"I bought this shirt without realizing it!"

Translation: Eu am cumpărat cămașa aceasta fără să vreau!

[Mamemimomu73]

Somehow it seems to me that the translation does not exactly mean the same as the original sentence. I think "fara sa vreau" means "without wanting it" while "without realizing it" should be translated more like "fara sa-mi dau seama". Opinions, anyone?

[T2LoN]

I couldn't agree more. Bad translation. "Fara sa-mi dau seama" is the better option. Plus, it is what most native speakers would say.

[Lixmage]

My initial thoughts were you would have to be a pretty hardcore shopaholic to buy a shirt without realizing it. Not being native Romanian I thought a vrea was to want so I tend to agree. I guess we need a native authority to comment.

[Mamemimomu73]

Yep. Waiting and hoping for it.

Hi guys, the native Romanian here :)
You are both right, the correct translation should be "fără să îmi dau seama / fără să-mi dau seama". Imagine my surprise when I saw it was considered incorrect...
I've reported it as such and I hope it will be changed soon.
For the little this will matter (and I know I have no credit in it) I feel so very proud you noticed that... It's pretty advanced for non-natives, not to mention Romanian is a tough language to begin with ^_^
You both made my day!

[Monica684041]

HI, I totally agree with you all here ...
As Romanian native speaker I was also astonished that my version " fara sa-mi dau seama " was not accepted as beeing right ...
The sad part is to realise, that during one year since you all have reported your comments here, nothing has changed ...!!!

[Bej483200]

You are completely right. I am Romanian and I was checking the courses for my language

[danhents]

Native romanian here.
The translation is somehow correct.
We oftenly use: i did something 'fără să vreau' (by mistake).

Without wanting 'it' =fără să 'o' vreau (wich means something forced you to buy it)

Without realizing it = fără să realizez / fără să îmi dau seama. And in this case this is accepted: fără să vreau (wich means you did something by mistake)

[Duvidfras]

I put "fara sa-mi dau seama" and it said I was wrong...

[AbigailCar992519]

E adevarat ce zici...merci pentru sfatul.

[Andrei565058]

"Sfat", not "sfatul" . You dont use the article here.

[vladdis611]

Cum ar fi fost sa il corecteze cineva ce nu e nativ roman

[AlexandraT2801]

Yeah, you right.
(to) Want-(a) vrea
(to) realizing- (a) realiza
Is not a huge difference, but, it is. In Romanian everything is interpretable :)

[AlexandraT2801]

I m a Romanian girl and, actually, the right answer is "am cumpărat această cămașă fără să vreau"

[David459689]

I have seen several people sleep-walking recently and buying shirts. It is a most curious phenomenon.

[tudor6707]

Astazi am cumparat aceasta camasa fara sa imi dau seama?

[Gheorghe496236]

"...fără să-mi dau seama" de ce nu este corect ?

[ManHOOman]

Its really annoyng what is the diffrence between shirt and t-shirt #Annoyed

[Daniel458259]

Shirt = cămașă , T-shirt = tricou

[mikklos]

The shirt has buttons.

[CristianaC263201]

Eu am cumpărat această cămasă fără să vreau! (not cămasa , fara)

[Mediterran18]

Nu este posibil să se folosească imperfectul?
Eu cumpăram cămașa fără să vreau.
Cred că în unele regiuni din România oameni vorbește astfel.

[AlexandruM95138]

There are some missing accent marks. Actually it would hvae been "această cămașă".
