"Eu sigur mănânc carne!"

Translation: I surely eat meat!

[Coriander18]

Doesn't this mean 'I definitely eat meat?' Surely the person speaking would know they eat meat, there wouldn't be any uncertainty to it.

[SyntaxSocialist]

Definitely

[clivesheppard]

how about "of course I eat meat"?

[crbratu]

That would be "sigur că eu mănânc carne"

[Wes708337]

"I certainly eat meat" was accepted. This seems better to me than the given translation.

[LABv7L1N]

'I sure do eat meat' seems better English to me.

The English translation given is a little unclear to me. Would one of the native Romanian speakers be kind enough to give some alternative translations of what a Romanian would mean by this, or examples of the context in which this phrase might be used?

• Some of my colleagues are vegans. What about you?
• Well... I don't think I'm a vegan. I surely eat meat!

[deadbeat80]

I have to say that Romania surprisingly has a lot of options for vegans during in the shops, more than gemrany or Poland for sure, which

[philop98]

sigur sounds like it comes from German „sicher“

[JkumC5vF]

From latin "securus", "sure", "safe", but also "not caring".

[Izzoboetam]

in Spanish there's seguro, so I think its more likely to have a common root with that than with German (think also security)

[deadbeat80]

I accidentally hit send on my previous post before it was ready haha just know that Romania deserves a lot of respect for having so many nonanimal food options especially during post, a proper vegan heaven

[jp_miau]

Yes, Duo. Owl meat.

[JulianOwen8]

English people do not use "surely" like this. Try: (UK) I definitely eat meat. (USA) Sure, I eat meat
