Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. The word "rock" in English is slang and therefore not translatable from language to language. You'll have to find another term. One word you might use is "chévere" which is like "fantastic, terrific, etc."

No I meant the music, as in rock and roll.
It is a type of music, which I'm not sure how to say!
Apparently, the French have not translated "rock" into French, so this kind of music in France is known as "rock."

Aha! If you meant the adjective, that's what I gave you first. If you mean "rock-'n-roll" as a noun, that is "el rock."

Oops! I should learn to read the difference between French and Spanish!
To say "rock" in Spanish, referring to the music genre, you would use the word "rock" itself. The Spanish language does not have a specific translation for "rock" as a music genre, and it is commonly used as is. However, there are also other terms used in Spanish to refer to rock music, such as "música rock" or "rock 'n' roll" (pronounced rok-en-rol).
To find translations for specific words or phrases, you can use various online resources, such as dictionaries or translation websites. Some popular options include Google Translate, WordReference, and Linguee. These platforms allow you to input a word or phrase in English and retrieve its translation in Spanish or other languages. It is always a good idea to use multiple sources to ensure accuracy and contextual understanding.
