Language points

More adverbs

We met in the dialogue examples of şi 'also', 'too', mai 'stil!', 'in

addition' and tot 'also', 'stil!'. Their position in a sentence is of ten

different to their equivalents in English and therefore it is import

ant to study these examples:

Şi eu aş lua tot o cafea

I too would also like a coffee

Avem şi îngheţată

i prăjituri

We have both ice cream and cakes

Şi pentru mine tot o îngheţată

And an ice cream for me too

Altceva mai doriţi?

Do you want anything else?

Note these other examples:

Irina mai doarme

Irina is stiH asleep

Şi Irina şi Victor sunt la restaurant

Both Irina and Victor are at the restaurant

Mai vrei o cafea?

Do you want another cup of coffee?

George este tot la gară

George is still at the station

Ana tot vorbeşte

Ana talks continuously/is still talking

Nicu stă la Bucureşti (Şi Andrei stă acolo)

Nicu lives in Bucharest (Andrew lives there too)

Saying '1 would', etc.

In the dialogue Irina says:

Aş lua o cafea

I would like (lit. take) a coffee

Aş

vrea şi ceva dulce

1 would like something sweet as well

s form of the verb is known as the conditional. It is made up

 Romanian of auxiliary forms plus the innitive without a:

 vrea

1 would like

am vrea

we would like

 vrea

you would like

aţi vrea

you would like

ar vrea

he/she/it would

ar vrea

they would like

aş merge

1 would go

am merge

we would go

 merge

you would go

aţi merge

you would go

 merge

he/she/it would go

ar merge

they would go

e conditional is most commonly used in Romanian in sentences

at contain a clause introduced by the conjunction dacă 'if' (note

at, in such sentences in English the past tense is generally used

 the clause introduced by 'if'):

Dacă am avea bani am merge la mare

If we had enough money we would go to the seaside

Ei ar vizita oraşul dacă ar avea timp

They would visit the town if they had time

Bună ziua. Spuneţi, ce doriţi?

ADAM:

Aş prefera la Mamaia, dacă e posibil. Dar aş sta la

mare numai 4 zile, indcă aş vrea să ajung şi la

munte, şi dacă am timp, şi în delta Dunării.

Dacă vreţi, puteţi lua un bilet circuit.

Cum adică?

Un bilet în circuit înseamnă că e valabil pe tot timpul

călătoriei dumneavoastră şi puteţi să întrerupeţi

călătoria unde doriţi. Deci aţi putea merge mai întâi

la mare, de acolo în deltă şi apoi aţi putea merge

undeva la munte.

Da, sună bine. Şi cam cât costă în total?

Depinde de unde plecaţi şi de cât timp staţi.

Bine, deci cât ar costa dacă aş sta 4 zile la Mamaia,

apoi 3 zile în deltă şi o săptămână la munte?

La Mamaia aţi putea să staţi sau la hotelul

Internaţional, sau la Perla. O cameră cu un singur pat

şi cu baie costă 60 de dolari pe noapte. Cazarea în

deltă este de obicei la familii locale.

n schimb la

munte, la Sinaia, puteţi să staţi la un hotel bun. Toate

camerele au încălzire centrală, baie sau duş. Hotelul

are şi bar, şi restaurant şi discotecă, chiar şi sală de

gimnastică.

Ştiţi cumva dacă este aproape de telecabină sau de

telescaun? Aş vrea să văd peisajul.

Nu ştiu exact, dar pot să a u până mâine.

Mulţumesc, atunci revin mâine.

country.

Do you know whereabouts you'd like to go?

No, I don't know exactly. What do you think?

If you want to go the seaside, we have rooms in

three good hotels in Neptun.

I'd prefer to go to Mamaia, if possible. But I

only want to stay fo ur days at the seaside,

because I' d like to go the mountains as wel/,

and the Danube Delta if I ha ve time.

If you want, you can get a round ticket.

Bow does that work?

SALES ASSISTANT: A round ticket is valid fo r the whole of your

journey. You can make stops along the way as

you wish, so you could go rst to the seaside,

then to the Delta and then on to somewhere in

the mountains.

AM:

Yes, that sounds good. How much does it cost?

SALES ASSISTANT: Depends when you leave and how long the trip

lasts.

AM:

O K, how much would it be if I stay fo ur days

in Mamaia, three days in the Delta and a week

in the mountains?

SALES ASSISTANT: In Mamaia you could stay at the Hotel

Inteational or at the Hotel Perla. A single

room with a bath costs $60 per night. In the

Delta you would usually stay with local fa milies.

In the mountains, on the other hand, in Sinaia,

you can stay at a good hotel. AII the rooms

have central heating and a bath or shower. The

hotel also has a bar, a restaurant, a disco and

even a gym.

AM:

Do you know whether it's close to the cable car

or chair li? I would like to see the

surroundings.

ALES ASSISTANT: I don't know fo r certain, but I can nd out by

tomorrow.

AM:

OK, /'11 come back tomorrow then.
