    CDs and DVDs

    Russian folks, or at least those with some proficency, how do you personally say CDs and DVDs? I know that the dictionary term is компакт-диск, but is that what is actually used in normal speech?
    Заранее благодарю всех за исправление ошибок в моём русском.

    You don't just use "дивиди"? I saw something similar on the back of the Ukrainian-language box of Ночной Дозор.

    перевидите, пожалуйста: что это такое "изощрения"?

    Sorry, I've only been studying Russian properly for like 6 months or so, I'm not really good with it

    Uh, it wasn't exactly clear from your punctuation where the original word was and where the Russian equivalents began.

    I think he said "that's so, but it's 'refined' " which means only elitest sorts use it?

    It's absolutely OK to say СиДи and ДиВиДи.

    честно говоря не знаю как перевести, может быть Rtyom знает как лучше это передать (Rtyom ты где! :) )

    Я имею ввиду, что есть еще нераспространенные способы сказать слово, но они не очень приняты

    the adjective of изощренный may have such meanings as masterly, meticulous, very slim, filigree, etc.
    Here this word is used inappropriately, because it is confused with another word, that is "извращенный" that sounds similar and means wicked, perverted; unnatural, twisted...

    A perverted disc, eh? Sounds German.

    "Сидюк" is a CD-ROM drive in informal speech. Hence, I'm thinking about "изощрения" that not completely reflects what Dimitri was trying to say. Forget this word for it's not the one to be bound with the topic.

    Ok, but how about declensions? For example, "I bought 10 CDs." Я курил 10 ?????

    Я купил 10 дисков.
    Я купил 10 компакт-дисков.
    Я купил 10 CD (informal)
    Я купил 10 CD-дисков (bad Russian because it means "I bought 10 compact discs discs", so it's bad English too)

    Ok, I would guess, then, that most likely would be дисков? That is, if I asked you right now, rtyom, "What did you buy at the store?" you would probably say дисков, personally?

    Yes, you're right.

    Nom. диск, диски
    Gen. диска, дисков
    Dat. диску, дискам
    Acc. диск, диски
    Instr. диском, дисками
    Prep. диске, дисках

    When I want to fool around I use the feminine form created on my own: диска (to say "я купил много дисок" -- sounds cool but incorrect).
