Romanian uses hyphens to denote speaking/dialogue, whereas English uses quotation marks.
I think it seems to be two people speaking. They use it in other sentences like "How are you" - "Fine thanks"....So this is "Bye" from person one and "See you soon" from person two!
In Romanian there is no such expression: Mulțumesc, barbăt!
Did you wanted to say: Thanks man ?
1. The correct spelling: bărbat
2. You could say: (Îți) Mulțumesc domnule ! = Thank you sir ! (polite)
3. Îți mulțumesc frate ! = Thank you bro!/Thanks bro !
frate = brother
Agree with sylver12417, and a red stone for him! Let's add a familiar exclamation "- Mulțumesc, bărbate!" (a woman telling thank you to her partner).
Does pe curând mean "goodbye" as in the "you're leaving and I'm staying" goodbye that some languages have, or is it just another way of saying "goodbye"?
It literally means "through later", so that sentence is really, bye, see you later. I think...anyway!
Pe curând seems to be sometimes translated to 'see you' and sometimes ’see you soon'. Which is the most appropriate translation?
Translated as "Bye! - Laters" which is colloquial English and seemed a particularly good fit. Wrong of course!
