"I was bringing water, they were drinking it!"

Translation: Eu aduceam apă, ei o beau!

[surreal_nonsense]

The accent is part english,part french BUT not romanian,that's for sure

[CookieGame10]

It IS romanian

[Kitty620343]

I wrote 'Eu aduceam apa,ei au bauto' and i got it incorrect.However their answer means 'I was bringing the water, they are drinking it' shouldnt m6 answer be accepted?

[tipsytree]

No, because the lesson is trying to teach the imperfect tense (past action with indefinite time frame), which, in the case of a bea, is beau.

au băut (-o, drank IT) is past perfect (past action with definite closure), and falls outside the scope of the exercise.

Side-note, a bea present / imperfect forms:

Present:
(eu) beau, (tu) bei, (el/ea) bea, (noi) bem, (voi) beți, (ei/ele) beau

Imperfect:
(eu) beam, (tu) beai, (el/ea) bea, (noi) beam, (voi) beați, (ei/ele) beau

[Mr_Marius]

'Cause the correct variant is "băut-o"

[Edawzz]

Beau pronuntiation is wrong

Eu sunt singura care sunt din Romania dar totusi m-am bagat la cursul de romana de plictiseala?
