Today’s article intends to be for once more educative. By trying to be your private Romanian teacher, we will deliver a small Romanian lesson which will have to do with the human body. OK, we know that it’s very important to take care of our body (and mind), but why?
One thing is because it gives us energy which helps to focus and to accomplish our goals, or at least most of them. How often phrases like ‘’start diet and exercise to lose weight’’, ‘’quit smoking’’ and ‘’eat healthy’’ respond to reality? Well, the answer is ALWAYS! As we said, when we take care of our bodies, we increase energy levels which makes us more capable of accomplishing our daily targets in our work, in our personal life, in our relationships with the others and so on. As more energy we have, the easiest it gets to concentrate on our tasks and the as more we concentrate, the faster we finish them!
energy = energie
concentration = concentraţie
exercise = exercițiu
Another reason is, by taking care of our bodies, makes us being more pride of ourselves, makes us feel beautiful and gives us more self-confidence and also forces us -in a way- to appreciate ourselves.
pride = mândrie
self-confidence = încredere în sine
self-esteem = stimă de sine.
Moving on and enhancing the previous point a little bit more, it is important to add here that, how we feel physically plays a very significant role in how we feel emotionally. It is proved that stress, anxiety and even depression can be caused by physical illness.
physically = fizic
mentally = mintal
importantly = important
depression = depresie
anxiety = anxietate
According to various researches, our brains benefit from receiving proper nutrients. As it was mentioned above, a higher level of concentration can be achieved by simply approving our self care. How? By ‘’feeding’’ our brain with the proper vitamins and minerals which will result in an increase of our intelligence, will improve our memories and on the contrary, it will decrease depression levels.
brain = creier
nutrients = nutrienți
vitamins = vitamine
minerals = minerale
increase = crește
decrease = scădea
intelligence = inteligență
Now it is time to get to work. Some Romanian for foreigners who would like to know how words which have to do with our body are called in Romanian language. Starting from the top of the body we have:
head = cap
forehead = frunte
hair = păr
ear = ureche
eye = ochi
eyebrow = sprânceană
cheek = obraz
nose = nas
tooth = dinte
mouth = gură
lips = buze
chin = bărbie
As we are going to the middle part of our bodies, we have:
neck = gât
shoulder = umăr
back = spate
breast = piept
arm = braț
elbow = cot
stomach = belly
hand = mână
palm = palmă
finger = deget
nail = unghie
And the last part, the lower body:
knee = genunchi
leg = picior
paw = labă
heel = călcâi
Finally, let’s do some endoscopy and check out some words of some important organs of the human body:
heart = inimă
lungs = plămâni
liver = ficat
kidney = rinichi
We trust that the next time you will go to the doctor (may this never happen), in case you are in Romania, you will know a little bit better how to describe your issue to him!
