"Tu chiar ai vrut să mai stau sau ai ziso doar ca sa fii politicos?"

Happy bday, I hope you have a wonderful day. It's been beautiful having encountered you, and I would want (long for) that you don't move to Spain. I hope that you return on vacation. Much love from the part of (an idiomatic expression)...

I can translate better to eng from ro than the opposite way around

grozav=great
din partea=from

"de la"=from but its used when you are moving ...ex: Am venit de la Bucuresti.(I came from Bucharest)

Please don't be upset at this correction, as I'm sure you know much much more and better romanian than I know, but I'm quite sure it is incorrect to write "mi-aş fii dorit..." "mi-aş fi dorit" is correct. The second usage, after să, I believe correct however.

I was wondering about that... I thought fii with 2 i's is for the conjugated participle for tu. The second is certainly correct.

Ok, mersi frumos

Aman is an expression that can be used in different ways.

*for goodness sake
*watch it! be carefull!
*mercy, help
*please
*oh!
*Oof!/God!/Lord!/Lord help us! (indicating disgust or anger)
*Pardon

it depends on the way of saying it.

Aman Tanrım : oh my god
Aman dikkat : Watch out! be carefull!
Aman! kaza ile oldu: Pardon it was an accident
Aman ne kötü : Oh thats too bad
Aman yaaa : oh thats too bad

if u can say where it was used i can try to explain better, it is something about the sound , how u use it mostly. an expression so the way of telling it is important.

I noticed in both translations, you agree on the 'chiar eşti' line. I have a lot of trouble with all of the different nuances of short words like mai and chiar. My first english word of translation for chiar is 'even', and next is 'just' Neither of those really fit this example.

Can someone help me understand how chiar fits here to give the meaning intended?

Also, could 'cu adevărat' be used instead of chiar to have a similar meaning in this case?

thanks
dave

Just you? Even you? Certainly you? Chiar can also mean something like "certainly".

cu adevărat = certainly or truly, but ask a native... I don't think you can because it's used more as "really?" or "truly?"...

Thanks a lot for your explanations, they're very useful
The expression is simple : "aman aman", I've heard it so many times..I thought it could mean something like "ufff ufff"..correct me if I'm wrong
