This will be a lower effort post and I will delete it if isnt useful for other learners. I cant find an answer anywhere else.

Can the Romanian word DAR also many gift? I was always convinced DAR had just one meaning. As I saw in my dictionary Its used quite often and far more than the Romanian word CADOU. Can anybody explain the difference.

Here's the text:

--

Sunt o persoană organizată, responsabilă și mereu dornic să învăț lucruri noi.

--

Context: I'm not sure if I should use "dornic" or "dornica". I need it for the male gender.

I’m curious to know what kind of opinion you get for the person or do you know where they come from if they use “eu îs” instead of “eu sunt”? So curious to know if it sounds old-fashioned or rural please be honest in your answers about what you think.

Bună tuturor,

Învăț româna vreo de 4 luni acum și cunosc pe cineva din Brasov (Transylvania) As dori să o surpriză cu cuvânte din Transylvania că sunt popular pe acolo. Știu numai fain: (Transylvania) cool, fine, of good quality. Deci face oricine știe altceva cuvânte că sunt popular? Mulțumesc din suflet.

Îmi pare rău dacă mesaj meu este proaste în limba asta😅 toate din cap.

Care variantă e corectă, și dacă ambele, de ce? Thanks în advance.

I understand about 90% of Romanian when hearing it be spoken but can’t speak it almost at all. I don’t want to learn to write it. I understand it maybe 75% when I read it as I feel like it’s spelt how it’s heard. Please give me some recommendations on how I can learn to speak it! And also please some Romanian podcasts to improve my listening

I've had Romanians online greet me with "Salut Coaie" and I'm wondering how common it actually is.

It seems kinda funny to me that what is essentially a colloquial term for Testicles is used in this way, but if it's completely fine I might have to start saying it lol.

I mainly want to know when/where I'm supposed to use it?

Is it just specifically for friends, or could one say it to strangers too?

If any learner feels particularly optimistic about his or her level, try your powers on this sample.

Hint: "mocskos" is not in Romanian, it means "dirty" in Hungarian.

The sentence that prompted this question is this:

Sfânta Liturghie este spațiul privilegiat al Parousiei liturgic-sacramentale a Domnului,...

I understand what the sentence means just fine, but I'm having trouble articulating exactly why you would use the possessive articles in this case instead of just writing the same sentence without the possessive articles. From what I can guess it's some special rule that you use when chaining possession.

Hi guys, so I'm searching for this song for years now!! Asking here really is my last hope lol. I cant really remeber the melody.. all I know is that it is from the 90-00s,its HipHop, the guy raps in romanian and if I remember corectly the girl sings the hook in english. She was blonde and hot. All I remember is the Videoclip. It took place in a hotel room. It kinda was about love but the song was very chill, no aggression. Also i think it was kinda underground? Nothing too popular. Pleeeaaase if someone has a clue let me know. Thaaaank yall!

Finders Fee included 😂

So I wanna start learning romanian because of my heritage and the languages i know are greek, german and english. So could you give me some Tips on where i can start learning it and how hard it is. Thanks!

Hello everyone !

I have a small question what the title of the post already describes. What is the difference between astfel încât and ca să? Both meaning so that (as I understood) Im also struggling generally with the word încât as when to use it.

Thanks in advance !

Expresia ”Marea Unire” s-a generalizat în epoca Ceaușescu, iar prin anii 90, s-a născut ideea că din moment ce avem două Uniri, iar una este ”mare”, în opoziție forțată, cealaltă nu poate fi decât ”mică”.

Este un caz de asociere simetrică, ca în cuplul ”Stan & Bran”, unde, dacă Bran este gras, Stan va trebui neapărat să fie slab.

În gândirea infantilă se operează mult cu ”diferențierea simetrică”: ”dacă X are atributul Z, atunci Y va trebui să aibă atributul -Z”. Este un procedeu de gândire care ajută un creier cu puține informații să se orienteze într-o lume necunoscută.

În general gândirea rudimentară operează cu cupluri polare (bun/rău, frumos/urât, mic/mare, etc) - e o formă simplă și rapidă de clasificare pe fondul lipsei posibilităților de judecată complexă.

Este de nivelul bunului simț comun că Unirea Principatelor de la 1859 nu poate fi caracterizată drept ”mică”.

Termenul ”Mica Unire” este un stereotip de prost gust care ar putea fi evitat.

Suntem in Statele Unite. Am un fiu de patru ani, destept si foarte talentat verbal, si un bebe de sapte luni. Vorbim engleza in casa, dar la telefon cu bunica vorbesc prea inflacarat romaneste ca sa urmareasca. Fiul cunoaste cateva cuvinte dar nu se poate spune ca vorbeste romaneste. Repetam cuvinte impreuna in drum spre scoala. Cand am fost iarna trecuta la Romania incepuse sa inteleaga ce i se vorbeste. Ne pregatim sa petrecem vara la Romania.

Este foarte important pentru mine sa pastram legatura cu Romania si cu limba noastra. Cu ce ati avut mai mare succes in familiile dumneavoastra? Ce resurse mai aveti? Ce pot face diferit pentru bebe, unde n-am reusit cu fiul?

I just called 'drag' by a Romanian guy is he flirting or does drag sometimes have a platonic connotation?

Hello everyone, I was looking for a "free" streaming service to watch Las Fierbinți in romanian, with subtitles (in romanian) possibly. Thanks

I am currently writing a story in which there is a female character from Romania. I was thinking about what to name her and have come across the male name "Doru" derived from the word for "longing". This is really fitting with the character's backstory. Is there a female version of this name?

I want to listen to more Romanian artists/songs to help with my understanding of the language, but am struggling to find artists that I enjoy. What are your recommendations?

Hi everyone,

I’ve made very good progress with Pimsleur. My only complaint is it was WAY too formal. My family does not talk like that.

Now I wonder, does anyone know of any resources with methods similar to how Pimsleur teaches? Preferably one that teaches how to speak informally.

Hello! I’d like to preface with I know no romanian. My boyfriend is romanian and I would like to buy him a custom engraved zippo with a saying on it in romanian. Here are a few ideas, I want to make sure that they are spelled correctly/ convey the correct meaning. Thank you so much!

1. Inima mea bate alaturi de a ta = My heart beats next to yours
2. Ce ma fac eu fara tine? = What am I doing without you?
3. Inima mea îți aparține = My heart belongs to you

Hi I know this is very broad, but I’m trying to get a sense of what the cultural scene.s are like in Romania and especially in Bucarest. Any artists, writer, architect you’d recommend? It could be from any field or community, including Roma. Current or past. Many thanks, O

Where can I buy books written by Barbu Ștefănescu Delavrancea in the US? Thank you
