"Eu beau apă."

Translation: I drink water.

[themerdoc]

since I know a lot of romanian people and I speak with them every day, they dont pronounce the word "beau" like its pronounced on this one. Thats definitely a mistake.

[raztud]

beau is pronounced incorrectly.

[Rae.F]

So how should it be pronounced?

[digitalpointer]

A rough approximation in English would be to say that it rhymes with the word "meow". Check out http://forvo.com/word/beau/#ro

[mathteacherc]

My Romanian husband, from Craiova, pronounces it like "meow", so beow.. Apparently, there are different "accents" in Romania, but the standard is the Bucharest one.

[themerdoc]

Im not sure if it makes sense to you but romanian language is pretty much pronounced the way its written.

[Rae.F]

So is Irish. The question is, what are the rules that govern the orthography?

[Getaraketa]

it should be pronounced as be̯aw

[luca857258]

Youre right

[nunes89]

does the romanian eau sound like the french eau? /o/

[potestasity]

For some reason, the pronunciation here is way off. It should be /beaw/ (I'm not very good with IPA, but the key is the diphthong "ea")

[nastassssia]

ea is like ya

[potestasity]

There are some contexts in which this is true, but not here.

[nastassssia]

i mean it sounds like "ea " sounds like "ya "

[BrasovDesign]

I admire the efforts of the contributors but this girl is speaking way to fast (somehow "compressing" words) (or maybe is some software "optimization" that ruins the pronunciation).

[BobbieEarl]

You're saying that Romanian is spoken slower than she's speaking it? If you are saying that, that is a relief. Lol

[FilipF3]

You're right it sounds kind of french in this.

[IrinaGeorgiana10]

No, it does not. This is definitely a mistake!

[334.34zn2oQcupYW]

No. The vowels "e," "a," and "u" are pronounced "eh," "ah," and "uu," respectively. Hence "eau" in Romanian is just those three sounds in that order, pronounced in one fell swoop.

Hello

No, not is it the pronounce like french, in the next link you can listen the pronounce native.

greetings from Colombia

[rpiereck]

It rhymes with the English meow

[HastaLaVista83]

Not at all! French has one of the weirdest pronunciation rules of all languages I know!

Is the word 'apă' pronounced like 'apple' in English?

[Rae.F]

No. In Romanian, a is pronounced like in "car", and ă is pronounced like in "love".
https://www.duolingo.com/skill/ro/Basics-1
I don't think Romanian has vowel like in "apple".

[zchale6]

so is "apă" pronounced a bit like the English word "upper"?

[Rae.F]

The ă in apă is pronounced like the u in upper.

apă sounds more like on-pull.

[BrasovDesign]

upper is a good aproximation (but with the first A from apă more open (like you would say "Aaaah").

[lufloidio]

Yes, it is similar

Romana sau engleza eu inteleg de toate mam nascut in Angila:)))) ;))))

[BrasovDesign]

Bravo! Ortografia corectă este "m-am nascut"... ( am lăsat-o fără diacritice :) )

[LucasBauer19]

I'm just wondering, could this also means "I am drinking water" or is there different conjugations for that?
