Hi SmileyGal, Welcome!

If i remember well, Deva is in hunedoara? But i'm not sure how far away that is from Castelul Corvinelor.

Bun venit Smiley Gal

thank you everyone!! and mike deva is in hunedoara but i have no idea either!! i left when i was 8!! so i dont remember much!! so whats been up to?? xoxo smileygal!!

Oh, since you were 8? :-( imi lipseste romania. You live in Australia now, right? How do you like it there?

Xonia (young Romanian popstar) lives in Australia.
What made you move to Australia and how difficult was learning English for you?

well to answer ur question mike : I LOVE AUSTRALIA!!! it's hot and the wether is nice all the time(mostly). the people are great but brisbane is a big city. but first wen i left romania i went to new zealand because my dad had work there so me and my mum moved. then he got a job in australia which led us here. and stevo i guess ity was a bit hard learning the language but when you go to schol\ol and learn everything in english it gets easy. now people think im from america or that im a true aussie. lol it's quite funny because no one can sayy my last name... and im not gonna tell you guys because its embarassing:-$
well byeeeeee xxxxxx

Bună tuturor ! Sunt Cristi, locuiesc (încă ) în România. Am descoperit accidental acest website și acest forum... Și vă pot spune că sunt uimit... Mi-am petrecut ultimele două zile citind toate paginile... Sunteți uimitori... Deja unii dintre voi cunosc foarte bine gramatica limbii române. Dya, ești uimitoare! Citind posturile tale mi-am clarificat unele nelămuriri. Atât privind limba română cât și engleza. Mike, ai avansat surprinzător...
Eu sunt inginer. Dar, dacă pot ajuta, o fac cu plăcere. Felicitări tuturor !
Cristi

P.S. Am scris totul în limba română pentru că scopul acestui forum este să-i ajutăm pe cei care doresc să învețe limba noastră

Buna Cristi, bine ai venit la forum.

îţi mulţumesc pentru cuvintele frumoşi. Încă am multe greşeli dar încerc bine şi câteodată mă descurc ok.

Mă bucur ca-ţi place pe forum şi sper ca vrei să te întorci.

Întotdeaună mi-aş place foarte mult toate corectari.

Translator anyone? LOL Afterall, the topic heading is "Off-topic discussions in English".

Oh come on Smilleygal. Tell us. We are learning Romanian so we might pronounce it right.

Translation:
Hello everyone! My name is Cristi an I (still ) live in Romania. I have discovered this website and this forum by accident... And I can tell you that I am surprised... I spent my last two days reading all the pages... Some of you allready have a very good knoledge of romanian grammair. Dya, you are amazing. Reading your posts I have understood some issues. Both in romanian and english. Mike, you have made amazing progress.
I am an engineer (said that because i am not a teacher neither linguist, so it is possible to make mistakes ). But if I can help, i'll do it with peasure. Good job everyone!

Cristi

As I said, I am an engineer so maybe translation is not so acurate, but you can get the point, isn't it?

@Mike
Thank you. You have some mistakes. I can't explain you as Dya does. But I can make some corrections:
1. cuvintele frumoşi ----> cuvintele frumoase : un cuvânt - două cuvinte - so frumos must be fem. : frumoase
2. încerc bine ------> is better to use mă străduiesc; încerc bine is wrong
3. sper ca vrei să te întorci. -----> could be: sper că te vei întoarce.
4. Întotdeaună mi-aş place foarte mult toate corectari. --> If I undestand well the idea, could be: Întotdeauna mi-ar plăcea foarte mult să mă corectezi. ( the correct infinitive is: a plăcea - see DEX Ro or http://dexonline.ro/corect.php )

Cristi

Thank you for the all the corrections Cristi. They are very helpful to me.

I didn't realize cuvânt is neuter. I will remember now. Neuter nouns I must study better. I make this mistake always.


Stevo, if you want my translation also...

I thank you for the nice words. still I make many mistakes but i try well and sometimes I manage ok.

I'm glad you like the forum and hope you want to return.

Always I would like all corrections very much.

Bună, Cristi! Nice to meet you

Mulțumesc pentru traducere.

Cristi, what are you an engineer of?

I don't know is in english. In romanian is construcții hidrotehnice. In english could be Hydro engineering?

WELCOME TO THIS FORUM CRISTI!!! (: umm im not sure bout that one but u could be right cristi. your english is quite good!! you just make spelling errors. if you would like me to correct you it would be my pleasure. so how long have you been an engeenier for??

Of course smileygal, please do.
Practiced for two years. Now I have my own business. I do graphic design or DTP. But once an engineer, always engineer .

Hydrotechnical engineering? Cool!
