What is the difference between "ori" and "sau"?

[Rae.F]

I think they're pretty much synonymous.

[TheodorIon]

they are synonymous, yes

[patrick59922]

Omul bea cafea sau ceai. Why is this not correct?

[TheodorIon]

because om=human, bărbat=man. but here om is used often for bărbat

[TaraShield1]

"bea" sounds like "da" here to me.

[BobRadu]

I listened to it 8 times and i hear the same thing

[demi.jess]

Wow. That was scary. One of the options i received was "the man drinks children" I'm scared

[Ermeni-1915]

Bărbatul bea cafea sau ceai. Why is this wrong???

[Rae.F]

That's the official answer, but there is more than one word for "or". If you had a multiple choice question, you needed to select all of the correct answers, not just one of them.

[adluper1]

Its not, you can use both

When touise 'bărbatul' versus 'Eu bărbat'?

[Rae.F]

bărbatul is "the man"; bărbat is "man".

eu is "I". You wouldn't say "I man" or "I the man".

[Jamie340321]

Bârbátúl is the man, Eu is I so i man sownt work :)

[Davidgoyti]

When adding ul or le its THE form. LAPTE-LE etc

[deactivated user]

What does sau actually mean? Is it not comparable to the Sanish h "sea" or the French "soit", as in "Yo bebo sea café o té." "Il boit soit du café soit du thé." Which could also be stated as "Yo bebo café o té." "Je bois du café ou du thé."?

[Rae.F]

It's one word for "or".
