why is that? :-)
Just wondering what we could do to make it easier!
No, I was kidding, because the word for "hamster" is just "hamster". The course is actually excellent good so far; you did a great job on it.
It would definitely make the course easier and more systematic if somebody had added the articles when introducing new words.

In another course on Memrise I learned "hârciog" for hamster, are the two words interchangeable?
Actually both Hungarian hörcsög and Romanian hârciog are of Slavic origin -->hrčak/hrček

Intresting. Because we use another word in Russian and Ukrainian, Belorussian, Polish, Bulgarian are also using something like ours хомяк (chomiak) - Хом'як, хамяк, chomik, xомяк but Czech, Croatian, Serbian, Slovak and Slovens uses křeček, hrčak, хрчак, chrček, hrčki
the word hamster is also related to slavic itself (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hamster#Etymology)
I always get this one wrong, does anyone have any tips to help learn this word. Mnemonics appreciated - i am native english speaker
I had a moment of confusion because seeing "hamster" made me think I was supposed to be translating into Romanian, not out of it... 8-o
there's an audio problem here. I had to press it like 5 times for it to work and it delayed.
Guessed*.. and is your profile picture a symbol of Roma people? The wheel of the caravan? im just curious
Typo. Yes it is, not many people know that actually, have it tattooed on both of my arms)
I love the culture and the Lore, plus my wife has Roma relatives. I wish you all the best my friend.
