"Eu nu am băut cafea atunci când am fost copil."

Translation: I did not drink coffee when I was a child.

Sau ”I did not drink coffee as a child”, also rejected...

Atunci what's it?

[LenaAnesia]

It means 'then', as in, back then, when I was a child. A bit redundant here.

[LenaAnesia]

"then"

My responses keep disappearing...
It means 'then', as in 'back then, when I was a child'.

So no "imperfect" tense in Romanian? Because in the other romance languages we would have used it in this sentence

[crbratu]

Yes there is imperfect in Romanian. That would be "Eu nu beam cafea atunci cand eram mic". But the above construction is also used.

[D3XT3RY0NuT]

As a native speaker, not using "imperfect" here is very strange for me.

What is the difference between KID and CHILD ???????

[BenYoung84]

In English? "kid" is a bit more informal, probably an Americanism originally.
