Asking for clarification in Romanian

Asking for clarification in
a foreign language using open questions is a complex function you need to
master, if you want to refine your command of Romanian. In this lesson you’re being
presented with the basics of using open-ended questions and asking for
clarification.

As usual, we
begin with a bunch of relevant words and phrases:

Peste proaspat=fresh
fish

Piata de
peste=fish market

Miine
dimineata=tomorrow morning

A gasi=find

Certificat de
garantie=vehicle warranty certificate

Scump=expensive

Now let us use
some of the words in meaningful sentences:

Crezi ca am sa
gasesc peste proaspat la piata de peste, daca merg acolo miine dimineata,
inainte de ora 9?

Do you think I
can find fresh fish at the fish market, if I go there tomorrow morning before
9am?

Credeti ca
masina aceasta este inca in garantie ? Mi se pare cam
scumpa, la 9.000 Euro.

Do you think
the vehicle warranty certificate for this car is still valid? It seems a little
bit expensive, for 9,000 Eur.

Crezi ca poti
sa-mi trimiti bibliografia pentru examen pina mine, la ora 1300 ?

Do you think
you can send me the bibliography for the exam by tomorrow at 1pm ?

Thank you ALL for the interest you
take in Romanian culture, and for being so keen on learning Romanian with us.
Good Bye! La revedere!
