Romanian Without Tears
România Internațional, 26.06.2015, 15:06
Since the weather of late has been pretty bad in Romania, we will be looking at how Romanians talk about poor weather.
Lets begin with some new words and notions:
– rain = ploaie
– clouds = nori
– cloudy = innorat
– puddle = balta
– wind = vant
– storm = furtuna
– overcast skies = cer acoperit
– bad weather = vreme proasta
– hail = grindina
– flood = inundatie
Now let’s use these words in sentences.
They announced rain.
S-a anuntat ploaie.
There are thick clouds in the sky.
Pe cer sunt nori grosi.
Yesterday it was cloudy.
Ieri a fost innorat.
I stepped into a puddle.
Am calcat in balta.
The wind is blowing.
Bate vintul.
Tomorrow we have overcast skies.
Maine avem cer acoperit.
This summer we have a lot of bad weather.
Vara asta avem multa vreme proasta.
The hail damaged the roof.
Grindina a stricat acoperisul.
Because of this rain we risk having a flood.
Din cauza ploii riscam inundatie.
