… or why you absolutely need a Romanian trainer. 🙂
For such “simple” things as basic politeness:
Bitte | Please | Vă rog / Te rog |
Bitte | There you are | Poftiţi / Poftim |
Bitte? | (I beg your) pardon? | Poftim? |
Bitte | You’re welcome | Cu plăcere |
For help with indefinite articles, personal pronouns or tenses:
eine Frau | a woman | o femeie |
Ich sehe sie (Akk.) | I see her | o văd (pe ea) |
Ich werde versuchen | I‘ll try | o să încerc (the second form of the future) |
For the stressed, unstressed bound and unbound forms of the personal pronoun in dative:
Es geht euch gut. | You‘re doing well. | Vouă vă merge bine |
Ich habe euch gesagt. | I told you. | V-am spus. |
Ich gebe es euch. | I’m giving it to you. | Vi-l dau. |
Stressed out? Don’t worry, there are plenty of shortcuts:
unsprezece (11) or unşpe
treizeci şi nouă (39) or treişnouă
astăzi (today) or azi
aceasta (this) or asta
aceea (that) or aia
And because opportunities abound in Romania, just as they do in the Romanian language.
