Hi Davud , I ‘ve noticed a comment down this thread and you or KZbin blocked any reply to that comment - which is wrong either way. The comment was about “ don’t call Romanian old ladies *babushka* because we are not Russian” . It is true and any reference to Russia and Russian things in Romania you should treat as very sensitive or avoid. I’m not gonna get into details, every nation is entitled to their sympathies or non-sympathies when it comes to history and past suffering. Russia invaded Romania 11 times in the past, that’s not going to be forgotten easily, but that’s not what I want to explain here. So, let me explain why “babushka” is incorrect and not very nice: apart from Romanians not liking to be called Russian names because they are not a Slavic nation but a romance or Latin provenance nation, the word BABA which in Serbian and other Slavic languages means literally “grandmother,” in Romanian means derogatorily “old woman” or “old hag”. The word to address to an old woman in Romania shouldn’t have to start with “babă”! The corect word is “doamnă” if the old woman is a bit more polished and more like a lady, or “bunica” (boonika) or mamaie (mammyeah) or tanti (tauntie) if she is more of a country woman or a simpler woman . You cannot call a university professor in her 70s mamayeah or boonika…or tauntie you would have to call her “doamna”. So if the word baba is derogatory in Romanian, babushka is not far from it and most Romanian old ladies don’t like to be called “babă” even if they are 80, because it sounds derogatory. Especially those who are not grandmothers are even more sensitive of being called baba or babushka. I’m only trying to help you and I’m taking my time writing a long post not only to be very clear to you but eventually to be clear to other people reading the comments here; because what’s the point of travelling if we don’t learn certain things… right? 🙂 I enjoy your vlogs very much and I will definitely stay at Lucia‘s place when I’ll go to Romania next time, thank you for presenting us her cozy houses where I would love to spend a few days. You are not only a great vlogger but you are also a really nice human being. 🫡🤝👍 PS. Even if she is not a university professor Lucia should be addressed to as “doamna Lucia” 😉

Don't call her Babushka, it's offensive. Not a Romanian word! The right word is "Doamna" or "Lady."

Nobody talking about this lady in her 70's taking care of everything alone? Imagine in the winter she has to buy wood and carry it in every room to heat up the house, don't forget she has to clean the tons of snow falling every day. The amount of work she does is insane. This, the natural food and clean air is keeping her young and active.

I know the stereotypical way to call older women from Eastern Europe is "Babushka", but we don't really use this term in Romania. It's more of a Russian term. If you want to be polite (and potentially impress as a foreigner), you can use the word "doamnă" when addressing a woman in Romania. Phonetically it would be pronounced something like dwam-nah (wa like in water and the ah at the end like the "a" used in English as the indefinite article - a room, a car etc.). English doesn't have the correct diphthong, but "wa" is probably the closest. It's not a perfect explanation, but it's a start :)

E adevarat ca "literal" colt se traduce drept corner in Eng, doar ca in Romana, in contextul florii acesteia, "colt" nu are sensul de unghi, intersectie de pereti, etc, ci se refera la celalalt sens, de stanca, stei, roca montana... Colt, in Romana mai veche, are si sensul de stanca ascutita. De aici ii vine numele, floarea crescand pe stanci montane. Prin urmare, traducerea in Eng. a numelui ei nu poate contine cuvantul "corner"... Ar putea fi " mountain rock flower", ori "cliff flower" ori alte formule potrivite si identice sensului romanesc.
@omulamfibieАй бұрын
Fun fact: floare de colt n-are nici o treaba cu coltul pe care l-ai tradus tu. Traducerea contextuala a numelui romanesc in engleza e de fapt "cliffhanger's flower".
