From Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pr%C3%A2nz

[italikaren]

pranzul = the lunch?

Is there a word without "-ul" since lunch isn't really something you'd say with "the" in front?

[Renardo_11]

There are sentences where nouns do not have articles; for instance after the preposition "la" you often do not use an article. Nevertheless, Romanian generally uses the definite article more often than English.

[arracachaco]

Same as in Italian: "io mangio IL pranzo" (I eat the lunch), where pranzo is a noun; you can't say "io magio pranzo". If you don't want to use the article, then you have to omit the verb "mangiare", hence "io pranzo" (I lunch). Pranzo becomes then a verb (pranzare).

[mickeymouse1955]

I like the way you use the Italian example. Mulțumiri!

[Hector290697]

"Mangio" looks like "mange" from French. What a nice language family we all share. By the way, after I finish French, Romanian, and German, Italian is next as my 7th language (holy smokes!). It's a beautiful language.

[Chrzaszcz2]

Cool. For me its so difficult because my native language is polish:-\

[Chrzaszcz2]

But german is a near to the latin languages, that makes easier.

[AndrijAndrusiak]

What's 'dejun' then?

[MonicaMindru]

Mic dejun = breakfast
Dejun = lunch, but I have never heard anyone using it.

[verylargehat]

Which is so much like petit déjeuner in French.

[AndrijAndrusiak]

Voilà ! C'est pour ça que j'ai posé la question.

[arracachaco]

Dejun c'est comment en français, mais prânz c'est comment en italien. Très particulier!

[Doramardo]

alors 'mic', c'est 'petit'?

[mr.speak]

oui 'mic' c'est petit ;-)
'Mic' means little..

[Hector290697]

Oui. Nous avons une bonne famille de langues. :)
