disagree  Aoife Kennedy: Hi Floriana, it's not "domain" in this instance, but "dominio" in the sense of mastering something or having a certain ability. [Added:] I know what domain means. It doesn't apply here, and I certainly did not confirm that your suggestion was right.

  -> I beg to differ: please see the following def.:domain [ doʊm'eɪn ] A domain is a particular field of thought, activity, or interest, especially one over which someone has control, influence, or rights. usu with supp formal
disagree  Amy Duncan (X): Agree with Aoife...it would never be said this way.

  -> You have a right for your oppinion however, it's not you to choose the correct answer, it's the asker. And for the def. of domain, it DOES fit in here, Aoife even confirmed it in her statement!
