    the correct form is "aceasta", but you will mostly hear Ești prost și asta nu-mi place

    Hi emy! I was there, but I have been sick so i haven't had much mood to say much the past few days. How have you been? How are your studies?

    Romanian is going well? I study when I can and still attend lessons.

    Smile hello mike dear

    Hello Mike, I am not doing much...I do not want to complain, so let's say I am ok and that I am working on my first book, ex-doctoral thesis.I started classes and... what else?nothing else.
    I am glad u did not quit Romanian lessons.Anything u need, tell me, write me and I'll make time to explain whatever it is necessary.kisses and hugs

    FOR GUSTAVO

    Your sentence was not incorrect at all, yes the equivalent of ''it'' is aceasta and not acesta. ''asta'' is very used in talking but it is not a literary form and it is advisable u do not use that in any kind of formal document or speech.

    I think I know why u don't use ''acesta'' .It is because Romanians do not have this ''it'' somehow cold and idependent as e fix, well established grammatical structure, impersonal. If u want to express in an impersonal manner, we only have a compound predicate formed with copulative verb ''to be'' plus an adverb, without that english ''it'':
    Ex:

    este bine, este greu, este uşor, este dificil, ar fi bine, ar fi fost greu, a fost greu, a fost dificil etc

    Anyway, in standard language u will never hear a sentece like "Nu-mi place aceasta", sounds like hell and it is unappropriate. Grammar has structures that can be very strange from literary point of view.This is one of the cases.
    U use acesta/aceasta either as subject (Aceasta este camera/prietena/cartea mea) or as pronominal adjective Această casă/cameră/ carte este frumoasă.

    So, generally u use this following ellegant way to express likes and dislikes, not only with the pronoun or pronominal adjective.
    Don't say
    "Nu-mi place aceasta, acesta, aceea, acela and so on, but rather be specific, so use nouns, like:

    Îmi place cartea/Nu-mi place mâncarea.

    Îmi place cămaşa aceea.

    Îmi place băiatul acela.

    Nu suport această atitudine/ acest comportament/ acea replică.

    In spoken language, yes right, u use what we call popular forms (used by normal, not necesarilly educated people) "asta", " aia".

    Asta nu-mi place.

    Aia nu suport.

    Asta mă irita.

    Asta nu-mi convine.

    Now, I think we use the feminine and not the masculine form because when u use such senteces generally u say ''chestia'' asta, it is a feminine noun. ''chestia'' is what we use in romanian instead of ''it'':

    "chestia" replaces anything, things, actions, attitudes, behaviour, anything but human beings or other beings )

    someone says someth wrong u say: Chestia asta nu-mi place.
    Someone brings u a present u say : Chestia asta îmi place, even if it a jewl, a book, cloth etc e
    someone looks at u roughly u say: Chestia asta nu-mi place.
    someone rises the finger threatening, u say: Chestia asta nu-mi place.

    So "asta" is the atribute of the noun "chestia", even when u don't utter it. That is why in any sentence for any kind of circumstance u say "asta" and not "ăsta".

    can u understand???

    This is the correct way to say it.(Yes,I understand everything)

    Da, am înțeles totul (Yes,i understand the everything)
    Still this isn't wrong to say in romanian language.

    Thank you 1000 times!

    Hmm, poate știe cineva... Cunoașteți forumuri române, unde se discută despre muzica clasică? Prin Google am căutat, dar nu am găsit nimic interesant.

    Mersi, Anna! Din nefericire sau am deja cunoscut pe o parte linkurilor, sau nu au fost forumuri, sau... nimeni nu mai contribuie acolo și cele mai proaspăte posturile sunt deja foarte vechi... Dar mulțumesc frumos pentru ajutorul tău!

    Marian: (înțeleg că asta e numele tău, pentru că Anna-l folosea )

    Mersi pentru muzica! Acum nu pot să o ascult, pentru că am internet cu... limită (? ). Dar voi fi în Varșovia deja săptămâna viitoare și sigur o să o ascult. Și-ți voi spune, ce gândesc.
