"Pomana" derives from "a pomeni" which means in the context "to remember", "to speak about". So you feed others to remember and speak good about the deceased. With respect to digitalization, I think we will be fast adapters (already a lot of things can be done online such as taxes of all kind), because we just adopted the law regarding the digitalization of notarial activities and we are heading with full speed towards the full digital ID like the Baltics (we are already issuing ID cards with full digital ID). So my expectation is that in 5 years, we will have a full range of digital services and public authorities interaction regulated and functional. Keep up the good work.
Yes, we are improving everything here. The section of motorway from Craiova to Pitesti will be open before Christmas so infrastructure is also improving.
@livinginromania I wasn't talking about personal grievances, more like a general observation... otherwise, Romania isn't what it used to be either - going down the hill.... Oh well. Good luck
@@octavialupu939 Mine was also a general observation. UK has declined post Brexit because we voted to set tariffs against our economy and to stop freedom of movement. I am more optimistic about Romania where infrastructure is improving and a digital economy is being developed.
Murături (pickled/fermented vegetables in brine) is the traditional way to get your vitamins/vegetables during winter. Also, Zacuscă... So good, and also so very eastern European ..... I absolutely cannot stand pickled stuff in vinegar and sugar as is customarily done in Germany and other western European countries BTW i love the Korean variant of spicy varză murată namely Kimchi
Fun fact, "zacuscă" is a specific food here in Romania but in Bulgarian the word means simply "food". I burst in laughs when I saw, while I was in Bulgaria, an inscription "Bârza Zakuska" (obviously in Cyrillic letters) - meaning "Fast Food ".
@@dragos5039i know. I think the meaning is more like snack. BTW here in Germany the best ready-made Zacusca i found ( for my tastebuds) is a Bulgarian product from a Bulgarian company called Deroni and they label it as Zacusca..... (Romanian style).... there is also a very similar Bulgarian concoction from the same company called Lutenitsa - but that ia too sweet for my taste. An some ajvar varieties are also similar but don't come close to Zacusca as far as taste is concerned IMHO
@@corpi8784 You are probably right about meaning "snack", I just made a presumption based on my limited knowledge of Bulgarian words. I grew up in Bucharest watching Bulgarian television before 1989 and I know some words here and there (and how to read Cyrillic), enough to derive some approximate meaning.
You speak very good Romanian, i am quite amazed. i am Romanian living abroad and i don't know why this tradition to pickle stuff. in communism though it was quite useful but i think is way before communism.
@@Robocop-qe7le Subsistence farming. How would a farmer in 17th, 18th or 19th Romania survive the winter without pickled food from the beci!? It was the source of vitamins. The beci (from potatoes to wine to țuică to murături to sausages and other smoked meats to zacuscă etc was the fridge before the fridge and the food stuff reserve in rural old Romania before electrification)
You have to understand that regarding weeding, tradition, celebrations and behavior we can be quite different from a region to another one. A wedding, a religious holiday it is celebrated different between for example: Maramureș, Moldova / Bucovina , Banat, Crișana , Ardeal , Dobrogea, Muntenia și Oltenia . Moldovenii vorbesc mai repede și sunt ,, dintr o bucată ,, în schimb ardelenii și maramureșenii sunt lenți în vorbă, exprimare 😉😁. Regarding the romanian language , even if the people will speak in english with you, by speaking only english in Romania after 5 years with a Romanian wife/ family first of all wil give the impression that you are not making the effort, you do want / whatever …into Romanian society , secondly you will not be able to fully understand Romanians way of thinking, the culture , ,, the subs,, Many expressions, words , contextual language will give a meaning only if you know romanian. Thanks for the video 👌👏✊😊
Thank you for talking soo polite about Romania 🇷🇴 ❤
God bless 🙌 🙏
It's easy to be politie about a country that I have grown to love. I feel totally at home here.

I believe you.. haven't met any British or American expat anywhere in the world who'd miss their homelands for a second...Weird, isn't it?
I don't know about the USA, but the UK feels like a foreign country when ever I return. It went down the plughole after Brexit.

@livinginromania well, it's a good thing an optimist like yourself joined in ... 🤞
Slightly off topic ~but we are getting closer to Christmas/Crăciun and there is the more joyous Pomană event namely tne Pomană Porcului.....

hrană e hrana în bulgară
@@corpi8784 we like fermenting stuff don’t we? That’s why we have tuica lol. Any fermentable stuff = tuica
