    Yes to the last question... As for the first... I think it's correct? Unless that needs a "pe" too?

    esti mistocara(f) is something like :you're a mocker.

    Can you help me with : " you are the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me " ?
    Can i use " eşti cel mai bun lucru care mi se întâmplă" or any better ideas?

    "the best thing or the most beautiful thing" i dont know which one will sound better in Romanian but if i have a choice i would like "the most beautifull thing".

    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?

    Ne vedem curând-see you soon

    O să ne vedem curând?-Shall we see each other soon ?

    Pe curând -see you soon (informal , between friends)

    Tu eşti cel mai frumos lucru care mi s-a întâmplat -you are the most beautiful thing that ever happen to me

    Tu eşti cel mai bun lucru care mi s-a întâmplat -you are the best thing that ever happened to me

    They both sound right in Romanian . I think it depends on your feelings what you're gonna choose

    If "Te ador" is "I adore you", how do you say, "I adore ___" (insert the person's name)?

    Să-l ador ____. (Not sure if you have to use "pe" after?)

    By the way... I posted this on the other thread, but it really goes here:

    Ohhh I just looked up "zadar"...It means "vain" or "futile", vain as in a vain attempt.

    As for the verbs, it's easiest to know the infinitives, then how to conjugate--I had a hard time at first, too... But now I can even recognize new verbs!

    Here's a site to help you out:
    http://www.verbix.com/languages/romanian.shtml
    (even if your computer types the special characters, Verbix doesn't always recognize them, so use the shortcuts they give you!)

    And if you have a word you think is a conjugation of a verb but aren't sure...
    http://tools.verbix.com/findverb/
    (same warning applies here!)

    Yes Te ador -I adore you is correct

    so you'll say

    Te ador person's name would be ->I adore you person's name

    ex: Te ador Andreea -I adore you Andreea.

    I used a female name cuz I'm guessing you're a guy.

    Oh, I thought Stevo meant "I adore (another person)", but not speaking to her/him!

    for a man or boy, " îl ador pe ________"

    for a woman or girl, " o ador pe _________"


    Actually this trend continues anytime a person, or group of people, is/are the direct object of a verb. If i wanted to say, "I adore policemen". Or I adore <female> friends, you still must use "pe", but would use a different word before the verb. In the former example, you see "îl" and "o". Those are both pronouns, in this case accusative pronouns. For some reason, in romanian, whenever a person or group of people is the direct object of a verb, you must use the word "pe" and also the appropriate accusative pronoun.

    îl is singular masculine accusative pronoun
    o is singular feminine
    îi is plural masculine
    le is plural feminine.

    I adore (the) policemen then is " îi ador pe poliţişti "
    I adore (the) friends (female) is " le ador pe prietene"

    hello, how do I say.

    I am sorry,I did not see your messages last night.

    I tried to put this together but I have no idea if any of it is correct or in the right order.

    'Imi pare rau, nu am vazut mesajele tale, noapte tracuta'

    should I have used 'aseara'


    This is so difficult, i think i should just stick to learning lists of vocabulary lol
