Friday, 24 July A plaque on both their houses There are many features of English which make it tricky to master, but its grammar is certainly not complicated: Since none of these complications is applicable to English, it must be a simple language, Q. I could continue, but I am already getting boring. Wodehouse, da impresie clara ca Anglia a fost chiar centrul imperiului roman, cu Londinium la epicentru, scotind non-stop fraze pompoase si pretentioase de genul: She said some really horrible things about me to D. Sunday, 5 July New examples of real Romanglish.

De ce Esperanto si Europanto niciodata n-au deve Firstly, the words themselves are compounds of existing words.

In English, this is an organic process. Romanglish is a light-hearted look at 'Romanian-English'.
English is one of the least complex languages in the northern hemisphere. Acelasi principiu a fost exploatat de L. A lesson to us all never to rely on bilingual dictionaries!
ROMANGLISH [LP] | The Bridge Committee
Mai ales romangliwh care intentioneaza sa vorbeasca cu lumea lui Beckham et al. His objection to 'whelk' was that this word — according to his dictionary — means 'a fresh wound or reddening of the skin, e.
This argument is so simple to beat that it is like shooting fish in a barrel. Everybody knows romanglih in Britain everyone eats rubbish; fried food, burgers, deep-fried Mars bars and fish and chips for breakfast, lunch and dinner, while Romania shares the fascination of the rest of Eastern Europe for boiled potatoes and bits of gristly pig in breadcrumbs, deep-fried in engine oil, served cold and romxnglish onto a paper napkin hours later; if you are lucky, you may get dumplings, but only if the queues weren't too long at the market.
It also reflects my own experiences as a translator wrestling to constrain wild latinate Romanian syntax and floral wordiness not to mention culture-specific concepts and confine them within the parameters of English In acest an, echipa de la Oxford English Dictionary a anuntat ca limba engleza a depasit 1, de cuvinte. Ioana has submitted the following via email: The Romanian equivalent is 'bine', 'destul de bine' or eh We both love animals more than people: Trebuie luat in consideratie si educatia vorbitorului sau lipsa acesteia ; la politicieni le place sa flirteze cu fraze si structuri mai inflorite si cuvinte mai lungi, provenind din franceza sau latina, sa-si demonstreze intelepciunea un alt avantaj consta in faptul ca publicul nespalat ii percepe ca oameni destepti fara sa inteleaga nimic din ce spun!
Interestingly, while Britain has the most relaxed drink driving laws in Europe the government likes its citizens to have worthwhile hobbiesRomania has one of the strictest the government doesn't like its citizens moonlighting unless it can see some financial benefits. But these apparent similarities belie a huge difference; the biggest of all and it has taken me years to notice it: Being foreign or even British, heh heh in Romania can be like being Bob Hoskins in the film Roger Rabbit, where all the other characters are indestructible cartoons.
Especially in Scotland and the North.
Romanglish
Prima varianta a fost o tentative serioasa de a creea o limba universala europeana, care din a atras sub 2 milioane de vorbitori ; a doua nu este nimic mai mult decat o gluma foarte buna: Furthermore, the German language itself not only has a huge Latin content but also shares most of its grammatical structure with Latin more so in fact than most so-called Latin languages including Romanian!
Meanwhile, my breakfast toast still fell jam-side down, the bathroom routinely gave me electric shocks and the washing machine caught fire on at least three occasions. An expeditious departure appears to be indicated!
Should you deny that these words have a right to exist in the Romanian lexicon, then you probably don't listen to yourself or others speak as often as you should.
The differences between us are more subtle, however.
romsnglish Some years back, they announced the fusion of nici o to nicionici un to niciun and so on naturally, nobody took any noticebut I say they dropped the ball: We talk about it non-stop, on meeting, passing, or when conversation dries up; when we don't know what to say, when we are embarrassed, or by way of evasion. But you should immediately understand their etymology.
In my last flat, the plumbing system, fridge and electrical system collectively violated three out of four laws of thermodynamics while the upstairs romanglisg had broken Newton's law of universal gravitation by removing all of his internal supporting walls with two more storeys above him. We eat to live, don't live to eat and have a reputation for lousy food: We both whinge a lot: A complaint came from a client, last week, that I had used the word 'spirits' at the top of a drinks list on his restaurant menu.
First, here are some examples of how we are alike: We whine when it's too hot, we grumble when it's too cold. This is, I suppose, what comes of scribbling instructions to busy professionals on the back of cigarette packets.
