E corect?

Cred ca da. Asta inteleg la fel.

Construind = building/constructing
din talent = from talent/skillfully.

poate astepti pentru un roman sa raspunda.

Buna seara.

Yesterday I found a Romanian book in a second hand bookstore, I was so shocked lol I had to buy it.

O Ancheta Dificila by Nicolae Neagu

I think that is 'A difficult Investigation' ?? and I am guessing it is a crime novel. I am excited to read it but fear it will take me years hahaha

O seara frumoasa.x

Oh, how cool!!!

Yes;that's right Darcy

Hi everyone,
i am very new here but i am so happy i found a site like this.
i need some help in a phrase i think.
"Asteapta-ma la jumatatea drumului"
i learned that it means "meet me halfway" but wondering if this has a meaning different then that ?

Literally, it means "wait for me at the half of the way", so I'm not really sure what you mean.
așteapta = wait (command form)
mă = me (for me, in this case)
la = at
jumatatea = the half
drumului = the way's (possessive form, aka the genitive)

By the way, welcome, Ercmnt!!!

Thanks for the fast answer.

No problem! Usually I'm around every day, and can help you with most basic questions, though I've been studying for a very short time on my own time!

I found this strange expression in a forum:



ferit-a Sfăntu' să zici ceva...


What does it mean?

Away from the Saint to say something...


Where'd you find that? Is it a signature? (Isn't it Sfântu anyways, not Sfăntu?)

It's hard to translate it into English ..and I can't remember its English equivalent now ....

It's an expression used by someone to forbid you to say something you know about something / someone .

I hope you've got it ..maybe someone will come with a better explanation

and any idea about aucci...? it was typed exactly as aucci... an expression like auch ?

Yes, that's probably it.

How do I say

did you have some fruit bread or did your brother eat it all?

xxx

Ai mâncat pâine de fructe, sau (?) a mâncat pe toate (?) fratele tău?

Maybe check it with a native speaker

Not sure if you should use "iar" instead of "sau", or something else... And the second part of the sentence is maybe a little awkward Not sure in what order this goes (subject before or after verb???)

thankyou, the second half is what confused me too.

LOL, I tried! Maybe I'll learn something too when someone else posts here

I have used

ne vedem curand

to be see you soon, but then read it translated as 'shall we see each other soon?'...as in more of a question....so can it be both a statement and a question?

Also I saw 'pe curand' does this mean see you soon aswell?
