Dumneavoastră vorbiți româna?

The Romanian language is quite interesting.  We have been studying it for a while now, first in formal classes and now on our own. We are understanding a lot of what is spoken, but not everything, and we speak very little.
There are some things about Romanian that make it easy for us.  It is a Latin-based so there are a lot of words that are the same or close to their English versions (super=super) and many facets of the grammar are familiar (Word order does not vary a lot from the English word order).  Knowing Hungarian has helped us some since there are a few words that are taken from that language as well (The word for work is munka in Hungarian and muncă in Romanian).
Some things are taking a while to get used to, though.  Adjectives usually come after the noun like in Spanish. Also like Spanish, all nouns have a gender--they are either masculine, feminine or neuter. (Băiat frumos=beautiful boy and fată frumoasă=beautiful girl) What is completely new to us is that the definite article (the) is attached to the end of the word and agrees with its gender and number. (Băiatul=the boy and fata=the girl, băieții=the boys and fetele=the girls) And that is just the beginning of what we are learning.
All this to say, please continue to pray for us as we study the Romanian language.  We are very happy that we are learning, but we have along way to go to be able to communicate as we would like to.
O zi bună! (Have a good day!)
Oh, the title of the blog is Romanian for "Do you speak Romanian?"  Dumneavoastră is the polite form of you used when speaking to strangers or superiors.
