They are lawful because they follow pretty good the old Latin words, but definitively evil.

>deeply mixed with Polish/Russian
>It's more likely a Polish person may understand Romanian

Don't know where you're from, but you've clearly been horribly misinformed. Only proper Russian word I know of is tovarăș (comrade), and god only knows where you pulled the Polish from.
There is some argument to be made for some slavic influence, but we're talking about ancient slavic, definitely not proper Russian or Polish.

And in either case, it probably pales by comparison to the real major influence on our language is Dacian. Some of our most basic words are dacian in origin, like our words for: hat, old man, steam, lip, cheese. There's a lot of them.

I really hope you didn't take your "knowledge" of my language from quora users who are Brazilian lawyers, or from a rando who thinks ă and â are of slavic origin, when the list of dacian words are chuck-full of ă, â, ș and ț.

@alyx Not really, I have a good acquittance here who is Romanian, he's at Fediverse but still struggle with his instance 🤣 @chymera just fix your damn server and join those nice discussions .

And two months ago met a Romanian guy who knows Spanish quite well.

@waltercool @chymera
Well, you linked a really stupid quora article as source, so I have a hard time believing you.
Seriously though, do you comprehend how stupid and insulting it is to say Romanian is mixed with Russian or Polish? That's like saying English is mixed with German.

Again, sure there's slavic influence in our language, but we're talking about ancient slavic, not modern. Those root slavic words are not the same in modern Russian, to the point where you can make claims that Romanian has Russian in it, just like root latin words didn't remain the same in modern French, Italian, Spanish etc.

@alyx @chymera This is why I stated "historical reasons".

I know the language is not even close to them, but it's easier for those languages to understand Romanian than any other Romance language, at least without any knowledge.

I met Brazilians, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Galicians, I have Italian relatives... and without knowing the language, it's easy for me to understand they saying (except French) and bitwise.

I just can't say same for Romanian, even books are mostly unintelligible for me, and don't care about the weird letters, they are Romance for sure, just not used at any other Romance language, and that's fine.

@alyx @chymera Also, language is lot more than just words, there are meanings, pronunciations or ways to relate things.

The historical events of Orthodox's Romanian is lot different than Christian's Romance countries.

@waltercool @chymera
Now I know you're trolling. What does the Church have to do with anything? Fucking hell man...

@alyx @chymera U know what, gtfo. You are not even discussing. Every of your responses are just ad hominems

@waltercool @chymera
I don't think you understand how much YOU'VE insulted me and my people by saying we speak Russian words. I don't think you comprehend how much we hate Russia. So yes, fuck you buddy. You're clueless about this. You complain that you and whatever French and Italians you might know can't magically understand Romanian, but where the fuck are the Russians and Polish that can?! You make a retarded claim and expect me to be respectful? Show me the fucking Russians who just magically learn Romanian by trying to read a Romanian book. I'll wait.

@waltercool @chymera
There are basically 3 nations we have historical beef with, in order: The Otoman Empire (no longer a thing, and the animosity didn't convert that much towards Turks), Hungarians, and the bloody Russians. You're stepping on some very fresh and exposed nerves there buddy. You might as well be telling a Jew that he has Nazis to thank for his culture.

@alyx @chymera Yeah, you might be doing a generalization about Romanians to your perspective.

I know Romanians don't get well with Hungarians, but that's all. Maybe neither Bulgaria.

@waltercool @chymera
No, Bulgaria is fine. We invade their beaches every summer.

@alyx @chymera I kinda don't care about Russians like you do. That's a fact.

If you are assuming everyone must know how much you hate someone, then good luck at life. My Romanians acquittance don't share your same hate against Russians for sure, but neither idolize them.

@waltercool @chymera
We were literally under Soviet occupation. You think we enjoyed that? You think Eastern Europe enjoyed the communist hellhole? Maybe you think Ukraine likes what's happening these days too.

@waltercool @chymera
Why the fuck do you think EVERYONE around these parts rushed to join NATO and EU ASAP?

@alyx @waltercool @chymera
Today's Russia != Soviet Union

@MaxMustermann @chymera @waltercool
Not really. They're still lying and thieving bastards. When they return our gold treasury we sent to them during WW2 for safe keeping, then maybe we'll consider they've changed.

@MaxMustermann @chymera @waltercool
Correction, WW 1.

@alyx @chymera @waltercool Oh. That might be gone thanks to the Bolsheviks. Repaying may take while, I suppose.

@MaxMustermann @chymera @waltercool
Except Russia refuses to repay. They even refuse to acknowledge they ever had it, and they threaten that we shouldn't go digging the past. Seriously fuck them.
My issue here isn't necessarily that it's a lot of gold, but rather that among that gold there was a lot of historical artifacts that date from Dacian times. Some really important stuff.

Current Russia is more like the Tsarish Russia than USSR.

I don't really see they trying to expand more than their old original borders. That's their claim against Ukraine (and they are wrong for doing that).

@waltercool @chymera @MaxMustermann
Putin wants to expand back the USSR border, and he has made more than enough veiled threats towards my nation.

Weren't Romanians kinda OK with the Moldovian agreement?

Specially when Moldovians have to deal with Transistria issue and not Romanian.

@waltercool @chymera @MaxMustermann
Not exactly sure what Moldavian agreement you mean.

I mean, Moldova declared independence from Romania several years ago, this allowed Romania to avoid dealing with Russia as a direct threat, also relocating Russians from Romania to Moldova, but also relocating Gipsies from Moldova to Romania.

For Romania, it was kinda a win-win since they have a good ally with good treaties (movement), and not longer need to share border with Russia.

@alyx @waltercool @chymera @MaxMustermann
What country?

@waltercool @chymera @alyx
The official propaganda says that their motives are purely humanitarian and security related.

I can see why you have beef with Russia. A bunch of soviet born boomer won't repay it and the rest probably can't replace it. I guess its gone for some reason (i.e. given to somebody else). Joining NATO however can turn out to be a catastrophic decision.

Soviet borders? Bruh. Check this out. These were the old Imperial borders. This is what they are trying to recreate from what I can see from there.

I mean, I understand their proud, but trying to invade every single region because they speak Russian or share some Slavic ethnic is seriously stupid.

Not much different than Hitler trying to unify the German people at WW2.

@alyx @chymera Romania been kinda always in a middle ground like Poland.

They joined the Axis due political pressure (and Carol was rtard), then Allies, then their own people voted for communism and USSR kinda absorbed them, and history goes.

Did USSR intervened? Absolutely. But Russia is not the Soviet Union. They are proud of their doings? Kinda, some, but they aren't the USSR anymore.

Their Nazbol party was against Putin until Crimean invasion, obvious reasons.

@waltercool @chymera
>but it's easier for those languages to understand Romanian
No. Absolutely not. This is beyond retarded. How is it that I know multiple people who went to Italy or France without studying the language before hand, and got along just fine, but I know literally no one who can understand a word of Russian or Polish. And my parents actually had to study Russian in school (Soviet era and all that) and they still can't speak a word of it. There simply isn't enough commonality between Romanian and slavic languages to make them easy to learn in either direction.

At this point I can only assume that you're trolling, cause you're just completely absurd.

But you know what's the most retarded thing of all: this opinion of yours only proves your own inadequacy. Cause you, an apparent expert at languages (or at least latin ones) can't comprehend Romanian, but somehow Chinese people are able to learn it. Or maybe Romanian is a Chinese language too now.

I'm honestly properly angry right now. Jesus fuck...

@alyx @chymera Romanians can understand French and Italian, and as far I know, Spanish good enough. It's just not the inverse.

And I don't like to troll on threads lol. Blocked couple of people by doing that. I don't like to waste others time.
