Eggplant dip (or Baba ghanoush in the Middle East) is very common in Romania!

[IAmCrazyHope]

Thanks for sharing! I always wondered what baba ghanoush was!

Salata de vinete

Bun echipament ...

ai dreptate! i often "misunderstand" what especially the lady says!

[anthonydav260678]

For the benefit of non native speakers of English, "eggplant" is American; elsewhere it is "aubergine".

[housekisama]

In Spanish, eggplant/aubergine=berenjena. Aubergine makes sense and sounds more familiar (I am a Spanish native speaker). But... in the US, they literally call "plant of eggs" to the vânătă. I always imagine a plant with eggs instead of fruits or something.

[Colin220650]

Aubergine!!!! I am not an American.

The course is Romanian to American English. It will accept other dialects so just report it instead of complaining here.

Și un morcov

[omniduo]

I always hear și un , as șun. Is it a colloquial reduction, or just quirks with an audio?

[lullaby180]

Just quirks with an audio.

[j.p.haaleb]

i think audio's sometimes are quite hard to understand or are broke off at the end of a word or the sentence..to me Vanata sounds like Banata - like in spanish the V is often pronounced as a B

[Sally7.1.21]

When do you used î and â?

[nolemay]

If I am not mistaken, it is the same sound, î is reserved to the beginning of a word and â in the middle of a word.
