    Louchi, you can set your keyboard to recognize it and to be able to write with diacritics.
    Πάρε φιλιά, πάρε καρδιά και μη νοιαστείς για μένα.
    Πάρε ό,τι ζει κι άσε με εκεί
    μόνο στο τίποτα...

    Or if keyboard language doesn't work, you might have to find another language pack. But it should work. They should be in the punctuation keys. This is what my t thing looks like ţ. şŞţŢăĂîÎâ heh.. found them.

    ȘșȚț are DIFFERENT characters than ŞşŢţ. The first ones are those recommended when writing Romanian (but who cares ). Perhaps you have to enlarge the character set installed.

    So you have two issues: one is that you can't type these leters and another is that you see them selectively in different posts? For the second one, you could try something: View--> Encoding then select Western European. If that is already selected... I don't know...

    I guess you meant ȘșȚț are different from SsTt

    Red face Translation Please

    Buna!

    Because I am so in love with a wonderful Romanian man, I am trying to learn romanian. My two biggest issues are vocabulary and verb conjugation, but I am trying to learn a little every day.

    I would appreciate it if someone would please translate the following for me.

    When I stop to think about how much you mean to me, my heart swells in my chest until it aches with joy. Every part of me longs for every part of you. You are everything I've ever wanted in a man.

    Multumesc foarte mult.

    Not at all. This link is really interesting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanian_alphabet, especially after "Unicode and HTML".

    Literally(you could use this version for your own understanding of the language mechanisms) : Când mă opresc să mă gândesc la cât de mult însemni pentru mine, mi se umflă inima în piept până cand doare de fericire. Fiecare parte din mine tânjește după fiecare parte din tine. Tu ești tot ce mi-am dorit vreodată de la un bărbat

    Now, if you want it to also sound nice and natural in Romanian, it would go like this:
    Când mă gândesc la cât de mult însemni pentru mine, inima îmi tresaltă de fericire atât tare încât mă doare. Totul din mine tânjește după totul din tine. Ești tot ce mi-am dorit vreodată.

    Of course, anybody with poetic imagination could bring their contribution and make this declaration sound nicer than I managed to. Where are you guys? Igrec??

    Excuse me, I didn't even notice the first "lot" was with a comma and the second with a cedilla And I don't think I've ever paid attention to how these letters actually look when typed. As for handwritting, the distinction between comma and cedilla is basically a matter of .... calligraphy!

    Excuse me...can someone tell me how to explain to another person, who is Romanian, that 'we are in the process of building our business into a franchise operation...with outlets all across the country'? (the country is the USA)

    Can't seem to find the right type of 'franchise' in the dictionary.

    Multumesc.

    'we are in the process of building our business into a franchise operation...with outlets all across the country'?

    Suntem în proces de francizare... cu puncte de lucru în toată ţara.

    The Romanian term for franchise is franciză. For the type of action you described we use the word derived from the verb: a franciza - to give others franchise. Therefore francizare is the action itself, while franciză is the concept.

    Wow ! I'm back and I can't believe how many persons want to learn Romanian. Good luck guys ! I'm sure you came in the right or more convenient place.

    Tiberiu, vezi ca cei de la sectiunea de Limba Greaca sunt destul de buni, chiar foarte buni. Cei care se ocupa cu asta sunt nativi si nu scriu prostii. Multa bafta !

    Thumbs up Multumesc!

    I'm so glad that I found this forum. I have been looking for several years for someplace where I could find assistance in learning Romanian without much luck. It was only today that I stumbled upon this. I'm so glad that I have found this place and look forward to chatting in here and expanding what little I know in Romanian.

    I found this tool while looking to solve my own difficulties with the diacritics, maybe it will be useful to some others here--

    http://romanian.typeit.org/

    Also Google Translate has now added Romanian to their list of languages, I don't know how accurate it is for Ro-to-English & vice versa (be careful of non-literal expressions etc), but it may be another useful learning tool nonetheless--
