Nu putini suntem cei care ne-am jucat traducand, cuvant cu cuvant, expresii neaose romanesti in vreo limba straina, sau invers. Rezultatul e evident lipsit de noima pentru straini, dar extrem de haios, pentru noi!
- 1. Un roman nu este surprins (A Romanian is not “surprised”), ci i-a picat fata (his “face has fallen off”)
- 2. Un roman nu face atat de multe din foarte putin (A Romanian didn’t just “do so much with so little”), ci face din rahat bici (he “made a whip out of shit”)
- 3. Un roman nu se enerveaza (A Romanian won’t “lose temper”), ci ii sare mustarul (his “mustard will jump off”)
- 4. Un roman nu greseste (A Romanian hasn’t just “screwed up”), ci da cu mucii in fasole (he “threw his boogers in the beans” )
- 5. Un roman nu incearca sa te prosteasca ( A Romanian won’t “try to fool you”), ci te abureste…(he’ll “throw vapours at you”)
- 11. Un roman nu se crede un impostor (A Romanian will not have “the impostor syndrome”), ci se simte cu musca pe caciula (he will “feel with the fly on his cap”).
- 12. In Romania, ceva nu este foarte departe (In Romania, things are not “far away”), ci la mama naibii (they’re “at the devil’s mother").

- 14. Un roman nu -ti va spune sa nu mai pierzi vremea (A Romanian won’t tell you to stop “wasting time”), ci va spune ca freci menta (he’ll tell you to stop “rubbing the mint”)
- 15. Un roman nu iti va spune despre ceva ca e tare (A Romanian won’t say that something is “cool”), ci ca e beton (he’ll say it’s “concrete”).
- 16. Un roman nu este emotionat (A Romanian is not “nervous”), ci are un morcov in fund (he “has a carrot (in the ass)”
