Learn to Greet and Introduce Yourself in Romanian

Start Your Romanian Lessons with Confidence

Are you just starting to learn Romanian? One of the first and most essential skills is knowing how to greet people and introduce yourself. In this article, we’ll explore one of the first lessons from our Romanian course for adults, which cover Romanian greetings and introductions. You’ll learn how to say hello, goodbye, introduce yourself, and understand the basic use of the verb “a fi” (to be) and personal pronouns.

Understanding Romanian Greetings

In the lesson titled “Salut! Cine ești?” (Hello! Who are you?) we focus on formal and informal greetings. Some of the key expressions introduced include:

• Bună! – Hello!

• Salut! – Hi!

• Bună dimineața! – Good morning!

• Bună ziua! – Good afternoon!

• Bună seara! – Good evening!

• La revedere! – Goodbye!

• Pa! – Bye!

These expressions are used in different social contexts. For example, “Bună” and “Salut” are informal, while “Bună ziua” and “La revedere” are suitable for formal situations. The lesson includes listening, repetition, and completion exercises to help learners practice the appropriate form of greeting.

Introducing Yourself in Romanian

The lesson titled “Cine ești?” (Who are you?) builds on this foundation by teaching how to introduce yourself. Students learn simple phrases such as:

• Eu sunt Maria. – I am Maria.

• Eu sunt profesor. – I am a teacher.

• Tu cine ești? – Who are you?

Romanian Personal Pronouns

This lesson also introduces personal pronouns in Romanian:

• Singular: eu (I), tu (you), el (he), ea (she)

• Plural: noi (we), voi (you all), ei (they – masculine), ele (they – feminine)

Conjugation of the Verb “A Fi” – To Be

And the conjugation of the verb “a fi” (to be):

• eu sunt – I am

• tu ești – you are

• el/ea este – he/she is

• noi suntem – we are

• voi sunteți – you (plural) are

• ei/ele sunt – they are

Practical Exercises and Conversation

The lessons include realistic dialogues such as:

• “Bună! Eu sunt Mara.” – Hello! I’m Mara.

• “Salut! Eu sunt Mehmet. Tu cine ești?” – Hi! I’m Mehmet. Who are you?

Learners are encouraged to practice these interactions with classmates or in speaking exercises. There are also fill-in-the-blank activities to help reinforce the correct forms of the verb “a fi” and the use of subject pronouns.

Why This Lessons Matters

Mastering greetings and introductions in Romanian is essential for everyday communication. Whether you’re meeting someone for the first time or saying goodbye, knowing the right phrase helps build connection and confidence.
