"a man"

Translation: un bărbat

[kpelle27]

According to wiktionary, ”bărbat” comes from the Latin word for ”bearded” (”barbatus”).

Romanian comes from Latin.

Would "un om" also work?

[RobBeckett]

It does. ☺

[Marty97211]

Why does she sound so angry? She spits the words. Is Romanian typically a harsh language?

[Dog._.Lover]

No,not rlly:)

[itisLloyd]

The synthesised speech on this course is terrible. I find it best using a couple of other apps alongside DuoLingo to get an idea for what Romanian should sound like when spoken naturally.

[pa1975]

It's true. In Duolingo Romanian sounds very harsh, not so beautiful and musical as I have heard.

It keeps telling me to pay attention to my accents... But I don't have accents available on my keyboard. Any suggestions?

[RobBeckett]

If you are using an Android phone it is easy to install a Romanian keyboard. If you are using a computer, Duolingo provides on-screen buttons for ă, â, î, ş, and ț.

[Berila130]

You can click on the letters ăîșțâ.

[Anna981534]

For English keyboard: Hold your finger on the latter that is meant to have an accent, e.g. "e", and then it will have a popup with all sorts variations for this letter - just tap the one you need.

What the's difference between "un bărbat" and "un om" ?

DuoLingo just casually threw "un om" in as an answer despite never showing me this word before!

[curcubeu...]

om means 'human' :)

[itisLloyd]

Ah thank you!

[Dog._.Lover]

Ok. . . Duolingo is weird om
Means human
Bărbat means man
