"Eu am văzut spiritul deasupra bisericii."

Translation: I saw the spirit above the church.

[Ser229339]

I think that more... Romanian it would be "duhul" than "spiritul"...

[razvan.marin]

In this context, indeed, you are correct. Especially if we are referring to the holly spirit which would be duhul sfânt.

[wyqtor]

'Duh' is of Slavic origin, while 'spirit' comes from Latin. It's also interesting to know that, when referring to the Holy Ghost, Orthodox Romanians say 'Sfântul Duh', while Catholics and Greco-Romans say 'Sfântul Spirit'.

Thank you, this is really interesting!

Yeah, but maybe they are speaking of ghosts.
