Marţişor

Buna Ziua! I'm trying to learn Romanian, and the lyric translations help very much! However, I have a question about a the Romanian tradition Marţişor and didn't know where else I could get an answer I know that it's the first of March and little trinkets on white and red string are given. I would like very much to know more, mainly on whether it is appropriate for a woman to give one to a man etc. I'd also like to know anything else about it that you can tell me I'm sorry not to be able to post this in Romanian, but I will keep learning! ^.^ Eu încerc! Mulţumesc pentru ajutor tau!

To answer one of your questions, no, it is not appropriate for a woman to give one to a man. It's the other way around. Only women receive "martisoare" from men. Lately men also give little gifts and flowers along with the trinkets.

And another thing: the white and red string must be worn as a bracelet and be tied on a branch of the first blossomed tree you see. I don't know if that's actually the tradition, but that's how we used to do when we ere ...younger

Mulţumesc foarte mult pentru informaţii! Acel este o tradiţie dulce Also, on March 1st, do people give greetings such "Marţişor Fericit"? Sorry if these seem like silly questions, but I cannot learn them without asking I plan to go to Romania as soon as I can afford to, and I'd rather seem silly in text than in person Also, feel free to correct any sentences that I say in Romanian...I am teaching myself and am always Very appreciative of any help that I can get

hmm about the greeting,till today i never heard about the "martisor fericit"....i don't think that you say it when u give it to someone but i don't know 100%

Yes, I agree with zahra, haven't heard that expression either, but i heard the next one :
"Un 1 Martie fericit" - A happy 1st of March

You can use this if you wish !

Ok cool! I will! thank you so much I can't tell you how much I appreciate your input! You're the best!

You are welcome ! Any time

Adica n-am procedat nici n-am vazut pe nimeni din jurul meu facand asta
Eu mereu o puneam deodata cu martzisorul pe piept tare mandra mai eram

Bine, il puneam si in piept, dar cand am mai crescut, nu mai mergea cu el in piept si ne puneam doar snurul la mana. Si cand vedeam primul copoac inflorit, il rupeam si-l legam de o crenguta. Bine, ideal era sa-l rupa un baiat....) Prostii...
