Going shopping every day
provides a good opportunity to practise basic Romanian, especially if you want
to develop conversational exchange skills, if you need to buy food and drink.
So today 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.


As usual, we begin
with 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 expressions in meaningful sentences:


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


Poti sa
cumperi legume proaspete 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.
