Top Comments of this video!! :3
Dana probably doesn't know but for "oglinda" there are two synonyms one is : "specul" similar to portuguese "espelho' but in Romanian that is referring to a mirror used by doctors to examine the human body from interior. Another one is "miraza", similar to french "miroir", but very very old and out of usage, it was used in one verse of a Romanian poem written by Dimitrie Bolintineanu

Swedish, with no formal studies of any Romance language, but a good deal of passive understanding and knowledge of Latin, Spanish and Italian. Watching with the screen scrolled down so I can't see the transcription at the top. The Romanian was easy. I got both words in just a couple of sentences and got most of what she said. The Portuguese was very hard to understand and I didn't get any of the two words. To my ears, Portuguese sounds like "Pjjd dshh prdjsht aoao eoeo brjshj". Either all consonants or all vowels in any given word... ;)

Having studied both the Slavic influence on Romanian and the History of the Romanian Language, I find it very frustrating that other romance language speakers always seem to blame the fact they don't understand Romanian on the Slavic influence. The reason you don't understand it is not so much the Slavic influence as it is the fact that Romanian comes from a slightly different type of Latin and some of the words changed their meaning (I could give you a lot of examples of Romanian words of Latin origin that you wouldn't understand because you don't have them in your languages), and also, because of the conjugations that we have and the article that is stuck to the end of the word (in this video, for example I was surprised he didn't understand "mÄsurarea timpului", although both words are Latin, but that was probably because of the endings). Also, there is no such thing as Slavic sounds or Slavic letters. It's a matter o vowel reduction and of choice of alphabet, or how to represent those sounds.

Hello all, I'm the moustache guy from the video. What I meant with "clock-maker" was "relojoeiro". I messed up the word with the nerves. The reason for the confusion is that whenever I need to go to a clock-maker, I go to a jewellery shop where there are "joalheiros" for jewellery makers and "relojoeiros" for clock-makers. Hence the confusion, I mixed both words.
