Dating Apps

1. Profilul tău este interesant

   pro-FI-lul tuh ES-te in-te-re-SANT

   Your profile is interesting

   Usage

   Expressing interest in someone's dating profile

   Grammar Note

   "profilul" is masculine. Possessive "tău" (masculine) is used. "ta" would be used for feminine nouns.

2. Vrei să ne întâlnim?

   VREI suh ne uhn-tuhl-NIM

   Would you like to meet up?

   Usage

   Suggesting to meet in person after connecting online

   Grammar Note

   "a se întâlni" (to meet) is a reflexive verb. "ne întâlnim" = "we meet each other".

3. Ce îți place să faci în timpul liber?

   che UHTS PLA-che suh FACH uhn TIM-pul LI-ber

   What do you like to do in your free time?

   Usage

   Getting to know a match's hobbies and interests

   Grammar Note

   "îți place" uses dative construction: "it pleases to you". Standard Romanian pattern for expressing likes.

4. Fotografiile tale sunt uimitoare

   fo-to-gra-FI-i-le TA-le sunt u-i-mi-TOA-re

   Your photos are amazing

   Usage

   Complimenting someone's photos on a dating profile

   Grammar Note

   "tale" is the plural of "ta" (your, with feminine nouns). "fotografiile" is plural definite of "fotografie".

5. Unde locuiești?

   UN-de lo-cu-IESHTI

   Where do you live?

   Usage

   Asking a match where they are based

   Grammar Note

   "a locui" (to live/reside) from Latin "locare" (to place). "locuiești" is the 2nd person singular present.

6. Ești o persoană interesantă

   eshti o per-SOA-nuh in-te-re-SAN-tuh

   You are an interesting person

   Usage

   Expressing that you find someone interesting and engaging

   Grammar Note

   "persoană" (person) is feminine, so "interesantă" is feminine form. Even for male subjects, "persoană" stays feminine.

7. Îmi dai numărul tău de telefon?

   UHM-i dai nu-MUH-rul tuh de te-le-FON

   Will you give me your phone number?

   Usage

   Asking to exchange phone numbers to move off the app

   Grammar Note

   "Îmi dai" = dative pronoun "Îmi" (to me) + "dai" (you give). Present tense used to express future request.

8. Suntem compatibili, cred

   SUN-tem com-pa-TI-bi-li KRED

   I think we are compatible

   Usage

   Expressing that you feel you are a good match

   Grammar Note

   "cred" placed at the end softens the statement. From Latin "credere" (to believe) — same root as English "credit/creed".

9. Ce muzică asculți?

   che mu-ZI-kuh as-KULTI

   What music do you listen to?

   Usage

   Getting to know a match's music taste

   Grammar Note

   "muzică" from Latin "musica" from Greek "mousikē". Same etymological root as English "music".

10. Caut o relație serioasă

    I am looking for a serious relationship

    Usage

    Expressing in a profile or conversation that you want a serious relationship

    Grammar Note

    "Caut" is the 1st person singular present of "a căuta" (to look for). Natural for profile descriptions; "serioasă" agrees with the feminine noun "relație".
