"Eu nu mănânc pâine."

Translation: I do not eat bread.

[idkhbtfm]

The Romanian word 'pâine' is related to the French word 'pain', right?

[russtanggg]

Also, the spanish word pan, the portugese word pão, and the italian word pane. From the latin pānis or pānem.

[JewishPolyglot]

Strangely enough, the Japanese word for bread is also "pan!"

[Rae.F]

It's no coincidence. The word came into the Japanese language via trade with the Portuguese. It's also where "tempura" comes from.

I wrote "don't" and it counted as wrong.... Come on...

Duolingo has trouble with contractions.

[BrasovDesign]

"Don't" worked for me right now. (Maybe they updated it. Make sure to report any obvious mistakes!)

[ElRey416336]

The pronunciation is awful.
Duolingo is a constant letdown.

"jew nu məˈnɨnk pɨjˈne"

[Tyndrum]

So when is manânc, manânci? When are the different forms of manânc used?

[BrasovDesign]

Eu mănânc = I eat (I am eating)
Tu mânânci = You eat (you are eating)

[FalloutNv1Slife]

Is this pronounced "puine"?

[Chris164233]

Other languages I'm learning, like Korean and French, provide audio. But I can't hear anything even when there is an audio button on the Romanian lessons. Is anyone else having (or not having) this same problem?

[Rae.F]

I can hear the audio in this lesson.

[STEFFIFI0902]

How pâine is pronounced? I hear a kind of l instead of â. Shall I clean my ears?

[BrasovDesign]

î and â are exactly the same sound, written differently based on the position in the word (for political/historical reasons).

The pronunciation is neither a nor i, but it is closer to i.

[John787925]

I can hear the difference between a and "a^" (don't have that diacritic), but "ă" sounds the same as "a" to me in these audio recordings - I assume there is a difference?
