Sometimes you need to communicate with foreigners in their language. It could be a trip abroad, or a visit by foreigners that make it necessary to learn at least the basic phrases of a language. You could also fall in love with a person from another nation. Now the best way to pick up a foreign language quickly is to spend some time trying to communicate with someone, whose mother tongue is that particular language. Let us take a look at some essential phrases in Romanian, if you want to be able to converse with Romanians.
Most new learners want to learn the exact translations of some basic phrases. We provide you a list of such phrases in Romanian along with English translations.
Romanian English Da Yes Nu No Da,va rog Yes, please Nu multzumesc No, thank you Domn, Doamna Sir, Madam Iata Here is Buna Hello Buna dimineatza Good morning Buna ziua Good afternoon Buna seara Good evening Cu placere You are welcome Noapte buna Good night Ce mai faci How are you Foarte bine, multzumesc Very well, thank you Ma scuzatzi Excuse me Ma putetzi ajuta Can you help me? Nu intzeleg I do not understand Nu shtiu I do not know Putetzi sa scrietzi? Could you please write it down? Scuze Sorry Las -ma in pace Leave me alone Unde Where Cand When De ce Why Cine Who Care Which Unde este Where is Cat costa How much Eu vreau I want Ce este What is Imi place I like it Nu imi place I do not like it De acord Agreed E bine That is fine
In the words "sa", "va", "ma", "buna", and "doamna", you will find that the letter "a" sounds like in the English world "sir". Again, the letter "c" is pronounced "ch" like in "teacher" in the words "placere", "ce", "faci", "place", "ce" and "ci". The letter "a" is uttered like in the Russian "you" in the words "cat" and "cand".
If you think speaking Romanian is easy, think again. Pronouncing the Romanian words can be tricky, as the alphabet does not always follow letter sounds. Take the letter "r", for example. If you are English-speaking, you might face problems trying to pronounce the Romanian "r", which has a definite sound of its own. Your best try could come out very funny to Romanian ears.
To carry on in the same vein someone, whose first language is French, will have a lot of trouble pronouncing the Romanian "h". Most will simply be unable to utter it. Similarly, the sound that the letters or stand for is very difficult to utter for English speaking people. On the other hand, Russian people can find it quite easy as the vowel sound in the Russian equivalent of "you" is basically similar to these sounds.
However, it is not that difficult to acquire a reasonable knowledge of the basic Romanian phrases. To develop fluent and correct Romanian accent, you need contact with native Romanian speakers, who can help you avoid sounding funny.
Furthermore, any Romanian language trainers, even if they have to teach only basic phrases in Romanian, they must be aware of each trainee's learning style. For example, some people learn better, when the subject is directly related to their life, others need charts and diagrams; in addition, some learners need practicing with a partner or work in groups, or learn a craft or skill with members of a community.
Finally you must find out the method of instruction best suited to the learning style of a foreigner, who is eager to learn Romanian. Then prepare for an adventurous journey into the realm of a new language. But do not worry: there will be funny interludes that will give the learning experience enough comic relief.
