why is "i am at the service" not accepted? as in i am at the car service or i am at the service of others...
in Romanian that would be ”sunt în serviciul (ciuva)”. This expression „sunt la serviciu”, is only/mainly used to say „I am at work”, or ”at the office” or ”at the job”, or in sport (tennis) „I am at the serve”, „it is my turn to serve the ball”. There is no other meaning for it. ”Serviciu” can mean „service” in an expression like ”Îți fac un serviciu”, (I am doing you a favor/service), but here, not really..
