Don’t miss watching our video about Moldova here! 😁🇲🇩: ua-cam.com/video/GqvdGQaxw9g/v-deo.html
dracul is not dragon )) dracul is devil.
I'm Romanian and video it has good information.
I just have to tell that there is no region in Romania called "Moldavia", the real name it's the same like our neighbor country Moldova.
I've been living in Romania for the past 500 years and I've never seen one single vampire my whole life.
Hahah this one made me laugh 😂
I went to the castle and asked many people older than that if they saw a vampire and they all said no.
@@antonioZaRasFiNaLbOsS When I was a student, I had some colleagues who came through an exchange program and I remember them telling us that Romanians are nice vampires. :))
@@CortiBeats Wait! So, not everyone is able to morph into bats whenever they want?

Romanians are our best neighbours. I love Romania and greetings from Bulgaria. Have been there many times! ❤
Blagadaryu Vas for the kind words. I've been to 🇧🇬 too and I loved every day spent there. The people, the Golden Sands hotels, the food, the roads and many more things.
Same, we visit Bulgaria every year for ski and sun :)

Schengen is not "passport-free" but "border control free". Romanians already don't need passports to travel in the EU - we can travel by ID card alone.
Yep, and to be honest, i don't want us to join schengen ;)
@@ert5585 Why?
@@Quetzalcoatlus_Lawson because of the humiliation they inflicted ! I would quit Schengen and buy all the Austrian companies + i would stop all the trucks that want to go to Austria and check them for 6h one truck until they beg us to join the Schengen zone.
@@cafta Romania loses 10 billion € for each year outside of Schengen. Joining it should still be out too priority instead of these kiddy tantrums. No amount of pride should stop us from joining Schengen.
The solution is diplomacy, not these thoughtless, emotion-driven actions. These protests would hurt us more then it would Austria.
We're also both in EU, we can't act like pirates at the first inconvenience, we'll only lose from this while Austria loses nothing, we'll become a second Hungary.
Act instead with your wallet, stop supporting Austrian companies and boycott them.
@@ert5585 do you realize that romanians pay a big price for not being in schengen? Have you seen the truck waiting lines at the border? This waiting has a cost that you pay in higher prices and lower wages then if this border checks didnt exist
It litteraly makes romanian exports not competitive,why would anyone buy Romanian made products that take 10 days to arrive when they can buy made in germany that arrives the same day? You need to start using your brain if you have any
Before the covid i was saving money to travel to Romania, fascinating country, beautifull nature! Unfortunately i will not be going there any tme soon. But some day i will. Greetings from Latvia to all Romanians!
All the best from România to Latvia ( or like we say it in romanian ) Letonia! 💙 .
I would love to see Latvia but as you say, I will not be going there any time soon. 😂
I hope you can make it happen. They have nice and friendly hostels there, if you travel solo I would recommend staying in those, makes the trip more economical than staying in hotels or apartments.

I'm from Ukraine, currently live in Romania, I love it. I like that a lot of things can be done via internet, even you can buy groceries from Auchan or Kaufland sitting home and they would deliver groceries to you for very affordable price. Also mobile and home internet are cheap comparing to EU countries. The only thing i didn't like is lots of cars and hard times finding a parking place though the situation is much better than in Italy thank God. Generally, the country is nice to live in. People know English better than me so it's not hard to communicate.

No Romanian or Moldavian uses the word Moldavia. Both the Romanian Moldova and the republic of Moldova, we call Moldova. (Romanians sometime call the republic of Moldova as Basarabia). But the word Moldavia does not exist in our language.
no longer exists*
Exista denumirea asta in hrisoavele vechi care descriau tinutul Moldavia de pe timpul lui Bogdan I. Dar chiar si atunci era denumita asa de catre cei din afara, nu de catre cei din interiorul granitelor. Ma rog, granitele care abia se stabileau pe la 1100-1200, in forma in care le stim acum.
@@janteo1 Moladavia is the English adaptation of Moldova.
It is like me saying Polonia instead of Poland, or Anglia instead of England. The word Anglia never existed in English.
@@vladmatei1958 it's called an exonym if i recall corectly, but it's funny cause the example you used is wrong, Anglia does exist in english, there is a region called East Anglia in, you guessed it, east of England. actually the people of england were first called anglo-saxons

@@stephanthegreat1348 please explain
@@MathewCO720 cuando Traian a luchado para conquistar Dacia a llamado a los dacos(los rumanos) hermanos. Los del imperio romano no necesitaban traductor para comunicar con los dacos de Dacia.
Se llamaban hermanos. Pero los dacos era pacificos y justos no como los romanos. Los dacos querian solamente vivir en paz.
De hecho el idioma de los dacos era posiblemente aun mas antiguo que el antiguo latino.
Ahora los sud americanos han sido cambiados por los espanoles que no son mas latinos de ninguna forma que los rumanos. Los rumanos son de verdaderos latinos orientales de Europa y son latinos de mas de 2500 anos. El idioma de Dacia no ha podido ser cambiado en solamente 185 anos de ocupacion teniendo en cuemta que solamente el sud de Rumania actual(20%) a sido controlado por el imperio romano debido a los pueblos migratorios de Asia.
La existentia de Rumania es un milagro istorico muy raro en Europa debido a los 3 grades imperios( austro-hungaro, ruso, otomano) que querian comer cada uno parte de su teritorio.

@@CountriesExplained Next time try to actually search how the words in romanian are pronounced. Butvery good video tho
@@comediavietii1245 🙏😁
@@dElChapuliun a pronuntat destul de bine pentru un strain
FUN FACT:
"Romanian preserved the Latin case system and grammar while the other Romance languages developed prepositions and dropped the case system entirely.
This means Romanian is the closest language to Latin in terms of grammar.
It's impossible to communicate the Latin vocative case in Italian, but when a Romanian hears "et tu brute" they know exactly
how Caeser meant it(or Shakespeare rather).
Other people who hear Romanian think it sounds closest to Latin. To me Italian sounds quite effeminate with its "o" endings.
Romanian is the only romance language that still maintains a masculine and authoritative sound like Latin does.
The case declensions in Romanian are inherited directly from Latin.
Example of Latin case declension:
Latin: intelligimus linguA RomaniAE
Romanian: Intelegem limbA RomaniEI
Italian: capiamo LA lingua DELLA Romania" @UlpianHeritor
I always find it flattering when people find my comments and copy/paste them in other videos. 😊
I appreciate your commentary. The exposure of South Slavs to the cultural influences of Eastern Roman empire in first milenium AD with creation of Old Slavonic from south Slavic dialects made entrance of influences from Latin grammar and case declension to modern south Slavic languages (bul. serb. cro.) denoting also former speakers of Latin like Romanians but having mostly different vocabulary. The line of influences in time is Old Slavonic to Medieval Bulgarian ( first Bul. Emp. having Latin speakers as subjects ) to Rus./Belorus/Ukr. etc ( after 800 AD). See theory "Sprachbund" (" language federation")- Wikipedia. It reflects a reality of first milenium AD in Eastern Europe of ad-hoc federations more or less consensual of sedentary populations and migratory tribes going sedentary trying to emulate East. Roman Empire. Best regards.

Romania is a country that is really beautiful if you go on tours and visit the beautiful scenery. What's interesting is that it's like a condensed Europe when it comes to natural beauties. You have delta's, canyons, glacier, caves, rolling vine hills, rocky mountains, sprawling forests and seaside. Mostly this is due to the fact that the country geography is made up of fields, hills and mountain in equal parts.

I would have just a small thing to criticize. I can imagine it would be a huge pain in the rear to get it properly for every country but great journalists try and pronounce the names as close as possible to how they are spoken.
I'm always blown away when sports commentators correctly pronounce the names of the players.
Moldova and Moldavia are the same thing. The eastern Moldova, after being taken by Russians was renamed as Basarabia. The real Basarabia was the southern part of the East Moldova (mostly now in Ukraine). Also, the portion that you named Transilvania is composed by more regions than Transilvania itself, like Maramures, and Banat.
Great video! Romania is the undiscovered diamond of Europe. Moldova was part of Romania before WW2, we have a similar culture, same history and language.

I am Romanian. I love Romania ❤! Thank you for your efforts to describe in a few minutes documentary ROMÂNIA, my country, which I am proud of. Yes, although many migratory tribes (slavs, huns, gepids, goths, cumans, sarmatians, tatars, mongols, otomans) ransacked our country and after that Empires tried to force us become one of theirs, we stood still and fought back and protected our dacian legacy (you would be surprised by what a longevity had the dacians, as an united people, they were the ones that amazed the roman emperors and teached them a lesson not to forget at Tapae (2 times) and in a Daco-Roman first war (the roman occupation was between 116 - 271 - Dacia (Felix) Romana it was called but that is not to be considered a conquest but rather a way of living in peace and sharing the roman and dacian cultures for about 150 years! After Roman retreat, DACII have been ravaged by the barbarian tribes in swift raids. In the 1200-1300s they established boundaries of Transilvania, Munteania (Wallachia) and Moldova. But there were so many longings for these three principals (PRINCIPATE) that this land's conquest was one of the most important missions the Europe rulers had. If you owned these states you could easily be acknowledged as the king ruler. As such, Mihai Viteazul (Michael the Brave) had united these three rich little "countries" under one command in 1600, but then he lost the territorries because the greek secret mission of Eteria killed him and this led to an unexpectedly outcome. Then the fanariots came in 1700's and the land was in turmoil and rulership instability due to the otoman conquests and expanding politics of other empires. And after that, the 1848 Revolution came across Europe, these small regions taking part to it, too. The reason they fought for was the freeing of peasant slaves (called "iobagi"), and independent ownership of the land. Alexandru Ioan Cuza reunites 2 of 3 territories back again (Wallachia and Moldova) in 1859 and then, for the first time in history, Romania will have a Constitution , in 1866, under the reign of Charles the 1st of Romania. The modern ROMANIAN STATE was established in 1918, 1st of December, after the First World War, when Transilvania (subdued until then to the Austro-Hungarian Empire) was declared an independent region (and so called Basarabia, the Moldova beyond Prut river). It was the time that the three main regions united and ROMANIA WAS RECOGNIZED AS ONE INDEPENDENT STATE🟦🟨🟥 ruled by a monarch and his Parliament, then, in 1965 by a communist Dictator (Nicolae Ceausescu), and after the 1989 Revolution, by democratic presidents. So, we, as Romanians had to fight a lot for safekeeping our country borders and to preserve our ethnic legacy, despite the empires, tribes and rulers that we had to fight against. We are located in a most strategic point across Europe and this was the main reason some of the countries battled for gaining access to our land resources and serving our geo-political status as a shelter against other peoples.

The name of the Apuseni mountains actually means 'Sunset-ies' or something like that. 'Apus' in Romanian means sunset, 'Apuseni' are 'those that are at the sunset'. Sunset is at west *AND 'apus' is synonym with west* indeed, but the word means *in its genesis* the sun action not the geographical direction. Thanks for the presentation!
Thanks to BND, Wallachia, Cristi Vidrascu for insisting on the fact that 'apus' and 'vest' are otherwise synonyms for those who didn't already knew that and thanks Ana Munteanu for pointing where my translation failed to do proper justice.
Mai corect ar fi 'Western'

False! In the traditional Romanian speech (where the name of the mountains derives from), Apus means "West".
The modern Romanian words "Vest" and "occident" are neologisms, so "Munții Apuseni" always meant "Western Mountains", IT INDICATES GEOGRAPHICAL DIRECTION!
Even today we have things such as the "Autostrada răsăritului" (Sunrise Highway/Eastern Highway).
There's even "miazăzi" (midday/South) and "miazănoapte" (midnight/North)

@@wallachia4797 Asta am zis și eu
@@wallachia4797 I'm not from Bucharest darling. I know geographical directions, I know what the word means. I was talking about something deeper than that - how the word is actually composed. I'm not gonna argue over it, we're both(all) right, thanks for your explanation, together it will help someone that actually does not know romanian understand better how these words are composed and used in our language. I, myself, use 'rasarit' and 'apus' more often than 'est' and 'vest'(almost not at all miazazi and miazanoapte-but seldom) to point directions. And almost all the time when I speak about sunrise or sunset. Peace!

Then the fascists really came in power and the primary solution of the Marshall Antonescu was to get back the eastern parts( Basarabia and Bucovina) from the russians by helping the nazis in their 1941 invasion of USSR. The outcome was in the end that we got back Transilvania not Moldova and had ''the poisoned blessing'' of 42 years of communism.

One correction though…
Ioan does NOT start with a lowercase L, but an uppercase i. Its pronunciation would be more like Yoan. It's the Romanian form of the Italian name Giovanni.
Or the english John
or germanic Joan/Johan
it is much closer to slavic Ivan than italian Giovanni, the difference between Ivan and Ioan is pretty much the same as Dumitru and Dimitri
Eeowann is literally what it sounds like in Hebrew, where this name originates.
Or Juan...

I've been to Romania twice. My biggest travel regret EVER, is that I didn't drive further into the country from Timisoara, to visit the Dracula castle in Bran. It's over 400 km each way which is why I decided against it, but damn I regret not doing it.
I've also been to Constanta, I took a day trip up there when on vacation in Golden Sands, Bulgaria. Beautiful old square on the top of the hill (by the cathedral), but the rest of it wasn't much to talk about. Quite a lot of old buildings that are simply falling apart with no one doing anything about it.
One of the best informational videos about my country out there.
From someone from outside you are very accurate I subscribe you cuz of this !!
so I'm going to address this because I see a few romanians attempting to correct the thing about Vlad. Dracul, back in those times, did mean dragon. Vlad's dad ( also Vlad ) was given the title Dracul from the order of the dragon ( from Ladislav of Hungary, although I'm definitely spelling that wrong ), making Vlad the Impaler "son of the dragon". In time, the meaning of dracul became "devil", but that's a more modern interpretation of the word.
also, we don't really have the word "moldavian". we call the region of romania that in English is Moldovia as Moldova , and the country of Moldova simply as rep of Moldova ( or Bessarabia ). I won't go in the historical context of why the Republic of Moldova is a separate country, but mainly is has to do with Stalin being a prick.
Actually the meaning of drac comes from Latin and the meaning of it is not only dragon. Bad spirit, imaginary entity, wicked, lucifer, snake, and also dragon. But the main description of it we can say is "the devil".
Actually Moldova was Moldavia but that was changed during the 1800s
Well done, great video. Some of the pronunciations are not quite correct but i appreciate the effort. 👍

hi nice video im from here and i learned a lot from you thx for picking romania
🙌😁
Great video bro 🥰👍. Only mistake would be that only in Romania is true Moldova and not " Moldavia " . Rep of Moldova is romanian state and can share the name Moldova, but the main heart of historical Moldova is in Romania and we cant call it " Moldavia " .But except this your video was exception 👍👍👍👍🤝🤝
I am proud of my country
Very cool country and People, thanks for the vid
Excelent presentation!
🙏😁
I am romanian. In fact, i was born and raised in Iași (the only romanian word you pronounced it almost correctly). Vlad Dracul was the father of Vlad the Impaler, that is true, but "Dracul" doesn't translate into "dragon" but into "devil", literally. Also, "Dracula" in romanian is a term closer to "devil" than a name, maybe closer to "The devil" or "the one devil" than just "devil".
Nope! this is wrong: "Datorită apartenenței sale la Ordinul Dragonului, tatăl lui Vlad Țepeș era supranumit Dracul, după numele latin al Ordinului Dragonului (Draco)." EN: "Due to his membership in the Order of the Dragon, Vlad Țepeș's father was nicknamed Draco, after the Latin name of the Order of the Dragon (Draco)."
A report produced in a professional manner, in which the main important historical, cultural and economic elements of Romania are highlighted, leaving aside the pronunciation of Romanian words that were done in a deficient way (it was understandable). I can declare myself satisfied with this succinct but very objective presentation of Romania.👌👍
Yeah, I really enjoyed it as well.
these edits are over the top ! may i ask on where your get your editing resources ?
Pretty good image choices btw 💅

Gheorghe HAGI 10 !!!❤️🇷🇴❤️
I spent 3 months in Romania in 2022. It's a very beautiful country with lots of great food. The people are very nice and friendly too. Craziest drivers I've ever seen though
Ty for this beautiful video about our beautiful country Romania!
Gigabats haha, that one had me giggling, salut from Romania.

O fi considerat "minoritar"....dupa nume😏!
Sounds like he's one of the Serbs that you forcefully assimilated in the 20th century
In Romania no-one was "forced assimilated" but a lot of jews are having foreign names to cover a non romanian identity because they prefer to look like being just a few even if they are controlling all the social, political and economic important positions. My comment was short for the people who all ready know what I meant. Otherwise we are very proud for his achievements and his exemplary education attitude and behaviour. Many of them are "more romanian" than the romanians.

04:54 - I dare to contradict you: it peaks frequently at 37 degrees Celsius, sometimes even going over 40 in summer. This is especially true for the plains in the western and southern part of our country (Romanian here).
Congrats for your hard work, really well explained. 🤗🎊 Only one thing to underline, at min 8:56, you've mentioned "《dracul》, meaning 《dragon》". It actually means "the devil". Keep up with your videos! 🥂
Learn you history, back in those times, did mean dragon
Your last words : "we just scratched the surface" ... you got that right :) There are a lot more detailed stuff to cover but at least you did not said bad things about us or our country, for that I thank you.
Gigabats! You are funny! Great job!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice video.
🙌😁
im from romania and i fell very left out so this made my day
8:54 the name of Vlad Dracul, the father of Vlad Țepeș means “Devil”, not “Dragon” 😃
Great video!
Actually in that time drac did mean dragon. It is more commonly now used with the meaning of devil. Just look it up.
Drac e doar denumirea in romaneste a cuvantului dragon.
Dracul este de la ordinul Dragonului.Desi nu se poate dovedi ca a fost un membru a acestui ordin înființat de Sigismund al Ungariei si rege al Germaniei,oamenii din acele timpuri ii spunea Vlad Dracul (dracu in acele vremuri insemnand dragon, nu diavol),datorita apartenentei lui la ordin,el fiind denumit dupa apartenenta lui ca si cavaler.
03:36 is Hungarian footage
blasphemy
Thanks for filming my neighborhood twice and my actual flat twice :D Great coverage, only minor inaccuracies and one "uncommon" stem about bats&Dracula, mostly hollywoodian gibberish that took a strange turn for our image abroad in the last 31-ish years (gee, thanks, Bram StRoker).
I am happy to hear somone talk about Romania
3:35 This is a large market place in Budapest (Hungary) not Bukurest if that was the intension...
The images shown at 3:35 are from the Great Market Hall in Budapest
Tényleg! Azt a kurva : D
Really nice video,but i would like to point out that ‘Dracul’ doesnt mean Dragon,but Devil
fun fact: temperatures in the summer in romania peak at around 46 degrees celsius
Great video! I'm glad you mentioned that Romania is a Latin country, although nowadays it is mostly associated with Slavic countries. Our language is definitely related to both parties.
