Going shopping every day provides a good opportunity to practise basic Romanian, especially if you want to develop conversational exchange skills, if you need to buy food and drink. So today it's a bunch of food and drink words you'll be exposed to, in the hopes that you'll be quick to acquire functional Romanian.
As usual, we begin with a series of useful words and expressions:
Brinza=cheese
Cafea=coffee
Carne=meat
Cirnat=sausage
Legume=vegetables
Ou=egg
Piine=bread Proaspat=freshSalata=salad
Sandvis=sandwich
Sare=salt
Suc=juice
Unt=butter
Vin=wine
Now let us use some of the words and expressions in meaningful sentences:
