I'm from Costa Rica, native Spanish speaker here, I've been learning Romanian for a while now and I must say that even though many basic words are extremely similar, on the whole the two languages are not mutually intelligible. Romanian uses thousands of words from Turkish, Greek and Slavic languages that have no cognates in ours. On top of that, even many Romanian Latin based words are totally different (e.g. Silla/scăun, iglesia/biserică... No way we could understand them without previous training. In spite of this, it's a fascinating language and culture I've been in love with since my mid teens. Keep it up!

You have your "scaun" too, it's "escanho." A slightly different meaning, indeed. The same goes for "biserică" => "basílica".

cspresimir "escanho" does not exist in Spanish. It's "escaño" and it has a very different meaning, limited mostly to political seats in a national assembly. Unless you have studied linguistics, there is no way you can guess both words are related. Same goes for "biserică". No untrained Spanish speaker would notice the relation between both words unless they've been trained in comparative linguistics.

1. Of course escanho doesn't exist per se, but iI am struggling with my own Rojmanian special characters - no way in hell I'll do it also for Spanish (or any other language, of course), unless I can copy/paste from somewhere else. But you understood it, right? :) 2. "escaño"' refers also to "Banco con respaldo en el que pueden sentarse tres o más personas." (much like the rows of seats found in a church), or so The Royal Spanish Academy says. It's definitely something you can sit on. 3. Yes, I can tell you from my direct experience that a regular hispanohablante has trouble to found the common denominator, even for much simpler words like the days of the week, some common food (leche/lapte, pan/pîine,azucar/zahăr, huevo/ou, arroz/orez). However, this doesn't make said words - along with escaño and basilica - less related.

There are a lot of similarities in the basic Latin vocabulary but this video was meant to show case them. Overall, the more you learn, the more you'll see different and divergent influences as well, and they aren't truly mutually intelligible. That said, I have both Romanian and Italian background and have known several Romance languages from youth, so can appreciate the extent of similarities. Romanians are somehow more likely to understand western Romance languages than vice versa. It's a strange phenomenon.

I was born in Mexico, but my dad came from Romania, so as a mixed guy now I'm really learning romanian for the first time. It's such a cool language, and also it helps me better understand family conversations or things they just don't want me and my cousins to hear LOL.

the (in modern spanish unpronounced) H in "hacer" and "hambre" actually have the same roots as Romanian "face" and "foame". it's just that initial F- in Latin became H- in Old Spanish and eventually it ceased to be pronounced altogether, even though the letter H- is retained in the orthography. Interestingly some Romanian dialects had a similar development: the word for "son" in Standard Romanian is FIU, in Istroromanian it's FILLU, in Aromanian HILL, and in Meglenoromanian ILLU. Notice how the F- becomes H- in Aromanian and disappears altogether in Meglenoromanian.

And still, here it stands, 1800 years after the Roman's abandoned that province of Dacia that was to become Romania. Amazing.

In Romanian, Italian and Classical Latin, the "c" is pronounced "ch", that's why the Romanian guy says "difichil" instead of "difisil" and "chinchi" instead of "sinsi".

In terms of the verb "to do", Spanish and Romanian actually do use the same word, it's just hard to tell. Spanish "hacer", romanian "face", Italian "fare", French, "fair", etc. all come from latin "facere" (pronounced "fakere"). In Spanish the initial "f" was lost, but it's still the same root word.

That is incorrect. In classical Latin the letter "c" was always pronounced with a hard /k/ sound. This pronunciation is actually retained in one modern romance language (Sardinian). The reason why the sound changed in all of the other romance languages is due to a common phonological process known as palatalization, whereby in front of the vowels i and e, /k/ turned into /kʲ/ and then from there turned into the fricative and affricate sounds used by most modern romance languages. You can actually see this in process happening right now in Modern Greek - on the mainland, /k/ has turned into palatal /kʲ/ before /i/ and /e/, while in Cyprus it has evolved even further into an affricate. This has also happened in Icelandic, and it happened to English over a thousand years ago (compare Icelandic "kirkja" with two palatal /kʲ/s to English "church" with two affricates. As for how we know this, aside from the fact that the modern romance pronunciations have to derive from /k/ in order to make any sense, there's also a ton of historical evidence to support the linguistic evidence. Here's a nice summary of it: goo.gl/S4Tbka Cicero was pronounced /kikero/, "vincere" was pronounced /winkere/, etc.

This is the perfect example how desperate germanophon countries are, trying to keep up their self-constructed indo - _GERMANISCH_ fairy tale alive. Nazi "science". The entire world calls it *INDO-EUROPEAN* and germanic itself *is just ONE subgroup of many, many others!* Selfcentred much? Srsly, y'all need to give up the "hard K" lie. As if ONE single letter would "prove" something. Now tell me *HOW* was the *[C]* in *[C]ELTAE* ("Celts") *pronounced?* And more important... what does it actually *mean?* Latin was and still is a *high-elite - language* (>>> Vatikan). *Latin borrowed from HELLENIC, SEMITIC, ETRUSCAN AND S-E-V-E-R-A-L UNKNOWN LANGUAGES.* Full of loanwords, foreign words. Like all languages. No language is "pure". So stop acting as if _"pure latin"_ is or _ever was_ a real thing. The *base* was *OLD* latin. Latin is just full of loanwords from ancient hellenic. I mean... what was the base of the latin alphabet? Yea, you know it. However, someone saw _C-A-E-S-A-R..._ ... later you found _"Kaiser"_ ("Emperor") in the german vocabulary. Which is - of course - *not* a german word, but a *germanized* (or bastardised) *form of the name "Caesar"* and today it has *the meaning "Emperor"* in *german.* I guess the [C] in "[C]aesar" was also "originally" pronounced as a "hard K"... 🤔😒 smh Nevermind. Sardinian is kinda "alien" to other italian dialects, bc it was the first to split from the _italic-romance branch._ After that followed romanian. Meaning: Sardinian > the oldest "italian", basically. Sardinian has also quite a "few" cognates to albanian. And some linguists disagree with adding romanian into the same group with italian, french & co. But somehow nonsense and impossible, since they're lexically very close related. But Romanian is also the only language in the italic-romance family that does not have the article in the front of the noun _(note the hybrid name btw, italic+romance)._ The article in romanian is found at the end of the noun, as a suffix. Same case with albanian. Also scandinavian languages (such as icelandic, swedish, danish, norwegian, etc.), 2 south slavic _(only in bulgarian and modern macedonian, all other slavic languages don't even have articles),_ and basque. If you'll find a word ending with an [-a] in romanian in (the definite form); know that it's feminie. Add the article [a] in the front ... = it's like f.e. portuguese. ▪ an example: *"POARTĂ"* ("gate") - romanian An romanian [ă] is pronounced like an albanian [ë]. Also called "Schwa", in IPA an [ə]. Different letters, but the *same* pronounciatian, *same* tone. If words (nouns) end with an [-ë] in albanian, they are 99.99 % Feminine in their definite form and ending with an [-A]. That's not just "coincidence". ▪ derË- der[A] - _f._ _door - [the] door_ ▪ verË - ver[A] - _f._ _summer - [the] summer_ But back to *"poartă"* ... the definite form is *POART[A]* ("the gate"). It's _feminie._ It looks and sounds very similiar to *italian PORT[A]* ("door") and *spanish PUERT[A]* ("door"). Because *IT IS* literally the *SAME.* POART[Ă] (rom., "gate") POART[A] (rom., "the gate") | [A] PORT[A] (portuguese / | | galician / corsican) | | L[A] PORT[E] (french) | | L[A] PORT[A] (italian, catalan) | | L[A] PUERT[A] (spanish) _pOrte, pOArtĂ, pOArtA or pUErtA..._ it doens't matter. Bc vowel shifts ain't _THAT_ serious. [P]oa[RT]ă (rom, indefinite) [P]oa[RT]a (rom., definite) [P]o [RT]a (port, gal, cors, ital, catl) [P]o [RT]e (french) [P]ue[RT]a (spanish) | | *[P] [RT]* ▪ However, *Latin "PORTA"* had the *meaning "door" and "gate".* ▪ The etymolgy: 》 from Proto-Indo-European root **per-* _("to pass through")._ Confer with *portus,* Ancient Hellenic *πόρος | póros* _"means of passage")_ 《 As you can see *constructed* IEP - roots are need for the etymolgy. Still doesn't change the fact that the root *PER* is found everywhere and in *all* INDO-EUROPEAN languages. It's just the *meaning* that changes or _changed._ I am sick and tired of ppl that think "latin" is "old". So? So are _Greek, Albanian, Armenian._ They predate Latin and not whitout a reason called "languages of antiquity" by *linguists.* They have their reasons why they gave them own, separate branches. Latin is *inside* the indo-european group. A lot has changed since #Hettite has been deciphred and #Tocharian discovered. It's about time for an update and about time for chauvinists to stop messing around with languages and claming "roots" as "theirs" for political reasons. PS: Where did you add the article in latin?

My god!!! Avion is from french and is used in most of modern languages for pragmatic reasons !!!! And many other words were kept from latin in other far-away languages, for exemple: Idiot: is used in many languages with some changes including in russian.

I liked this video because my husband is from Romania. Ce faci. Good video 😊

My my old job had me like this office work was always Spanish, Italian, Romanian, and Portuguese. I only speak Spanish , English and some French but I was never lost I knew I'd say 80% of what i was being told. I can understand but not speak back lol. convenient for my bosses I suppose lol.

You can say "I'm going home" in Romanian in three different but correct ways: Mă duc/plec/merg acasă. "Black" is pronounced "negru" in both Romanian and portuguese. In Romanian we have two unique words to say up and down : sus (up) and jos (down) and I discovered that a few centuries ago in Spanish were used two similar words (suso) and (yuso) with the same meaning.

chris bean Latin: Fur videt novam domum. Mater sedet tres noctes Romania: Furatorul vede noua casa, Mama sade trei nopti. Spanish: El remero ve la nueva casa, la madre se establece tres noches. Italian : Il vogatore vede la nuova casa, la madre fissa tre notti. Portugal: O remador vê a nova casa, a mãe faz três noites and then you will se this and you will get your brain rocked! Latin: Fur videt novam domum. Mater sedet tres noctes Russian: Vor vidit novy dom. Mat' sidit tri nochi. The old-Indo-european roots are still here after 8000 years of isolation, Just imagine that back then almost all the Indo-europeans spoke the same exact langauge!!!.

Is a good example to show to all Anti-European trolls how we Europeans have no problem to comunicate with each other and we can do it even in other languages than english . Ignorant people like them really hate us when we speack 4, 5, 6 different languages :))

3:27 - 'hacer' does not come from Arabic, it comes from Latin 'facere'. The Latin in Iberia that was to evolve into Spanish switched initial f- to h- at some point

I hope that when it's referred to romance languages in books they mention all of them, including Romanian. There are lots of them, not only Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese. There's sardinian, Catalan, occitan, although spoken by a small amount of people each of them.

In Serbien we also say „Avion“ for airplane

Very good ....

Most of the Romance languages have an F in the verb "To do". However, in Spanish to do is "Hacer" starts with H because the F was removed in the 9th century French is "Faire" Portuguese is "Fazer" Italian "Fare" Romanian "Face" All derived from the latin word "Facere"

Isn’t he Edward maya the guy that sings stereo love

"facer" is the medieval Spanish word for "hacer", same "fame" is another old word for "hambre" - still used in Galician and Asturian -. Modern Spanish lost a lot of initial "f"s than became "h"s. These "f"s were inherited from the vulgar Latin. It seems Romanian still keeps a lot of them :)

Wall (pared) and truck (camion) are also the same in both languages. I discovered this by mistake talking to a co-worker.

The f->h shift they mention for the hacer-face cognates isnt due to Arabic. Since other Ibero-Romance languages didnt have that shift, just Castilian. It was more than likely due to the Basque influence on Spanish.

PRO GAMING I believe it is hard to believe that Trajan understood the language of Decebalus. The Romans had long known the Dacians, Burebista offered his help to Pompey against Caesar and yet no Roman historian ever mentioned a liguistic similarity between the Latin and the Dacian.

67claudius Ignore what JSAME is saying. He is dacopath, like many Romanians are, unfortunately. Dacopath theory doesn't believe in the fully Romanization of Dacia and proclaiming that the latin language derivs from the Dacian language (wtf) and the Dacians were the oldest nation in the Europe. These are not facts. This is a stupid theory invented in the communist era, to brainwash Romanians to no longer believe in God and to praise and believe in Zalmoxis (Dacian people's God). Unfortunately, there are Romanian ppl who believs this propaganda, even if in our schools we Romanians are taught the REAL history: we were conquered almost fully by the Romans and our language is based on the Latin. Peace!

Latin brotherhood

Tip for Spanish speakers learning Romanian, our grammar will confuse or even upset you at times (Lol!): "Donde esta tu casa" in Romanian is "Unde este casa ta?"

The Romanian word for "hunger" sounds like famélico (famélica in feminine) which translates to starving. It isn't that used anymore, though. It's in fact considered a fancy word.

3:21 no! lots of words from latin had a F at begining and lost it in spanish, they became H, hacer was Facer from facere (latin) and the romamian verb for to do comes too from that word! (hablar comes from Fablar, in french "une fable" is a story and I guess to speak is Fablar in portuguese, hiero comes from Fiero (or something like that) and corresponds to "fer" in french which comes from latin. Hijo in spanish (son) comes from filius (latin) and corresponds to fils in french) yes many words in spanish come from arabic, and loys of them begin with H or AL but Hacer definitly comes from latin and has the same root as the romanian word

There are many similar words between spanish and romanian, also spanish and portuguese, romanian and italian. Since, all of them are latin languages there is not so hard for someone to learn the one of these languages. I'm romanian and I learned spanish from TV, also I can understand italian and portuguese. The only difference which I can't understand is why french is considerate as latin language.... I studied for 5 years but I could not see so much similarities between other latin languages.
