"Eu citesc ziarul."

Translation: I read the newspaper.

[Thomas_Slo]

Cudos to Romanian for giving me a good laugh so early on in the process of learning it :)
The Slovenian word for "to read" is "čitati".
It felt funny to understand the sentence without really knowing the word. It gave me a similar feeling, as Esperanto did when I started learning it.

That word was borrowed from Ukrainian. The Slavic lexicon is very wide one in Romanian.

A pronunciation question - I hear a slight vowel sound between "citesc" and "ziarul". Is that typical between two hard consonants?

Thomas_Slo, I enjoyed that coincidence, too - "a citi" having a shared root with "читать". When exploring a new language, it's always nice to find a familiar cognate to mark the trail.

This palatization of di > zi in ziar is a little confusing and probably it's well to note it for beginners like me. In other Romanian varieties, e.g. Arumanian, the corresponding sound change is di > dz, which is easier to comprehend for speakers of other Indo-European languages /cf. Arum. Buna dzua vs Rom. Buna ziua vs VulgLat "Bona dies"/

Eu Citesca or eu citesc. Pronunciation sounds like citesca but its written here eu citesc. Which is true ?

eu citesc sau eu citesc

citesc (ro) - čitati (srb) - to read (eng)
Interesting.
