

May 4, 2018

I know no one that thinks that's the spelling...

Level 63

Aug 9, 2021

Strange comment. I'm American and I've never known anyone who thinks it's spelled like that.

Level 79

Jul 3, 2015

TZAR! ...

Level 76

Dec 24, 2016

...is not an acceptable spelling. Tsar or Czar.

Level 66

Dec 15, 2021

I feel like I've seen "Csar," though.

Level 92

Oct 7, 2015

Can you accept more misspellings (such as "kwan" for the middle word) in the Korea question?

Level 71

Oct 7, 2015

Lots of non-geographical answers in this geography quiz, don't you think? Tequila, taekwondo, tsar, taj mahal, taliban...

Level 96

Nov 7, 2015

The academic study of geography is quite a bit broader than just locations on a map. Climate, crops, culture, people, language, religion, etc are all included. Pretty much anything that is interesting or unique about any given location falls into the category.

Level 81

Thanks to Magic: The Gathering for teaching me Taiga.

Level 74

Jul 17, 2016

I played it occasionally with my family, but I must have missed that card. Had never heard the term.

Level 78

Jul 18, 2016

It was one of the mythical double lands from the first editions. The Taiga was a forest and a mountain combined.

BTW, Tundra (also in this test) was a double land too. A plain and an island.

Level 81

Jul 18, 2016

Lands are a vital component of the game and they're always printing more so I've learned names for all sorts of obscure ecozones.

The five basic lands are Island, Forest, Plains, Swamp, and Mountain.

But then the ten original dual lands, which are the best such lands ever printed in the game and so remain valuable and relevant to this day, were U/B Underground Sea, U/W Tundra, U/R Volcanic Island, U/G Tropical Island, W/B Scrubland, W/R Plateau, W/G Savannah, B/R Badlands, B/G Bayou, and G/R Taiga.

Level 72

Sep 12, 2019

Thanks to elementary/primary (choose your english word of choice..) school, for teaching me taiga and tundra.

Level 81

Oct 13, 2019

I remember learning tundra there but not taiga

Level 59

Jul 22, 2020

Thanks to school for teaching me taiga, but whatever floats your boat.

Level 81

Sep 21, 2020

I learned about the principle of buoyancy in 3rd grade. I think that's what floats most boats.

Level 54

Jul 17, 2016

Can you please accept Tasmania spelt with a Z instead of an S

Level 71

Dec 29, 2016

No. See above.

Level 59

Feb 16, 2021

If you spell it like that, it becomes a Looney Tunes character...

Level 59

Jul 17, 2016

I can't believe I almost missed Taekwondo, and I practice it! That's what happens when you spend too much time on a quiz website :P

Level 36

Dec 14, 2016

To Donna: If your teacher taught you that Tzar, Czar and Csar are all correct, she should have been fired as incompetent. its TSAR

or CZAR. Anyone taking the time to open a dictionary can be so

informed.

Level 58

Oct 20, 2017

As I said above, plenty of English dictionaries do have tzar (inter alia). Perhaps you ought to take the time and effort to look up in a decent dictionary rather than be snarky.

Level 36

Jun 18, 2018

Only two English dictionaries (Merriam Webster and Oxford) are considered standard. Any moron can compile a dictionary, that doesn't mean we need to recognize them as credible.

Level 68

Jul 13, 2024

Source for them being the English "standard"?

Level 79

May 6, 2019

Divantilya, how dare you? As a Cambridge man, I must ask you to step outside!

Level 39

Feb 10, 2017

Suprised the least known is Tiaga..

I would have thought it would be the lake in the andes..

Level 57

Apr 21, 2020

I'm sure there's one in Siberia. Hence the phrase "Siberian Taiga"

Level 82

Jan 14, 2021

Every few years, the scrub is torched to encourage new life afterwards. Hence "Taiga Taiga burning bright..."

Level 51

Not too bad in that one, 3.45 left first attempt

Level 66

Mar 6, 2017

Not gonna take Taekwando? Fine...

Level 44

Jun 3, 2017

I'm surprised only 35% Taiga while 77% got Tundra right. I vaguely remember learning about them at the same time back in high school but I guess other countries might structure their lesson plans differently.

Level 85

Jun 22, 2017

I don't believe I've ever heard the term "taiga" ever before in my life?

Level 20

Jan 18, 2019

Same, Tundra and Taiga, always taught together in my country, starting from elementary school :-)

Level 72

Sep 12, 2019

I was taught both at the same time, but later on taiga hardly got mentioned anymore, while tundra got a mention here and there. Tundra is represented much stronger in my mind, while I know I was taught them simultaneously.

Level 79

Sep 23, 2021

You learn about 'gold' and 'meitnerium' in the same class, but I still think 'gold' is more well known.

According to "Believe It Or Don't," which ran in Mad Magazine in the 1950s, you can cook eggs in the water of Lake Titicaca. . . . Of course you have to boil it first.

Technically speaking Taoism is a philosophy (so I've heard, I could be wrong)
