Hi! This thread is for everyone who wants to learn a little Romanian! Post here if you need some help in translating something to Romanian or if you want to ask me something about this language and I'll be happy to help you!

And I'll be happy to help helping!

*bounce* I get first translation post! *cackles*

How do you say, "I won't forget you"?

[Just for future reference, I'll probably have two-four wanted translations a day ]

You say it like this: "nu am să te uit"

I would love to help, but I'm not going to be on very often anymore, since I kinda got banned from the computer. I'm really happy that people want to learn Romanian. It's a really easy language to learn, and it's very beautiful.

EDIT: I'll be back on SS, like fully back, somewhere in the middle of Febuary, because the first term at our school is almost over, and teachers are killing us with projects and test, and I must make First Class Honour Roll, or I'll be grounded for a reaaaally long time.

hmm... it's not THAT easy to learn, especially not online!
oh, could u pls pm me again with waht exactly would you like me to translate? teh link you gave me kinda led to the same thing!

Alex: I'm writing this way, because we're not really supossed to be chatting in here, but I'll let it go this time. I'll Forward you the PM that Chriss sent me, I've been doing some more translating too, when I had time. Now I'll just have to post it.

Oo thanks! But would it be too much to ask for a pronunciation key? I know other language accents, but I don't have the slightest clue about Romanian.

Um, I can't really do the 'pronunciation key' thingy...
well, you pronounce it kinda the same, but the 'a' in 'am' is read like... the 'a' in the word 'car'
and ă is read like 'er', but you don't hear the 'r', it's mute

sorry, I'm not from an english-speaking country, I'm originaly from Romania!

I don't get the pronunciation key either, but I could always ask my mum for help 'coz she was an English teacher in Romania, so she knows this stuff.

OMG, I got a great idea, I'll record my voice for how to say it, and you can listen to it.

EDIT: When I find my STUPID MICROPHONE THAT I LOST. *DIES*

yeah, i got that idea too, but my dad is here...
do ya know any servers that allow uploading audio files? So that you can post a link here?

Hmm .. an easy one. How do you say "Hello"? Or whatever the Romanian greeting is.

We use more the italian one, 'ciao' no one uses 'servus', or very few people anyway

Yes we use the italian "ciao" quite often but the Romanian for "Hello" is "Salut" or "Bună". TrixiePixie do you speak spanish? Because the Romanian pronunciation is the same as in Spanish. And just like Cooly_s said : "ă" is pronunced like the "a" from the word "cat" and "a" is pronunced like the "a" from the word "car".
And is the pronunciation key the strange letters between the brakets, near every word from a dictionary? Or that thing is only in my Romanian-English dictionary?

No, I think those are the pronuciation keys, I have them in my spanish guide!

But ă isn't pronounced like 'a' from the word 'cat'

"ă" isn't pronunced like the ''a'' from the word ''cat'' (pisica) ?! Oh yes it is pronunced like that!

TrixiePixie if those are the pronunciantion keys then I'll tell you how to pronounce ''Salut'' and ''Bună'' as soon as I find my dictionaries

um... the 'a' in cat is pronounced like the german 'ä', if you know how it is pronounced

No, I do not speak spanish, but I do speak french and italian.

Yeah, that's the pronunciation key.

If the Romanian "Salut" is the same as the French "Salut" then I know how to pronounce it.

Adding to my last post -- how do you say, I love you?

In French when you say "Salut" you don't pronunce "t" and (this is kinda hard to explain...) "ut" from the word "Salut" is pronunced like the word "you" from in English. But in Romanian you pronunce all the letters . I hope you understand what I'm trying to say..."Salut" in Romanian is pronunced more like in Italian.

And "I love you" in Romanian is "Te iubesc"

Ok I've found on a site how to write the pronunciation key and I'll try writing it .
So...for "Salut" it should be something like this [sält] (the accent is on the letter "u") and for "Bună" is something like this [bn], the accent is again on "u". I hope you understand.....In my dictionary everything is different, I would write you in my way but I can't find a good font for this!

Or...If you want it without the strange symbols it will be like this:
1 "Salut" - "Sah-loot"
2 "Bună" - "Boo-na"

Oh...I forgot "te iubesc" would be something like this "teh-you-behsc"
I really hope you understand what I'm trying to say...

Yes, yes, I understand. Thank the lord I learned how to read pronunciation keys when I was younger, lol.

Thanks so much for helping me out with my translations.

In addition to that, how do you say "Thank you" and "You're welcome"?

I usually use domaindlx for uploading .wav files.

Thank You - Multumesc [mul-su-mesc]
You're Welcome - cu placere [i'm sorry, i have no clue whatsoever how to write the pronunciation on this one, maybe Ruxanda or Sandra knows]

"Mulţumesc" is pronounced like [mul-tsu-mesc]
"Cu plăcere" is like this [coo-pla-che-reh]

Haha, sa vezii aici in Canada, oamenii nu pot sa pronunte 'ţ'. Numele meu este ţiclea, si sa vezii cu incearca sa imi pronunte numele si nu pot.
