România Internațional, 14.02.2016, 12:00

Romanians are obsessed with diet, and staying healthy largely depends on the amount of fruit you eat, so in this lesson you will be presented with words denominating fruit.

As usual, we start with several useful words and phrases:

capsuna=strawberry

mar=apple

para=pear

pruna=plum

cireasa=cherry

visina=sour cherry

portocala=orange

lamiie=lemon

piersica=pear

caisa=apricot

ananas=pineapple

Now let us use some of the words and phrases in meaningful, communicative patterns:

Visinele sint ideale pentru prepararea unei salate de fructe racoritoare.

Sour cherries are ideal for making a refreshing fruit salad.

Bautura traditionala facuta din prune sau pere este cunoscuta drept tuica in Romana.

The traditional plum brandy made of plums or peas is known as tuica in Romanian.

You can buy the best apricot jam in the supermarket across the street.

Fratelui meu ii place sa manince capsune cu zahar.

Ciresele sunt fructul meu preferat.

Ananasul este fructul ideal intr-o cura de slabire.
