Thank you for your visit and review! ❤ Just a small thing : i heard that 99% of the foreign people visiting Romania pronounce “mici” like “Mitchie”. That pronounciation means “The mici”. If you want to say it without definite article “the”, you should pronounce it like the name “Mitch”. I eat two Mitch (mici). I eat The Mitchie (micii - with two i in romanian). I eat one Mick. These would be the correct forms. Sorry. I just noticed everybody misspronounce it and that’s why i thought i should clarify it :) Thanks again!
Thanks for the correction. Once I retire we plan on staying in places for longer periods of time (a month or more each location) giving us more time to learn so we will make every effort to do better next time around!
@@Kenshirokan no problems! It is not a “mistake”, it was just an observation. If i were to go to Germany tomorrow, i would probably pronounce ok as far as I know, but a german would very probably tell me that my pronunciation is giving the words different nuances and meanings. So no worries! :)
Romanian can look confusing sometimes with the double-i's. :) However, there are cases when we have three i's in a row, without it being a typo. Let's take the word for 'a child'; _un copil._ The plural affix in this case is another i, so ... copili. But! .... This is also one of those cases where word-final L disappears, leaving us with _copii._ Through some bizarre cosmic sense of humour, the male definite plural article in this case is also i ... so we end up with _copiii;_ 'the children'. :D In similar vein, the female name _Andrea_ is spelt _Andreea_ in Romanian. Again, not a typo, but the vowel cluster _ea_ is itself a diphtong, pronounced roughly like /ya/. That's why we need that extra "e" in there, so as to make sure we still have the "e" sound. Without it, Andrea would be /an'drya'/. :)
Appreciate the compliments. We're honestly getting tired of constantly repeating ourselves and our apologies for mispronouncing certain Romanian words. Thanks for watching and thanks for being on our side!
Bună, va mulțumesc ca ne arătați ce e bun si frumos in tara noastră, dar am o mare rugăminte la voi cei care fa eti asta ,nu mai ziceți polenta,aia e la italieni ,a noastră se numește MĂMĂLIGĂ!!!!!Vă rog ca pe viitor sa spuneți așa!
Yes, just as wild as people from all over the world visiting other parts of the world mispronouncing phrases on a daily basis! Lol....thanks for watching!
Sorry to nitpick, but the name of the restaurant (Caru' cu bere) is pronounced, using English phonetics, /KA-roo koo BEH-reh/. Just like in Italian, the letter "c" is only pronounced like English "ch" if it comes before an "i" or an "e" -- e.g. Ceausescu /chow-SHES-koo/. In all other positions it's pronounced like English "k". :) If, however, there's no escaping the i or e, but we still need a /k/ sound, we add an "h" after the "c", e.g. _Chiriac_ /KEER-yak/ (Romanian surname). :)
@@angelicacroitoru4946 Still no reason not to pick up a language pointer or two. If nothing else, they'll leave the country speaking better Romanian than Viorica Dancila. 😄😂
Yes, very expensive by local standards and we certainly acknowledge that but to be fair, we are not local and are coming from a country where a meal in an equivalent restaurant would cost twice as much. It's nice to splurge every now and then is it not? If the food, service, and place were all awful we would be honest and would certainly let everyone know but that was not the case. Not justifying the cost by any means simply trying to put things in perspective. Appreciate the insight and big thanks for watching our video!
For a restaurant that you need to book in advance, it has many 10-20$ meal options. It is expensive, for like street food standards, but the fact that it's fully booked - means that it's not that expensive.
The price for taxi is 50-60 lei.however, the driver charged me 162 lei. My friend was charged 300 lei. I am leaving today and learned the receipt I got from the taxi driver is fake one. These drivers do not care how visitors view people in Romania!
That is unfortunate. But what you experienced with taxis is a world wide problem, not just limited to Romania. That is why we never used taxis. We always used either Grab or Uber where the fare is both shown and paid for through the app. Zero hassles. Thanks for watching!
use an application, next time, such as Star Taxi. It has reviews and they can't f* you up. And if they do you do it too, via bad reviews. But usually they are ok, when using the app.
Romanians eat a lot of pork so naturally that’s what we do best … one thing I miss from America when I go home is a good stake.. you can find it but it’s not easy.
Ah yes a good steak. It’s tough to beat the US when it comes to steak. We went to Vacamuuu and I thought the steak there was comparable to back home. The owner was super friendly as well and we had a conversation with him about Texas, which, is where we live. Thanks for watching!
@@superstrongr No, we have not been to that place. Amarillo is a pretty small town that does not have a lot of interesting things to see and it is also quite far away from where we live in Houston so we have not had much of a reason to visit. I have heard of the place you are talking about though. It is definitely a place we will visit if we are ever in Amarillo .
You pronounce the name of Caru cu bere restaurant totally wrong. Its not "Charoo choo bere" its like you say "karoo koo bere" Letter C is pronounced "k" not "ch". Romanian is a latin language, the letteres are pronounced almost like in italian.
Understood, I apologize to any Romanians for any mispronunciations I or Olena have made in our videos. Not intentional by any means. Thanks for the correction and thanks for watching!
It was not my intent to eat it that way. I wanted to eat it cleanly but it fell apart. Sorry if that bothered you. To be frank though, I don't go around pointing out to people who eat Ramen with a fork and spoon that they need to be using chopsticks.....I just let them enjoy it however they want regardless of how they eat it. Thanks for watching!
Really? We learn something new everyday! In the United States people work as well but when they are on vacation they choose to do what they want whether it is enjoying food or relaxing at home. Thank you for watching!
It is a tourist trap. The building is beautiful, but the quality of food is mediocre to low. It was tasty several years ago, but as the receipt grew, the food got worse and overpriced. The general attitude is "here! Taste some Romanian food, eat quick, clear the table, pay and get tf out!". The locals come for the interior and the interwar atmosphere, not for the food. That's why it's full.
@@ralukral9651 Why calling it a "tourist trap" and "you need to eat quickly and get tf out"? These people are just tourists enjoying Romanian hospitality. Nothing else.
You are entitled to your opinion just as much as we are ours. So what if it attracts a lot of tourists? That does not mean it is a place that should not be visited. Thanks for watching!
Appreciate the feedback but let’s go ahead and agree to disagree.

You are banned for life for mentioning bud light in that place, besides the beer itself has nothing in common. Also, that is not stained glass; it's colored glass, which is NOT the same! And I mean whatever you wasted my time with, at Caru Cu Bere. Why would anyone take your advice and follow your tracks??? The cartofisserie joint is JUNK! But you do love junk, where you're from... You covered food for poor people, but Bucharest stands out in fantastic high-end cuisine, which you most likely can't afford... Remember, Bucharest is not a magnet for poor people; it's much more than that and it can truly be amazing for any purchase-power. Cheers!
