Spoken language is flexible and dynamic.
However, even a native speaker of Romanian cannot master the whole range of
expressions and phrases used when you want to approach somebody, make friends
or warm up the conversation with somebody you have just met. Today you’ll be
presented with some of the most frequently used such phrases.


As usual, we
begin with a series of basic expressions:


Bine =Allright


Bine=Okay


Da, desigur!=Yes, of course!


Bineinteles ca nu!=Of course not!


Glumiti! =You’re joking! Formal


Glumesti! =You’re joking! Informal


How’s it going? =Cum sinteti?


Nici vorba! = No way!


Care este adresa ta de email? = What is you email
address?


Iata adresa mea de email = Here is my email
address




Now let us use some fo the expressions in meaningful
communicative patterns.





Ai vrea sa ne vedem mai tirziu
la o cafea?

Da, desigur!


Would you like to join me later for a cup of coffee?


Yes, of course!


Din cauza unor
probleme, va exista interdictia de a merge in oras dupa ora 10 pm.


Glumiti! Traim
intr-un oras european.


Because of some problems, there will be a curfew, which
means we should not be outdoors after 10pm.


You’re joking!We live in a European city.


Cum sinteti ? Nu
v-am mai vazut in parc in ultima vreme.


How’s it going? I haven’t seen you in the park lately.


Ati vrea sa aveti grija de catelul nostru cit sintem plecati
in vacanta?


Nici vorba!


Would you like to look after our puppy while we’re away
on holiday?


No way!




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!
