Valeria Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I love all the German words with the suffix "-chen" like: Maedchen (girl) Broetchen (sandwich) Maerchen (tale) It sounds so beautifully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyprus had a song with this title in Eurovision! Expand I like the Romanian equivalent of this, așa și așa. Just like the sound of it. A Romanian word I find funny is dușman which means 'enemy'. It's pronounced 'douche man'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
