I want to see if my hunch is right. I'm thinking this country looks good in pictures but people hardly ever talk about it. I will reveal which country I'm talking about after ten people have posted their answers here.

Never been there personally, but I've heard from two different people that Kotor is supposed to be really beautiful.

That is beautiful! Where is it?

You do not WANT TO GO THERE. Ethiopia has many beautiful places and historical landmarks that you can visit.

that's no MANS LAND

But I'm a woman...😉

No, seriously, how bad is it?

Do those colors look healthy? It seems chemicals not good for humans to me.

I don't know. It may be. And it may not. Looks a bit like there could possibly be some percent iron or copper? But then, I'm not very familiar with these things, so I'm just making huge assumptions.🙂

how do you say yes and god in romanian? @damnata

Yes - Da

God -> if you just talk about him ...Dumnezeu

If you exclaim it like YES GOD YES.... Dumnezeule

How closely related to Russian is it? Do Romanian people understand Russians without taking lessons - and the other way around?

It's always the "Da" part that trips everyone lol. Every Russian person I met IRL started talking Russian to me convinced I'd get it. It's nowhere near simillar... only in terms of phonetics ...comes with the slavic influence.

It's a romance language but it doesn't sound like portuguese, french, spanish, italian. The vocabulary basis is 80% latin but the slavic accent is too damn strong. Only romance language to have kept the latin declension. Romanians will understand portuguese, french, spanish and italian to a high degree...but none of those will understand romanian (in speaking).

Moldavians can speak both, grow up with both.

So as far as how it sounds, I understand why it sounds like Russian. At its core...could not be more different (romance vs slavic).

172 cm is the average height of women from Montenegro.

Heaven.

That's my height.

Montenegro, here I come.


Yes, but you don't want to be average.

You should go to Philippines instead!

Actually that's the whole point. I had enough of being extraordinary and fabulous, there's grace in knowing when to walk away. 😆

I would go to the Philippines if they didn't have such a shitty marketing team....look at this 3 pages commercial for the documentary. Anticlimatic.

It did indeed trip me up. lol

"Romanians will understand portuguese, french, spanish and italian to a high degree...but none of those will understand romanian (in speaking)."
That is so unfair! lol

I do think it sounds a bit softer than Russian(I could be wrong, ofc.) I worked with a Russian and a Romanian(and a Greek) in a school project once and I didn't get the chance to ask these questions, because there was a lot of friction in the group, unfortunately. So now I finally got some answers. Thank you!🙂

I can't answer to that because any answer leads to a paradox lol.

Hello 😄 and thanks

Umm...i actually don't know the name of the mountain, it's a mountain range between Slovenia and Austria. You can't miss if you ask directions for Logarska dolina, ie Logger Valley! 😛

I'll remember Logarska dolina, thank you 🙂
