If theres any language area where Romanian and English are most different from one another, that is the use of the prepositions or of the adverbs turned prepositions.
Today we begin a series focusing on linking devices in Romanian, from the simple to the more complex ones.
Here is a bunch of useful words and phrases:
In =in
Inauntru, in interior=Inside
In casa=inside the house
Afara=outside
Cu=with
Cu mine=with me
Fara=without
Fara mine=without me
Sub=under
Sub masa=under the table
Inainte=before
Inainte de rasarit=before sunrise
And here are some meaningful sentences including some of the words:
Pisica noastra s-a ascuns sub masa.
Our kitty hid under the table.
Afara, oamenii scandau lozinci anti-guvernamentale.
Outside the house, people were shouting anti-governmental slogans.
