"Munkás vagyok."

Translation: I am a worker.

[AlexRadu21]

Hah it sounds a bit like romanian "muncitor"

[HiMeCriss]

Yes! It seems to have the same Slavic origin :)

[Renardo_11]

For the etymology of munka (work), see Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/munka

[Brakimieni1]

Oh, so it's related to Polish męka (suffering). Fun!

[RoyHitch]

Is 'I am a workman' also correct?

[BenceFerdinandy]

yes

[RobertEddy]

The mun in munkás sounds like 'meen' -- threw me off!

[GrowingViolet]

"Worker" seems a bit ambiguous. Does this specifically refer to physical labor, like construction?

[wizwisdom]

Yep, munkás

[AGreatUserName]

So, just to clarify: if you're a titkárnő would you say munkás vagyok or nem munkás vagyok, hamen titkárnő?

[SzabadosAgi]

A secretary is not a munkás. So: Nem munkás vagyok, haNeM titkárnő.

[AGreatUserName]

Thanks! And I keep making that mistake during the course. For some reason, in my head, it ends up turning into hanım (a totally unconnected Turkish word), even though I know it's from "ha" + "nem" ...

[DavidMorle7]

Labourer is therefore a good translation

[Ser229339]

In Romanian "munkás" is "muncitoare"...

[HiMeCriss]

Muncitoare is feminine, muncitor is masculine

[pizspozseng]

Munka=work (noun). Dolgozik= work (verb).

[eyepatch1]

The voice is not saying "munkas" sounds like ninkas

[EvaKirche]

Can’t hear the “m” in the first word. Does “u” sound like a short “i”?

[VesnaPlee1]

Romanian is not a Slavic language.
