by Smilefriend (UN), 2013-11-05, 11:02   Spam?  

I just wanted to say in romanian

If i drive you crazy you drive me insane

You hurt me and you don't care

Your words cut through me like a knife cuts through butter, just because i really love you. But you shouldn't take advantage of that, because i end up bleeding with no one by my side to help.

I hate telling people our fights, because i don't want you to look bad. But you walk away and i really do sometimes need someone to vent to. You drive me insane love.

My love to you hurts

When you make me happy you make me really happy, and when you make me sad you make me really sad...

If you just know how much i love you, you wont hurt me as much as you do

Your jealousy will ruin us

Your jealousy turns you into a monster :(

- hey friends im really sorry for all these but it would be great if you even tell me the meaning of one hehehehe thanx brothers and sisters :)))

Ok?pentru kä ancep si ieu munka..

Answer:

by daria (RO/AT), 2013-09-06, 00:24   Spam?  

That is not correct Romanian spelling. But a possible translation could be: "Ok? Because I'm also starting to work.." or "Ok? Because my work is starting too.."

I read the following sentence in a book:
Voi ce bine, voi ce frumoasã.
Is there anyone who can translate this?

Answer:

by Deutschy (RO), 2013-07-10, 09:33   Spam?  

To your sentence:

"voi" is a pronoun for 2 person plural and in your sentence could be a vocative and can be translated with:
You, how good/well (Voi, ce bine)
You, how beautiful (she is) (Voi, ce frumoasă (e))
You, what a beautiful woman ...

it is a little unusual to speak like that.
maybe your context could help more

or it could be the interjection "vai" and can be translated with "ah", "oho" , "my!'
Ah, how good/well.
My! How beautiful she is.

http://hallo.ro/search.do?d=en&l=ro&type=both&query=voi

I hope it helps you to understand better this sentence.

Hi slinzy,

I just wanted to mention that Roma is different from Romanian. Romanian is the national language in Romania. Roma is the language of Roma people(gypsies).
So, if you really want to tattoo something from Roma culture, you probably should try it in Roma language, as it is totally different than Romanian. ;)

I have this document that is my wife's chat with her friend. She showed it to me, even though I have no clue how to translate romanian. I really need to know what is said, as I suspect the conversation. Please, please translate this so I can finally know what transpired!

Natalie's side of this has no spaces, for that I have no idea why; it makes translation via Google impossible.

Thanks so much in advance!

it's like expecting people to translate an article or longer text for you... maybe best to read it together with a Romanian friend.

anyways, I looked at it and there's nothing suspicious or worrisome with it, just a chat between friends...

plus if you need peace of mind, or are jealous of her, that's your problem, not hers -- as long as you are nice and loving with her, that's all you can do. Controlling or forcing someone to not do some things is not ok!

So chillax!

We, in Romania, are not marriage counselors but we still do answer an honest question. What does it mean? :)
She showed it to you, that's what she showed you then.

Marksman, I very much appreciate your hard work on this, you verified many facts for me.

This man pretended that he didn't mean to come on to my wife over the internet; worse still, SHE, after a sudden "change of heart" at the exact 2 year anniversary of her Green Card, says she plans to move in with this guy, and her wife. That's not right, it's completely unfair to his wife to not know about this relationship. Thanks again.

by Smilefriend (UN), 2013-11-05, 10:52   Spam?  

I know your wife purely did wrong... But before you guys break your marriage try to fix stuff, even though its not the best thing to do... If the relationship is worth it she might learn... I wish nothing turns totally bad though tc, brother :)))

Hello!
I am a native English speaker teaching English in Hungary and I would like to ask for a little help.
I am translating a story from Hungarian to English. It is set in a Hungarian village in Transylvania and one of the characters is a Romanian policeman. He is not a figure of fun and the writer does not mock him in any way. This character can speak enough Hungarian to make himself understood (although he sometimes drops Romanian words into his sentences), but he does, however, make quite a few grammatical mistakes.
Of course I know what the typical errors of Hungarian learners are, but I was wondering whether anybody could tell me about the most common mistakes Romanian learners of English make (because of trying to translate literally from one language to another).
Is there a tense they do not like to use?
Do they have problems with the third person singular?
Do they mix up “he” and “she”?
Do they make mistakes with word order, plurals, to infinitive, past participle, or anything else…?
With thanks in advance for any ideas and suggestions,
Paul C

Suggestions:
The most common mistakes that Romanian learners of English make are caused by "false friends" or by homophones or homographs:
e.g.

2. http://razvanbucur.ro/2012/03/07/greseli-comune-din-limba-engleza/

3.  Spelling mistakes for words ending in "y":

4. Spelling mistakes for third person singular:

i have just noticed i said "have a great christmas" twice, i apologise for this, it is 5 am for me, and it has been a stressful night.

Answer:

by Sophie-Dea (DE), 2012-12-23, 14:41   Spam?  

Unlike the English language, the Romanian language distinguishes between the 2nd person singular and the 2nd person plural.

Since you call him/her your friend, you probably mean the 2nd person singular.

"Vă doresc toate cele bune pentru Crăciun" /"i wish you all the best for Christmas"

"Ma gândesc la tine acest Crăciun" / "thinking of you this christmas"

Please note, that I am not Romanian native speaker.

Best wishes, Sophie

Are you sure that "fraera" ist correctly spelled?

Answer:

by unreal2 (RO), Last modified: 2013-04-26, 01:17   Spam?  

When someone tells you in Romanian: Ce fraier (male) / fraiera (female) esti! that means  You're such a schmuck / sucker!
