Expressing likes and dislikes, but also expressing wishes in a foreign language, accurately and fluently, may help you carry on with a conversation in Romanian.



The “what would you do if…” game is frequently used in a foreign language speaking class, so today we’ll be exploring the pattern, encouraging you to feel free and speak in Romanian.


As usual, we begin with a series of useful words and phrases.


Servici=work


Teatru =theatre


Cinci mii= five thousand


Devreme=early


Mai devreme=earlier


Cumpara=buy


Masina=car


Vacanta de vara=summer vacation


Zi libera=a day off


A sta= to stay


A sta acasa=to stay at home


Now let use some of the words and expressions in wh-open questions:


Ce ai face daca ai iesi mai devreme de la servici astazi?


What would you do if you finished work earlier today?


As merge la teatru.


I would go to the theatre.


Ce ai face daca ai avea cinci mii euro?


What would you do if you had five thousand Euro?


Mi-as cumpara o masina.


I would buy a car.


Ce ai face daca vacanta ta de vara ar fi mai lunga?


What would you do if your summer vacation were longer?


As merge in Grecia.


I would go to Greece.


Ce ai face daca seful ti-ar acorda o zi libera lunea urmatoare?


What would you do if your boss gave you a day off next Monday?


As vrea sa stau acasa.


I would like to stay at home.


So if your likes include learning Romanian, feel free to express your wishes in that language. Best of luck!
