I'm having trouble understanding the pronunciation here. Audio sounds a lot like "payhar" instead of "pahar". Anyone knows?
It's pa-har as someone else said. The computer pronunciation is wrong. Source: my Romanian girlfriend.
So pahar is another way to say cup? Is there a different word for the material glass or is it the same word?
The word for the material "glass" is sticla, (with the a that has the u-shaped hat on top), and actually sticla is also used to mean bottle, because bottles used to be made out of glass. If you want to say plastic bottle, you would say sticla de plastic
Samia, if you use the word glass in English to mean a cup you drink from, in Romanian you say pahar, but if you use the word glass in English to mean the material, glass, then in Romanian you say sticla (with the a that has the hat that looks like a u, I just can't type it here) and sticla is also used in Romanian to mean bottle, because bottles used to be made of glass. If you want to say plastic bottle, you say sticla de plastic, I hope this helps!
On MY computer it does sound like she is saying "Pashar"... and that is confusing the dickens out of me.
Onkel, I am Romanian, and the correct pronunciation is pa- har ( with the accent on the second syllable)
