We were invited to a Romanian birthday party! 🇷🇴

Happy Birthday Stela!
La multi ani Stela, Ana’s mama!
Amazing birthday party in a Romanian village…bbq, mici, palinca, tuica, wine, sarmale…the family made the best Romanian food! Ana taught us Romanian traditional dance and some Romanian card games. A hilarious uncle even performed magic tricks, and kept feeding us with food still in our mouths😅 Amaaaaazing!!!!!!!! Thank you again Ana, Stela, and family!❤️

Special thank you to Ana and family❤ La multi ani to Stela, Ana’s mama. This is why we travel,and why we love Romania! This experience was . Food was delicious. We hope you all enjoy this video

I enjoy every second 🎉😍

Thank you Ana and family.

[@danielhristea4208]

That's the spirit of the Romanian people! 😊

The stature of the Dacians (aka Romanians) is big because of the Dacian genes. Check the Physical Characteristics on wikipedia at the Dacians page.

[@David.Guia_EUROPOL.TheHague]

I told you earlier that there is no such thing as "one mici". "Mici" is plural of "mic". What you had over was "one mic".

[@madalinaanton3253]

If everyone on the planet was raised by a romanian grandma the world would be a better place. I was filled with love at that smile and started crying. I miss my grandma.

I lost her when I was like 5-6yo, from my mom's side(49yo) and from my dad's, well, I've met my dad twice and his parents once...And my only one got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2017(46yo) and fortunately she still lives but 3000miles separate us for over 7 years... It says that life is how you make it but in my case my life is s#!t naturally.

Steve, don't worry if you haven't caught the dance moves, as a Romanian I dance just like you:) You are the best tourism ambassador for Romania

Congratulations to Ana's family!!! The pure Romanian feeling.

[@lucianboar3489]

It's an Oltenian dance so, they're the masters at it. Canadian or Transylvanian, still clumsy at it :)

[@Galavis.]

Romanian bday parties are for sure some of the greatest cause you feel like you're part of the family.

[@DreamChaser4]

This is the perfect example of how romanians party in the familly when there''s birthdays or any reunions actually. This is pretty much to the core of our spirit. You should really experience Christmas or weddings. Thats were things go wild.

[@cristinabb9956]

In the countryside...in the city they party with pizza and beer 😀😃

[@lucianboar3489]

It's a bit nuttier in Oltenia, though :)

[@XXI_Rapax]

Wow you got the full experience including "The Full of Love Uncle" 🤣. Every Romanian family has at least one

[@iurietivladut7607]

the most amazing fact about this video is that every romanian party is like this. it doesn't matter if the relatives are not that friendly to each other or there is some bad blood between them. after a couple of cups of wine, beer and tuica, we are all best friends! Glad you guys enjoyed this experience! And we wait you back next year! Come to Iasi next year and experience a moldavian romanian party, I invite you to my birthday party in late June next year :D

Well, nice job guys, nice job Steave. You managed to stay with the "fun uncle" and drink side by side. Romaninans do take pride when they outdrink their drink buddy. Haha. Romanians have strong drinks, not recommended to mix them. I think you found out why:). All in all, you passed the romanization test, drink with a senior guy, eating untill you can't eat no more, and going home on your own feet. 6 stars! Btw, the "fun uncle" is called "balkan dad" around here

[@francophile4082]

[@alexden1761]

Does everyone speak English in Romania? And they really do it at a very good level, even the 50-year-old woman.

[@pasaniucdaniel4112]

Most seniors know either no other language or just some bits of some languages no real grammar, but they are usually open to the idea of foreign languages and will use phrases in any language they might know a word in (usually French, Spanish, Italian, some German, some Hungarian or even Russian), and most people in their 30s and lower can probably hold on some level a conversation in English (exceptions do exist obviously)

[@geogeo6657]

mostly yes !!! spaek bit of english or francs other russian

[@LelChiha]

Kinda split. The end of the communism regime shows that quite well, actually. Elderly folks will probably know some Russian since, during communism, it was mandatory. Thus, you won't really find older people who know English here (there are exceptions tho, especially between teachers) However, most young people know English quite well. It's even being taught in some kindergartens. I had my first English lesson when I was 6. Universities also have optional courses for languages such as German, Russian, French, Dutch or even Chinese or Japanese. So I think the country is going in the right direction with this

[@paula19335]

We all have an uncle like that. I am so sorry you couldn't say no. But they have good intentions. You guys are really really REALLY nice and I honestly like you a lot ❤

[@nomadrone2020]

La Mulți Ani Stela and best wishes for the whole family. I think Ana made a big mistake, she could prepare you and told not to eat for 2-3 days before going to the birthday party 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you, Ionut! We did have an amazing time at the party. Everyone was so welcoming and tried to make us feel at home. People like them are the reason why we want to come back to Romania every year. So we sure will be back again

[@andreienea3132]

the fact that you are so natural makes this channel fun.

[@mircea-andreigherasim9608]

I love this video so much, it pretty much covered the classic Romanian birthday, the cards game with all the arguing, the classic uncle that is hyper energetic and present at all grills, knows magic, drinks a lot and is loud at all times, the țuică, vin, palincă and too much food that lead into the dance (horă), the feeling of absolutely fullness that you have to push through to also taste the desert, all the food that you ate, god. Hope you made good memories, noroc!

Romanian Culture Fact: The people that bring coliva to the church, they do that on Sundays or on certain holly days or on the date of birth or death of the person they are commemorating through the dessert offering. Practically, it is believed that what is offered in the church the dead receives in the other realm.

Hehe... if you guys are out of breath after a small time sarba, wait till you hit a wedding and see why the food has so many courses ( you have the appetizers, then some sort of soup, then steak or other roasted meats with a garnish, then there's the sweets and the or d'oeuvres and snacks, then there's the cake, and then... just when you think you can't take anymore...sarmale). And you already know how the plating goes per person, it's already dished or they bring a pot to every table so you can help yourself. So far, all the weddings I've been to, have had the traditional 30 min long sarba, and everybody danced. And that's beside the other music that can keep you mostly on your feet, if they aren't serving the food ( in which case, they play soft music). It's how you burn off all the calories in a fun way and make place for more food... and drinks.

teach others our language, because our language has the endings of the vast majority of words in e or ă and this means that we end the word and the sound finishing in E is a smile. That's why we are so beautiful because we smile when we speak, so when you come into contact with people who speak English, learn from us because English has consonant endings, hard endings that is ING; T, D, L and it doesn't make the mouth open, and hence cold behavior, fake smile, and it's not a positive language...so, our language is a treasure
