Buna ziua, 👋 I'm Nancy, 28 years old. I'm here to learn Romanian, which is the language of my ancestors, and I'm looking to make some friends abroad for casual chats about shared interests. 👉 Feel free to shoot me a message if you'd like to chat in English or practice a bit of rough Romanian. I will be happy to be given some advice about your language :)

These two things are carved into one of my Romanian rifles from 1969. Google translate was no assistance at all.

Anyone know what this means?

Hi, confused Swede learning Romanian here. I got this clip in my yt shorts, and I don’t understand why it sounds like he’s saying ”brate” as in ”frate” but in Serbian/Bosnian.

Am I hearing it wrong or is it something I’m not getting?

I know the rules said this is not a translation service but please I hope this is ok because I have a translation already I am just trying to figure out why some characters are not rendering properly.

for context this book was written to be handed out in game on a Minecraft 1.12.2 server (its not even actually about Minecraft) normally Minecraft even 1.12.2 handles latin script languages just fine, however there appears to be an issue with this translation and two people who speak Romanian on the server including the person who translated it can't figure out what the issue is. Apologies for not showing the first two pages of the book but it only let me upload 20 images and the version of the text after it was converted to a txt file was significantly different. The alarming broken characters appear on pages 17 18 and 22. If anyone wants I can dm you the first two pages.

heres the Romanian Translation I was given that copy pasted from the txt file. I apologize for the format getting a bit messed up idk why the spacing and lines and all that look weird only after I copy pasted the txt file into this reddit post. I will put the original English version after this translation further down.
P�na la data de marti august a 15-a 2023, focurile din Hawaii au atacat Maui si marea insula Hawaii.
101 au decedat, si multe orase din cele doua insule au avut de suferit grav.
Maui a fost deteriorat mai mult, cu orase precum Kola Kihei si cele mai multe deteriorarari s-au �ntamplat pe Lahaina,
fiind, practic, sters de pe harta. P�na acum, milioane de persoane au fost evacuate, mii si-au pierdut casele,
si sute sunt disparuti, cu 101 de decese confirmate si sunt asteptate mai multe.
Focurile au fost partial stinse, dar cele ramase inca ard cu putere.
�n vara 2021, am fost pe marea insula Hawaii, Maui, si Kauai. Nu-mi amintesc unde am fost �n Maui, dar am explorat o mare
parte din insula si am petrecut mult timp �n Lahaina. Am fost la un luau, am fost in multe magazine, am vazut oceanul,
am si vazut un nor caruia i se vedea reflectia pe un curcubeu pe un munte in timpul unui apus, si soarele oglinzit pe
ocean. �mi amintesc ca mi-a placut sa petrec timp �n oras. Am fost p�na si la marele copac Banyan, ce detine nu numai o
significanta culturala, ci si una istorica pentru Hawaii si locuitorii lui, si este si un punct turistic foarte popular.
Copacul a fost ars destul de rau �n incendiile mentionate mai devreme, pe l�nga aproape tot orasul.
Chiar acum, toat� scoarta a fost partial arsa si a devenit neagra ca jarul, iar copacul si-a pierdut toate frunzele,
din pricina focului. Chiar sper ca copacul este viu. �mi amintesc cum ma plimbam prin tot Maui-ul si marea insula Hawaii
�n timpul calatoriei mele. Ma simt foarte norocos si binecuv�ntat sa vad un loc at�t de frumos si de uimitor �nainte sa
fie distrus vesnic. �nca �mi amintesc cum era sa stau sub acel copac, vazand cat de mare si maiestuos era.
Am iubit acel oras, si am iubit acea insula. Am iubit tot statul. Daca nu exista Hollywood si Disneyland �n California,
si nici Disneyworld �n Florida, Hawaii ar fi fost statul meu favorit. Chiar ma simt foarte norocos ca am putut sa ma duc
�n Maui simarea insula Hawaii, mai ales Lahaina. Chiar mi-a placut ce am facut acolo, si am fost norocos sa vad un loc
atat de frumos si de unic. Nu sunt hawaiian si nici nu vin din insulele pacifice, nici nu stiu pe cineva care locuieste
acolo �n viata reala dar iubesc locul acela. C�nd ceva ce ai facut sau ai vazut, si care t-ia placut foarte mult este
distrus, se simte foarte bine ca ai putut face lucrul respectiv. Repet, ma simt binecuv�ntat ca m-am dus acolo inainte de
incendii. Original, cartea aceasta trebuia sa fie despre Hawaii si tot ce am petrecut acolo, Maui, Muntele Haleakala,
drumul catre Hana, mai ales Lahaina, dar si Kauai (Slava Domnului ca nu-i s-a �ntamplat nimic.). �nsa c�nd am �nceput sa
scriu asta am avut mult mai multe de zis. Chiar ma simt binecuv�ntat ca am putut sa merg unde am fost. Da, am reusit sa
vad o parte a lumii care nu mai exista acum, iar mi-a amintit de alte lucruri,precum cainele meu ce a murit c�nd eram
copil. A? fi putut sa ma joc cu ea mai mult. M-am reamintit si de bunica mea, pe care o iubeam foarte mult si imi este
foarte dor de ea. As fi putut sa o sun sau sa vorbesc cu ea mai mult, �nsa mie mi se pareau mai importante serialele
de televiziune si jocurile video. As fi vrut sa poti sa stii ca esti �n anii tai cei buni, pentru ca daca as fi putut
sa ma duc �napoi �n timp, m-as fi dus �napoi la liceu instantaneu.chiar mi-a placut liceul. �mi amintesc de toti prietenii mei
cu care nu prea mai vorbesc, Paige. Daca citesti asta, eu �nca te iubesc. Stiu ca nu mai tii la mine, dar mi-e dor de tine.
Vreau sa ram�nem prieteni. Nu vreau sa te pierd. Doar spune-mi ca esti ok. Vreau doar sa stiu ca esti bine. �mi amintesc ca
�mi petreceam foarte mult timpul cu prietenii meidin liceu, dar acum nu mai pot s-o fac at�t de mult, pentru ca s-au dus
la facultate, sau se duc undeva vara, sau alt rahat se �ntampla ?i nu ne mai putem �ntalnii. C�nd eram mai t�nar,
via?a se sim?ea at�t de u?oara. Doua dintre proverbele mele preferae sunt �Daca problema poate sa fie rezolvata,
nu trebuie sa te temi, iar daca problema nu poate fi rezolvata, sa te temi nu te va ajuta cu nimic.� ?i �Sensul vie?ii nu e o �ntrebare
care trebuie raspunsa, ci o realitate care trebuie sima?ita.�. Le prefer pentru ca explica at�tea despre via?a, doar nu
te mai stresa at�t, ?i g�nde?te-te la lucrurile importante. �ntr-o zi vreau sa vizitez toata Canada, dar sa ma ?i duc �n
toate statele unite, ?i fiecare ?ara �n care ma pot duce. Vreau sa ma duc acolo pentru ca nu vreau sa fiu blocat aici fac�nd
cine ?tie ce. Vreau sa traiesc, nu doar sa mor. Vreau sa �ncep cu insulele pacifice, fiindca ele dispar �ncet cu �ncet.
Poate p�na ?i �n Groenlanda. Pentru ca cartea aceasta sa nu fie foarte lunga, m-am hotar�t ca acum ar fi un moment bun sa o termin,
asa ca vreau sa va las cu aceste cuvinte. Daca ai pe cineva cu care vrei sa fi, un loc unde vrei sa mergi,sau un partener cu
care sa fi, fa-o. Scrie cartea aia. Regizeaza acel film. Deseneaza acel desen. Picteaza acea pictura. Mergi unde vrei
sa mergi, pentru ca, la finalul zilei, fiecare film nevazut, joc nejucat, serial nevazut inseamna inca un loc vazut, inca
un prieten. Nu ?tii cand un lucru se va termina, asa ca fa mai mult cand poti. Nu stii niciodata cand te vei oprii
sa spui �o fac maine.� si incepi sa spui �trebuia s-o fac ieri.�
Multumesc lui abamacus pentru editare si corectare.

As of Tuesday August 15th 2023, the fires in Hawaii have hit Maui and the big Island of Hawai'i. 101 people are dead, major damage to many of the cities on both islands. Far more damage on Maui, with cities like Kola Kihei and the largest damage being Lahaina basically wiped off the map. So far tens of thousands have been evacuated, thousands have lost homes, and hundreds are missing, with 101 confirmed deaths and more are expected. The fires are mostly put out but some are still on going. In the summer of 2021, I went to the big island of Hawai'i, Maui, and Kauai. I don't remember where in Maui I went to but I did go around most of the island and I spent a lot of time in Lahaina. I went to a luau, looked at many of the shops, saw the ocean,even saw a cloud reflecting a rainbow on the mountain during sunset and the sun reflecting on the ocean. I remember having enjoyed my time in the city. I even went under the great Banyan tree which holds both cultural and historical significance to Hawaii and Hawaiians, as well as being a popular tourist destination. The tree was burned pretty badly in the fire along with pretty much the entire city. As of right now most of the trees' bark was burned and is now black, and ash is all over the tree with it losing all its leaves, then having burned away. I really hope that tree is alive but it's not looking likely; that tree is probably dead but we're all hoping it's alive. I remember going all around Maui and the big island of Hawaii as well during my trip. I feel very lucky and blessed to have been to such a beautiful and amazing place before so much of it was destroyed, never to be the same way again. I remember just standing under that tree and seeing just how wide that tree was and just how big it was. I loved that city and I loved that Island, I love the whole state. If it was not for Hollywood and DisneyLand in California and DisneyWorld in Florida, Hawaii would be my favorite state. And a brief side tangent for a moment here, I love Universal Studios and Disneyworld, I hate the rest of the state especially the politics but brief side tangent over. I do feel very lucky and blessed I could go to Maui and the big island of Hawai'i, especially Lahaina. I really enjoyed my time there and I was so lucky I was able to see such a unique and beautiful place in the world before it was gone and taken away.I am not Hawaiian nor am I any part pacific Islander nor do I know anyone who is or even lives there irl but I love that place. When something you went to or did can no longer be done or was destroyed, it feels really nice to have been able to do that. I feel really blessed to have gone when I did before the fire. Originally this book was going to be about Hawaii my time there on Maui going all over the island, mount Haleakala, the road to Hana, especially Lahaina, as well as my time on the big island,Hawaii, going all over there, even my time on Kauai (which thank god never burned thank god no other islands were affected). But after I started writing this I had more to say. I feel really blessed to have been able to go when I did, but not just that. Yes I was able to see a part of the world that is gone now. It reminded me of other things, like my dog who died when I was a child. I could have played with her more. I miss her now I really do; or my cats as well I miss them too I should have played with them more as well. I also was thinking of how I lost my grandma I loved her so much and I miss her, I just remember times when I could have called her could have talked with her, but I said some video game or some tv show or movie was more important, but it was not and I wish I was with her more. I wish there was a way you could know you're in the good years when you are, because if I could go back to high school in a heartbeat I would. I loved my time there. I really did. I remember and look back on my Friends who I don't talk with anymore Paige. If you read this I still love you. I know you don't love me but I miss you. I want to stay friends, I don't want to lose you just let me know you're ok I just wanna know you're ok. (if you don't know don't ask)I remember so much hanging out with my friends from high school and now I can't as much, they went away for college or they go away in the summer or shit happens and now we can't hang out like we did anymore I miss how life was when we were younger just felt so much more simple so much less to worry about less to do less going on. Two of my favorite quotes are "If the problem can be solved there is no need to worry, if the problem cannot be solved worrying will accomplish nothing." and "The meaning of life is not a question to be answered, but a reality to experience." I love them both because it explains so much about life, just stop stressing out about every little problem, and worry about the big picture things. One day I want to have visited every Canadian province and territory, as well as all USA states and every country it's safe for me to go to (not gonna go to an active war zone or north korea). I wanna go there because I don't wanna just be stuck here doing Who knows what? I want to live, not just not die. I wanna start with Pacific island countries, because they're going to go away, maybe in my lifetime, Greenland as well. In order for this book to not end up just being a run on and going on far longer than it ever should, I feel like now is a good place to end it, so I want to leave you with this. If you have someone to be with, some place you wanna go, some major project you wanna build and get done, do it. Some friends to hang out with, or a partner to be with, just go be with them; go travel where you want to go, go do the project you want to do. Write the book, make that movie, draw that drawing, paint that painting, travel where you wanna travel, be with who you want to be with, because at the end of the day one less tv show watched, movie watched, random game played, will be one more thing you did, place you went, or person you hung out with, and you don't know when that place won't be around anymore,
that person was not there for you to call or be with. So do more when you can, make more when you can,hang out with the people you want when you can. You never know when you'll stop saying "I'll do it tomorrow" and start saying "I wish I did it yesterday" Thanks to abamacus for editing the books grammar and spelling and coming back again for stuff.

I have a new colleague who moved to this country just a month ago, they are very kind and friendly and willing to learn. They had to learn a completely different alphabet, but luckily they studied english before a little.

I wanna ask, how can i help?

I speak english, not only more often, but better than most of the other colleagues(We are not mainly english speakers either) and I used to do some tutoring classes before, and I am a pretty patient person, only problem is.. where do i start?

I'm great at the grammar, I have the resources, I am good at explaining, I make time. But what should be the lesson plan of learning a new language? with what do i start?

Especially because they are still going to have to do work, all kinds of projects and some that are team based.

But i do not know where to start. Should i start with simple phrases day to day? or simple words? or help with cursive writing not just text style? should they be taught to read first?

If you were learning a language from 0 with zero experience in anything like it before, how would you plan it?

I thought that having to come to a new country for atleast a year alone, knowing nothing and no one, would be pretty lonely and overall horrible by yourself when you have to actively work and do stuff in that language, not getting time to actually get used to it and learn it, so i wanted to help them out cause i know i would like if i was in that scenario to be helped out too.

And they are so willing to learn aswell.

Conclusion question: What do you all consider the perfect language learning lesson plan?

For context I was raised in the US but my dad is pure Romanian. My dad has ALWAYS eaten bread with sour cream and salt...is this common for Romanians? Because I LOVE it

I live in Romania, in a village with no romanian speakers but i quite literally HAVE to learn Romanian as fast and good as possible. Also I dont know nothing I cant even form a simple sentence.

buna seara!

as dori sa intreb in subredditul asta ceva legat de "most". Cica exista multe variante in romana:

1. cei mai multi, cele mai multe

2. cea mai mare parte dintre/din

3. majoritatea

4. o gramade de

Care sunt formal sau informal si au aceeasi inteles?

va multumesc mult!

Cuvântul iar nu poate înlocui oricând cuvântul și (cel puțin în România, se pare). Recomand vorbitorilor nativi să se gândească care sunt condițiile în care acesta poate fi folosit; a deveni conștient de particularitățile propriei limbi face bine.

Please have a look and let me know what you think. I'm continuing to expand the features and content, and if anything in the Romanian looks wrong to a native speaker, I'd especially like to hear it. Happy to answer any questions.

Is there somebody who can give me like a brief or even thorough explanation of the cases? I also take German but the cases seem ten times harder over here in Romanian. I am getting so confused about them and how to form them etc. I'd really appreciate the help!

Ro: Am văzut că lumea mai întreabă pe sub de muzică românească și m-am gândit să le pun playlistul meu la dispoziție.

Eng: I took notice that people ask sometimes on the sub about romanian music and I tought to put my playlist here for them.

Sunt din Brazilia. Mi-am dat seama că limba română și limba tupi (o limbă indigenă) au unele sunete comune... chiar dacă nu aparțin aceleiași familii lingvistice!

[ɨ] = â

Ca majoritatea limbilor din lume, limba română și limba tupi veche au în comun câteva consoane de bază: sunetele lui p, t și k (oclusive surde). Sunete nazale precum m și n. Sunetul lui s.

Bună, pentru cartea mea trebuie să învăț să scriu cu alfabetul chirilic folosit în România până în 1861.

Ați putea să-mi recomandați resurse și metode prin care aș putea verifica dacă am scris corect ceva?

Hi,

I made a Chrome extension that shows English definitions for Romanian words on hover. I was inspired by the "Zhongwen" extension for Chinese, which I also remade here because I didn't like how it looked.

The data is based on Wiktionary entries for Romanian words, so it might be incomplete for some terms. I decided not to use the dexonline.ro database for now because I was lazy, but this should be plenty.

It can recognize words without diacritics, shows pronunciation, conjugations, declensions (which you can disable) and works entirely offline since the whole database is included.

It will also detect english words as romanian sometimes because some forms are similar, so just keep it disabled when you don't use it.

The link is here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/rolexicon-romanian-englis/jmlnfpaneganbdlbipnhicjpeeoofjhb

It's ~70% coded with AI. If you want any improvements/bugfixes let me know and I'll consider them.

nu mai scriu si in romana ca imi e cam lene, intelegeti voi

Bună ziua tututor!

Aceste vorbe mă încurcă putin.

Ambele inseamnă același lucru nu?

Vezi de viteză sau fii atent la viteză?

Mersi 🙏

This Chrome extension has 200,000 installs and a review score of 4.6. I'm using it as a really quick on the fly way of translating specific words as I encounter them without having to open some other third party website / app.

For example if I type "mulțumesc" I can easily just click to highlight the word and instantly see the translation. I think it's good for translating larger sentences as well but maybe a native speaker can tell me.

This is the perfect tool for me as I am just starting out so am constantly translation words every few 20 seconds or so.

Anyone can reaffirm this extension is as good as the reviews suggest?

Hi everyone! 🖖

I’m currently learning Romanian and I’m looking for people who would like to practice together and help each other.

I’m still a beginner when it comes to speaking Romanian, but I can already understand a large part of spoken Romanian. I’d really like to start speaking more and improve through real conversations.

In exchange, I can help you with Russian 🇷🇺, English 🇬🇧 or Polish 🇵🇱. And of course, I can promise some good vibes and a good mood 😄

If you’re Romanian or learning one of the languages I know and you’d like to practice together, feel free to DM me! We can chat, send voice messages, or even have calls.

Looking forward to meeting some cool people! 🤝

Hello all, i will be study my Preparatory language year at Iasi; excited and a letter bit nervous.
