    as a romanian, i can say this was pretty accurate! loved it. shaorma isn’t necessary romanian, but we’ve had it as a street food for as long as i can remember, so i guess that sort of makes it part of our culture. loved this guy’s romanian as well, did well at those ț, ă, ș 😆

She could guess what you were about to say:)) Thanks for the kind words. You're always welcome back in romania

    Hey, awesome insights, you really got us! And your pronounciation is so good! Greetings from Bucharest 😊 I think any foreigner who comes to Romania should also try zacuscă, it's like jam but salty, with veggies, and you spread it on bread, yum! Also regarding those salutations/response phrases, here's another one that's pretty big. When someone buys something new, like a jacket, you say "să o porți sănătos" (may you wear it in good health). Or "să o stăpânești sănătos" (may you own it in good health) for things you don't wear. My family always makes ridiculous puns about this, like: I got a new vacuum cleaner - May you vacuum your house in good health! I got a drill machine - May you drill holes in good health! And so on 😂
