FUN FACT: "Romanian preserved the Latin case system and grammar while the other Romance languages developed prepositions and dropped the case system entirely. This means Romanian is the closest language to Latin in terms of grammar. It's impossible to communicate the Latin vocative case in Italian, but when a Romanian hears "et tu brute" they know exactly how Caeser meant it(or Shakespeare rather). Other people who hear Romanian think it sounds closest to Latin. To me Italian sounds quite effeminate with its "o" endings. Romanian is the only romance language that still maintains a masculine and authoritative sound like Latin does. The case declensions in Romanian are inherited directly from Latin. Example of Latin case declension: Latin: intelligimus linguA RomaniAE Romanian: Intelegem limbA RomaniEI Italian: capiamo LA lingua DELLA Romania" @UlpianHeritor

I appreciate your commentary. The exposure of South Slavs to the cultural influences of Eastern Roman empire in first milenium AD with creation of Old Slavonic from south Slavic dialects made entrance of influences from Latin grammar and case declension to modern south Slavic languages (bul. serb. cro.) denoting also former speakers of Latin like Romanians but having mostly different vocabulary. The line of influences in time is Old Slavonic to Medieval Bulgarian ( first Bul. Emp. having Latin speakers as subjects ) to Rus./Belorus/Ukr. etc ( after 800 AD). See theory "Sprachbund" (" language federation")- Wikipedia. It reflects a reality of first milenium AD in Eastern Europe of ad-hoc federations more or less consensual of sedentary populations and migratory tribes going sedentary trying to emulate East. Roman Empire. Best regards.

Mostly this is due to the fact that the country geography is made up of fields, hills and mountain in equal parts.

Moldova and Moldavia are the same thing. The eastern Moldova, after being taken by Russians was renamed as Basarabia. The real Basarabia was the southern part of the East Moldova (mostly now in Ukraine). Also, the portion that you named Transilvania is composed by more regions than Transilvania itself, like Maramures, and Banat.

I am Romanian. I love Romania ❤! Thank you for your efforts to describe in a few minutes documentary ROMÂNIA, my country, which I am proud of. Yes, although many migratory tribes (slavs, huns, gepids, goths, cumans, sarmatians, tatars, mongols, otomans) ransacked our country and after that Empires tried to force us become one of theirs, we stood still and fought back and protected our dacian legacy (you would be surprised by what a longevity had the dacians, as an united people, they were the ones that amazed the roman emperors and teached them a lesson not to forget at Tapae (2 times) and in a Daco-Roman first war (the roman occupation was between 116 - 271 - Dacia (Felix) Romana it was called but that is not to be considered a conquest but rather a way of living in peace and sharing the roman and dacian cultures for about 150 years! After Roman retreat, DACII have been ravaged by the barbarian tribes in swift raids. In the 1200-1300s they established boundaries of Transilvania, Munteania (Wallachia) and Moldova. But there were so many longings for these three principals (PRINCIPATE) that this land's conquest was one of the most important missions the Europe rulers had. If you owned these states you could easily be acknowledged as the king ruler. As such, Mihai Viteazul (Michael the Brave) had united these three rich little "countries" under one command in 1600, but then he lost the territorries because the greek secret mission of Eteria killed him and this led to an unexpectedly outcome. Then the fanariots came in 1700's and the land was in turmoil and rulership instability due to the otoman conquests and expanding politics of other empires. And after that, the 1848 Revolution came across Europe, these small regions taking part to it, too. The reason they fought for was the freeing of peasant slaves (called "iobagi"), and independent ownership of the land. Alexandru Ioan Cuza reunites 2 of 3 territories back again (Wallachia and Moldova) in 1859 and then, for the first time in history, Romania will have a Constitution , in 1866, under the reign of Charles the 1st of Romania. The modern ROMANIAN STATE was established in 1918, 1st of December, after the First World War, when Transilvania (subdued until then to the Austro-Hungarian Empire) was declared an independent region (and so called Basarabia, the Moldova beyond Prut river). It was the time that the three main regions united and ROMANIA WAS RECOGNIZED AS ONE INDEPENDENT STATE🟦🟨🟥 ruled by a monarch and his Parliament, then, in 1965 by a communist Dictator (Nicolae Ceausescu), and after the 1989 Revolution, by democratic presidents. So, we, as Romanians had to fight a lot for safekeeping our country borders and to preserve our ethnic legacy, despite the empires, tribes and rulers that we had to fight against. We are located in a most strategic point across Europe and this was the main reason some of the countries battled for gaining access to our land resources and serving our geo-political status as a shelter against other peoples.

Nice video and pretty thorough, seen some things I wasn't expecting, congrats! I would have just a small thing to criticize. I can imagine it would be a huge pain in the rear to get it properly for every country but great journalists try and pronounce the names as close as possible to how they are spoken. I'm always blown away when sports commentators correctly pronounce the names of the players.
The name of the Apuseni mountains actually means 'Sunset-ies' or something like that. 'Apus' in Romanian means sunset, 'Apuseni' are 'those that are at the sunset'. Sunset is at west *AND 'apus' is synonym with west* indeed, but the word means *in its genesis* the sun action not the geographical direction. Thanks for the presentation! Thanks to BND, Wallachia, Cristi Vidrascu for insisting on the fact that 'apus' and 'vest' are otherwise synonyms for those who didn't already knew that and thanks Ana Munteanu for pointing where my translation failed to do proper justice.

False! In the traditional Romanian speech (where the name of the mountains derives from), Apus means "West". The modern Romanian words "Vest" and "occident" are neologisms, so "Munții Apuseni" always meant "Western Mountains", IT INDICATES GEOGRAPHICAL DIRECTION! Even today we have things such as the "Autostrada răsăritului" (Sunrise Highway/Eastern Highway).

The word Da comes from the Latin Ita transformed to Ta -> Da, it doesn't come from the Slavic but we do have words from them. Fun fact, the name of the currency comes from the Dutch thaler that had a lion on it and Romania is not the only country to call its currency lion, Republic of Moldova (LEU) and Bulgaria (LEV) also call their currency Lion.

Nice video, that was a nice overview! You may want to double check some of your facts (dracul doesn't translate as dragon) and have a closer look at pronunciations (some of them are way off even by usual standards of foreigners trying to pronounce them) for future videos on different countries. You're doing a good job, keep up the good work!

I am romanian. In fact, i was born and raised in Iași (the only romanian word you pronounced it almost correctly). Vlad Dracul was the father of Vlad the Impaler, that is true, but "Dracul" doesn't translate into "dragon" but into "devil", literally. Also, "Dracula" in romanian is a term closer to "devil" than a name, maybe closer to "The devil" or "the one devil" than just "devil".

Nope! this is wrong: "Datorită apartenenței sale la Ordinul Dragonului, tatăl lui Vlad Țepeș era supranumit Dracul, după numele latin al Ordinului Dragonului (Draco)." EN: "Due to his membership in the Order of the Dragon, Vlad Țepeș's father was nicknamed Draco, after the Latin name of the Order of the Dragon (Draco)."
so I'm going to address this because I see a few romanians attempting to correct the thing about Vlad. Dracul, back in those times, did mean dragon. Vlad's dad ( also Vlad ) was given the title Dracul from the order of the dragon ( from Ladislav of Hungary, although I'm definitely spelling that wrong ), making Vlad the Impaler "son of the dragon". In time, the meaning of dracul became "devil", but that's a more modern interpretation of the word. also, we don't really have the word "moldavian". we call the region of romania that in English is Moldovia as Moldova , and the country of Moldova simply as rep of Moldova ( or Bessarabia ). I won't go in the historical context of why the Republic of Moldova is a separate country, but mainly is has to do with Stalin being a prick.

nice job,maybe some mistakes but ok!like it!
I've been to Romania twice. My biggest travel regret EVER, is that I didn't drive further into the country from Timisoara, to visit the Dracula castle in Bran. It's over 400 km each way which is why I decided against it, but damn I regret not doing it. I've also been to Constanta, I took a day trip up there when on vacation in Golden Sands, Bulgaria. Beautiful old square on the top of the hill (by the cathedral), but the rest of it wasn't much to talk about. Quite a lot of old buildings that are simply falling apart with no one doing anything about it.
One of the best informational videos about my country out there.
Pretty good image choices btw 💅
Great video bro 🥰👍. Only mistake would be that only in Romania is true Moldova and not " Moldavia " . Rep of Moldova is romanian state and can share the name Moldova, but the main heart of historical Moldova is in Romania and we cant call it " Moldavia " .But except this your video was exception 👍👍👍👍🤝🤝

Moldavia and Moldova are the same thing ! In fact, the part in Romania is Western Moldova or Moldova of the West, and the part in Republic of Moldova is Eastern Moldova or Moldova of the East. The idea of a different nation in Republic of Moldova is just a KGB project and they "change" the history.

The graphics are great but unfortunately there are too many inaccuracies (without even mentioning the pronunciation). The Moldavia vs Moldova distinction is incorrect, the Austro Hungarian and Russian Empires didn't exist in the Middle Ages, nor did they rule parts of Romania (Russia's first foray into the territory was in 1812), etc. Many images are not from Romania, etc.
As a person who lives there, I am very happy to see someone say "Romania is an underlooked / underestimated country".
Ty dear Sir !
You forgot to mention two things. 1. Romanians can learn other romance languages much faster,than lets say, an italian learning romanian. 2. The romanization process done by the romans was so , lets say , brutal, that romanian is the 3rd language closest to ancient latin, the first two being sicilian and italian. So yeah, a country surrounded by slavs and hunic people groups is closer to latin than spanish,catalan and portuguese.

Well the true is other. The romanization never have be done,it whas imposible,because romans conquer 25 procent of land ocupated by dacians(getae) and only for 165 years. Why romanian it is so close whit latin??? Because they are sisters. The dacians language whas a traco iliro language so it is now romanian language. Mihai Vinereanu it is lingvist and in his works(books) demonstrated and show that. Look what they say on Vatican abaut romanian language and his origins. kzread.info/dash/bejne/n4lmkpWulrW2oNo.html
