Romanian language (limba Română) is being discussed In Romania and In Moldova. In addition, Romanian is spoken as a minority language, e.g. In Hungary, In Ukraine, In Bulgaria mixed In Serbia.
Understand
Romania is the closest of the languages spoken today to Latin. The closest to modern-language Romania is Italy, whose expertise is useful.
Say it
Romanian is pronounced in almost the same way as it is written. Letters are usually pronounced the same way in all words, but there are exceptions.
Vowels
Pronounced as in Finnish with the following exceptions:
- ă, no equivalent in Finland
- â , î, both are pronounced in the same way (â is a new spelling and thus more commonly used), no equivalent in Finnish
Consonants
Pronounced as in Finnish with the following exceptions:
- c, before i or e is pronounced as ts sound, otherwise like k in Finnish
- ch, is pronounced like k in Finnish
- g, before i or e is pronounced as a dj (GeOrge, džfishing rod or džinni), otherwise as g
- gh, is pronounced like g in Finnish
- j, pronounced reminiscent of a mouthful (as j in the French word bonjour)
- q, is pronounced like k in Finnish
- r, is pronounced strongly, as in Finnish rr
- ş, in the mouth
- ţ, the ts vowel, the vowel following the letter ţ is usually pronounced muffled
- w, is pronounced as v in Finnish
- y, pronounced as i in finnish
