"Ei taie parbrize?"

Translation: Do they cut windshields?

[celestebancos]

What does it mean to cut windshields?

[Schattenparker]

Probably cut the glass when making them?

[dmb0058]

Yeah, it means to "cut them to fit" .. sometimes we say the same for windows

[Mamemimomu73]

Is it a profession to do that? If so then how is it called?

[dmb0058]

Tăietor de parbriz ? :) In English we say "windscreen fitter"

[dmb0058]

Ahh OK ! That's a "glazier" in English (geamgiu ?)

[Mamemimomu73]

I gave you a lingot for this :)

[Mamemimomu73]

No, no :) Cel care taie geamul. The one who does it for windows :)

[Mamemimomu73]

I was looking for the Romanian word. Geamgiu - I like this one :) Thanks for the solutions in both languages. What is your native language?

[David-Herron]

Yes the words literally mean that. I got curious because of all the confusion over this, and looked for a bit on how windshields are repaired etc.

Obviously windshields are unique in size and bend from one vehicle to the next. So it seems a windshield repair shop probably stocks the most common windshields, and special orders anything else. There's no way a typical windshield repair shop is going to custom fabricate one.

However - some drag racing afficianados do make custom windshields out of LEXAN. There are videos on YouTube showing what to do.

Could you say, " Se taie parbrize"?

[iiai]

Yes, it can be used.

I used the word "windscreens" which is what we call them here and it was marked wrong. Why????
