Making friends with a Romanian mature person might entail sharing some intimacy with that person. If you happen to be the parent of a child in her or his early teens, you cannot help complaining a little bit about them, in a conversation with your fellow Romanian. In this lesson, youll be exposed to the language of informal complaints in Romanian.<\/p>\n

As usual, we start with several useful words and phrases:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Prieten, prietena=<\/strong>friend<\/p>\n
Adolescent, adolescenta=<\/strong>teenager<\/p>\n

Now let us use some of the words in meaningful communicative patterns:<\/p>\n
