Today we take you to the chemist’s in Bucharest. The weather is still unseasonably warm throughout the country; however, mornings and evenings are quite cold and that may catch some of you unawares, and you may need something to cure or maybe stave off any form of flu for the coming winter.


As usual, we begin wits a series of useful words and phrases.


Farmacie=chemist’s


Client=customer/client


Picatura=drop


Nas=nose


Picaturi de nas=nose drops


Copil=child


Adult=adult/grown-up


Amindoi/amindoua=both


Reteta= prescription


Recomanda=recommend


Pastila=tablet


Fiola=phial



Now, let us some some of the the words in meaningful conversation patterns:

Buna ziua! Cu ce va putem servi?

Good afternoon! How may I/we help you?


As dori aspirina calcica si picaturi de nas.


I should like some calcium aspirin and some nose drops, please.



Pentru copii sau pentru adulti?

For children or for adults?


Pentru copii, dar prefer sa-mi preparati picaturile de nas dupa reteta.


For children, but I’d like you to prepare the nose drops according to a prescription.


Totul va fi gata dupa-amiaza aceasta.


Everything will be ready this afternoon.


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