"Inimă" - from latin "anima" soul and "gură" from latin gula ( throat) similar with italian "gola". Explanation for the ones who think it's just slavic influence.

[@MrQ454]

There is also in Romanian ”bucă” which signify cheek.„Țeastă” (like in It-Testo) as head

[@AdamSlatopolsky]

gola also exist in Spanish as throat and some derivated words as the verb "engolar", but it is not very common. Gula is one of the main sins (greed) and is also from the same root as gola

[@lai17]

@@AdamSlatopolsky gula is gluttony, not greed

To save a Google search for plebs like me unfamiliar with Romanian, their word for heart is directly translated as soul, which is why it's instead derived from anima.

[@claudiu8426]

Indeed. :) Salutare din Romania!

[@juandiegovalverde1982]

that´s right.

[@mirceadraga7421]

In fact, we understand Latin very well, because there are many other words derived from the Latin word in the Romanian language to denote elements from the same family. For example, in Romanian we also have CORD for heart. For the mouth, the CAVITATEA BUCALĂ is also used. The ear canal is the CANALUL AURICULAR. The nose has two NĂRI. Blood is LICHID SANGUIN... etc.

[@InAeternumRomaMater]

All of the words presented for Romanian are of latin origin, just that they had different roots of the latin words

[@mirceadraga7421]

@@InAeternumRomaMater This is true. Furthermore, Vulgar Latin in the east of the empire was slightly different from that in the west, although legionaries were sometimes sent from east to west and vice versa.

Some Romanian words, even if not similar to other Romance languages, have Latin roots, too. "Inima" heart comes from Latin "anima" soul; "gura" mouth comes from Latin "gula" neck

[@pablodmariano]

In portuguese, we preserved some of the original roots and writing when we refer to some technical adjective about that body part. For example: when is something about the eye, we use "ocular"; when it's something that concern to the ear, we say "auricular", and so goes on. And, in the law writing, we call the head text of the article, the "caput".

The basic meaning of "nares" pl of naris, (Acc. narem) is "nostril" and the Romanian word "nara" is inhereted directly from it, while Italian "narice" and French "narine" come from a Late Latine derivate; Except spanish, all the other languages in this video, inherited the word for nose from "nasus". "Picior" =foot; leg comes from Late Latin petiolus

[@mik91_N8]

"Inimă" is also called "CORD", but it is used more as a medical term. For exemple: "Operație pe cord deschis" means Open-heart surgery. "Cord" comes from strings ("coarde" not "corzi"). This word denotes the fact that the heart is a muscle, and that its mechanisms by which blood is pumped work like a system of strings.

[@h.adrian8911]

"Cord" - is a late loan (from Greek "Kardia" ..in Latin "cor"") through French "carde" and used as a medical term. It has nothing to do with the "coarda" = "string". We cannot know if it originally existed in the Romanian language or not, but if so, it was replaced by "anima" ("soul" in latin, .. "in the chest is the soul" ..) which became the current word "inima' = "heart". There are still isolated communities of romanians in the historical Maramures in Ukraine who say to the word "heart" .."suflet" (soul).

[@italiacometiamo]

[@PeloquinDavid]

This particular selection of words often seems to identify Romanian and the most common "odd-man out" - but that's mostly because it typically uses other closely related Latin cognates for many words where the other Romance languages often trace their descent from the same other Latin word. More typically, WRITTEN French words often look the most different, but when you hear some of them pronounced it becomes much clearer they're descended from the same Latin word. On the other hand, French has a particularly pronounced tendency to drop final vowels (turning them into a "silent e" at best), stop pronouncing final consonents and drop certain consonants from the middle of words entirely - making many such words sound very different from those in other Romance languages even though their written form may show a closer resemblance. I suspect French is, for this reason, the hardest of the Romance languages for other Romance-speakers to learn to read and write...

[@sanrmg]

I don' think so.... In my opinion, as a Portuguese speaker, it seems the Romanian is the most difficult language to read and understand. Spanish and Italian are very easy for me. French is so so... But Romanian, it's almost impossible to understand.

[@user-tl5rp2wg5z]

[@av4840]

🇹🇩🖤🇮🇹🖤🇵🇹🖤🇪🇸🖤🇫🇷🖤

[@PhilologieRomane]

Generically, ''bucca" is not the Classical word for 'mouth', it would be ōs, as "bucca" specifically means "cheek", "mouth cavity" or ''jaw'' and would only refer to the mouth colloquially, sort of like ''gueule'' in French when referring to human mouths/faces. It eventually came to mean mouth as a standard form, but that was post-Classical era.

[@alonsoACR]

You could say the same regarding Auricula being a colloquial variant. This seems to not be Classical Latin at all. If we have to give it a name, it's Late Latin.

[@nestingherit7012]

My beloved and closely related Occitan language certainly should appear here but only provided it’s truly spoken in the streets of its linguistic area. But given that it’s unfortunately not the case, you’ll see my Catalan language here acting excellently as itself and as the occitan representative at the same time, at least until this serious shortcoming is solved. Such is life ! < Well, in fact both are actually quite similar, so it sorta does the trick >.

I thought that nose in Latin is ,nasus' and ,nares' stands for 'nara' ( nostril in Italian and Romanian)
