The US Ambassador to Romania, Kathleen Kavalec, and members of the embassy's team shared some of their favorite words in Romanian on the occasion of the Romanian Language Day, while employees of the French Embassy tried to pronounce an original phrase.The moments captured on video footage of the diplomats speaking Romanian were shared on the official Facebook pages of the two embassies.Among the favorite expressions of members of the US diplomatic mission team in Bucharest are "Vindeti castraveti gradinarului " (literal translation - Sell cucumbers to the gardener, meaning - con a con artist, editor's note), "o bagheta magica" (a magic wand) or "asa si asa" (so and so).

(That sheep is hers, I'll take it, editor's note). Do you think our diplomats can pronounce it correctly?" embassy representatives said on Facebook, showing a video showing attempts to pronounce these words.
