"măgari"

Translation: donkeys

It sounds like "perhaps" in Italian.

[PirvuOctavian97]

yes it does, hehe. FYI it's a local balkanic word (possibly native balkanic (thracian or dacian) since 3 totally different language families have it (romanian măgar, albanian magar, bulgarian magare)

Thanks! I love learning about where words come from and learning about the early european history of places.

[PannasOwen]

Esatto!

The automated voice says, "măgar" instead of "magari". Măgar is singular, and I almost wrote it incorrectly. Just to let you guys at Romanian headquarters know :)

The "i" at the end of words is nearly silent in Romanian. If you listen closely though you can hear a very slight "y" sound at the end.
