Learning Romanian language

What is the difference between saying "azi" and "astăzi"? Is there a different usage for each, or are they interchangeable?

You are right, they mean the same thing and are interchangeable . azi is the short form of astăzi, only shorter.

Mersi, Mike

I'm glad you wrote this above, because it brings a question to mind I've never before considered..

I believe a mulţumi requires dative pronouns.

While I'm not sure, I believe the correct form would actually be either vă mulţumesc lui Kmmy şi lui Mike (if you are speaking to them) and le mulţumesc lui Kimmy şi lui Mike (if you are speaking about them)..

Although it may be unclear, I'm actually asking this as a question, and am looking forward to the answer..

Thanks

dave

@dave: you are right about the case when is spoken about us, but when he thanks us should be : multumesc kmmy si mike.... there's no need to use pe/lui or smth else.

* i didnt even see that "pe"


@dragonfly: you are welcome ( sorry for the late answer )

Good to know. I guess it is exactly as in english, where if I were to thank you directly, I'd say "thank you kmmy" where if I were to talk ABOUT you and thank you, I'd say "thanks to kmmy"

So, again, speaking to you and not about you.... Thank you kmmy!!!

dave

LOL, once again mersi

Can someone please help me understand the difference between "a veni" and "a sosi"?

there's not really a difference... hmm let's say that "a sosi" is synonymous with "a ajunge" and is more like "to arrive/to get " and a veni is "to come".

an ex: the bus arrived/got on time . - autobuzul a sosit la timp
the bus came in time - autobuzul a venit la timp

multumesc frumos Kmmy

cu placere

If you want to say, "I hope it pleases all of you", do you say "Sper că vă place"?

sper că vă place tuturor??

you can say both "sper ca va place" and "sper ca va place tuturor" ... the 2nd though will accentuate that "all of you"

It's something like don't try it at home. I may be wrong though

I also see 'le' used with tuturor sometimes.. can tuturor be used both with 'all of YOU' and 'all of 'THEM'???

Im not sure dave, but I think it makes sense as you wrote it.

Don't try this at home.

dave

is like the "thank you" issue: when you tell them " i hope you like it" is " sper că vă place tuturor" if you wanna say about them " i hope they like it" is "sper că le place tuturor".. but in my opinion both sound better without that "tuturor"

How would I say, "Could you translate this please?" in Romanian?
