romanian slang? - i know a few like marfă, mişto, naşpă.. It'd be greatly appreciated if I could know more. thanks :)

- What's marfă and naşpă? :P Încă nu ştiu nimic... You're probably the one who taught me what mişto means.

I just read that "eggs" in Romanian is the equivalent to "balls" in English. :P Deci... un ou sau două... oua. :P

Îmi pare rău, this is probably not good slang to discuss!

Gotta go now...

- 1. "marfă" is something very good. It means normally "merchandise", things that one sells, and it's probably an abridged form from "marfă de bună calitate", i.e "good quality merchandise", in other words "good stuff".

2. "naşpa" and it's equivalent (also slang) "nasol" means something bad (a thing, a situation). I think it comes from some gypsy words but I am not sure.

What about... - "Beton" or "bestial"? For those of you who don't know, they are the equivalent of "marfă". With the only difference that "bestial" is a stronger remark than the previous 2. It would be like the difference between...let's say "cool" and "tremendous" (more or less).

Bestial - Very few know that "bestial" (awesome) is different from "bestial" (related to beasts). The first one doesn't come from "bestie" (beast), but from the English "best", so "best-ial". It sounds funny because of the ressemblance to the other "bestial".

- Băi, să-mi moară nevasta, dar prea îmi place chestia asta. E bestială treaba... e supermiştofaină.

Exemplu de slang... :)

- i guess it means smth like:
i'll be damned but i like this thing much
but literally, instead of 'ill be damned' here is
'for my wife to die'

- i think this forum got off topic, but i think it should be started up again, because slang is a big part of a language.

- "Să-mi trag nervii" means "To haul my nerves"

This is sometime used when you saw something very cool. It's like saying "Oh My God!" :D

- "Sa-mi trag nervii?"... *laughs histerically I never heard about this slang expression before but I will surely remember it. :) Romanian can be a very inventive language.
