Hi there! Are random silly lil questions ok? If so, can I ask about your thoughts on the Romanian language? How easy a time would you think you'd have learning it? Thanks so much!

Honestly, if fascinates me. Check out this history regarding its orthography. Wild! It fascinates me that it's the one Romance language to retain the neuter, and if you look only the spellings of words, it sure seems like you should know how to pronounce it, and then you hear O-Zone pronounce "Dragostea Din Tei" and realize that, nah, they've taken some real liberties over the centuries.

So, yeah, I'd love to learn Romanian some day. It seems fun. :)

Two prominent examples are Jeff Satur's "Dum Dum" and O-Zone's "Dragostea Din-Tei". Why is this such a common occurrence, and who makes these translation decisions in the long run? In this essay I will...

Sometimes I wish I could go back to that summer when O-Zone took Europe by storm with their album and Dragostea Din Tei was playing everywhere you went.

Are you even an european millennial if "Dragostea Din Tei" by O-Zone doesn't send you into manic overdrive?

It’s way past 2 am, and I have actually looked this song up and listened to it... Several times... Still catchy!

One day, I’ll be able to sing along. Day, not night...

Have a good... timezone!
