Romanian is not a very difficult language for us Italians to learn, as it derives from Latin just like our Italian and is similar to all other Romance languages ​​such as French and Spanish.

In Romanian, as in Italian, there are different forms depending on whether the conversation is formal or informal. The informal pronoun is you (you) and the formal one is dumneavoastra. In addition, there is also a particular expression to refer formally to other people without speaking to them directly. When it comes to she (intended as a girl) is used dumneaei; when it comes to hedumnealui; while to talk about their it is used dumnealor. Note that the formal form should be used with the verb al plural belonging to the right person.

Romanian should not be confused with Roma and Roman, which are respectively the language spoken by the Gypsies and the dialect of the city of Rome.

The name Romania and its derivatives come from the Latin 'Romanus', and are etymologically linked to Rome, the capital of the Roman Empire.

In the past, Romania had a sizeable minority of Germans, although today the number of Germans has decreased. However, German is still studied in Romania as a foreign language, and, due to German cultural influence, is used as the second (or third) official language in much of Transylvania.

The neologisms present in Romanian come from Italian, German, French and recently from English. Slang originates from French, German and the language of the gypsies.

Romanian uses the Latin alphabet, and the Latin root can help tourists understand some signs, such as Alimentara (Alimentari), Farmacie (Pharmacy), and Poliţie (Police). Some signs, however, are 'false friends' - for example Librărie means stationery and not bookstore; and therefore, if you have a decent phrase book you can avoid these confusions

Hungarian is used in eastern Transylvania and in some cities such as Miercurea-Ciuc, Targu-Mures, Oradea, Cluj-Napoca, Satu-Mare; if you know it you have an advantage. Hungarian is used as a second language in counties such as Covasna and Harghita.

Romanian is generally seen as a grammatically complex language. it's easy for us to pronounce; The English, on the other hand, are in difficulty with this phonetic system. Romanian is rich in vowels, and has a number of diphthongs and even triptyongs, which gives it a melodious and musical sound.

A foreigner who wants to learn to speak Romanian must expect mixed reactions from the local people. Many Romanians would certainly appreciate the fact that you make an effort to get closer to their language, while others may make fun of you for not being able to pronounce the words correctly.

The Romanian alphabet is the same as the Italian one for almost all letters apart from five accented letters which are: ă, ş, ţ, â, î.

This Romance language contrasts in comparison to all other Slavic languages ​​spoken in neighboring countries. In fact, Romanian linguists are proud to say that the Romanian language is a Romance language in a sea of ​​Slavs.
