Going shopping every day provides a good opportunity to practise basic Romanian, especially if you want to develop conversational exchange skills, should you need to buy food and drink. This time it’s a bunch of food and drink words you’ll be exposed to, in the hopes that you’ll be quick to acquire functional Romanian.


Here is a series of useful words and expressions:


Brinza=cheese


Cafea=coffee


Carne=meat


Cirnat=sausage


Legume=vegetables


Ou=egg


Piine=bread


Proaspat=fresh


Salata=salad


Sandvis=sandwich


Sare=salt


Suc=juice


Unt=butter


Vin=wine


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


You can buy fresh vegetables for a reasonable price close to the place I live.


Poti sa cumperi legume proaspete la un pret bun, aproape de zona unde locuiesc eu.


A strong coffee in the morning really gets me going.


O cafea tare dimineata este intr-adevar revigoranta.


Bread and butter used to be the staple food in our grandparents’ time.


Pinea cu unt era mincarea de baza pe vremea bunicilor nostri.


When I was a kid, my grandmother used to prepare a tomato-and-cheese sandwich for me to take to school.


Cind eram copil, bunica imi pregatea un sandvis cu rosii si brinza pe care il luam cu mine la scoala.


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!
