"El are șaisprezece ceasuri."

Translation: He has sixteen watches.

[PaulMinden]

has anyone heard the expression "era rau cu 'der die das' dar si mai rau cu 'davai ceas'"? This seems perhaps intentionally reminiscent of that...

[Schattenparker]

That would be the story of the actor Constantin Tănase: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constantin_T%C4%83nase#Death

By the way, the word of Slavic origin ceas ~ час is also the Russian word for hour, but they use the plural часы for a watch/clock, so "давай ceas!" is indeed mixed for "Give watch!"

Just looked it up. Interesting, if somewhat unpleasant, story. Thanks :-)

[PaulMinden]

Glad you at least found that interesting. Not an uplifting story, no...

These are the types of Duolingo comments I live for. Thanks

Must be un elvețian

[Iris-92]

It could also be translated as "clocks", right?

[Miki8307]

Right.

Does any one else find the sound odd on this one?
