Avem noroc azi.

Avem means we have. It is the 1st person plural present-tense form of the verb a avea (to have).

So:

• eu am = I have
• tu ai = you have
• el/ea are = he/she has
• noi avem = we have
• voi aveți = you all have
• ei/ele au = they have

In Avem noroc azi, the subject we is built into the verb, so Romanian does not need to say noi unless it wants extra emphasis.

Romanian often leaves out subject pronouns when the verb already makes the subject clear.

So both are possible:

• Avem noroc azi. = We’re lucky today / We have luck today.
• Noi avem noroc azi. = We have luck today, with extra emphasis on we

Using noi can sound more contrastive, like:

• Noi avem noroc azi, nu ei. = We’re lucky today, not them.

So the version without noi is completely normal.

Romanian commonly uses the expression a avea noroc, literally to have luck, to express the idea to be lucky.

So:

• Am noroc. = I’m lucky / I have luck
• Ai noroc. = You’re lucky
• Avem noroc azi. = We’re lucky today

English and Romanian simply package the idea differently. Romanian can also express related ideas in other ways, but a avea noroc is very common and natural.

Noroc means luck.

In this sentence, it is used as a noun:

• avem noroc = we have luck / we are lucky

A useful extra note: Noroc! can also be used as a toast, like Cheers!

So the word has a few common uses:

• Am noroc. = I’m lucky.
• Ce noroc! = What luck!
• Noroc! = Cheers!

Romanian often uses nouns without an article in general expressions, especially after certain verbs.

Here, a avea noroc is a fixed, very natural expression:

• am noroc
• ai noroc
• avem noroc

You would not normally say avem un noroc in this sentence if you just mean we’re lucky. That would sound different and more specific, as if referring to a certain kind of luck or some remarkable luck.

So:

• Avem noroc. = normal, idiomatic
• Avem un noroc... = more marked, like We have such luck... / What luck we have...

Azi means today.

Yes, azi and astăzi both mean today. In many situations, they are interchangeable.

• Avem noroc azi.
• Avem noroc astăzi.

Both are correct.
Generally:

• azi is a bit shorter and often feels slightly more everyday or conversational
• astăzi can feel a bit fuller or a bit more formal in some contexts

But in normal speech, both are very common.

Both word orders are possible.

• Avem noroc azi.
• Azi avem noroc.

The difference is mostly one of focus or emphasis:

• Avem noroc azi. puts the statement first, then adds today
• Azi avem noroc. highlights today more strongly, almost like Today, we’re lucky

Romanian word order is fairly flexible compared with English, especially for short sentences like this.

Yes. Avem is present tense, so the sentence is in the present.

Literally:

• Avem = we have
• noroc = luck
• azi = today

Natural English translations include:

• We’re lucky today.
• We have luck today. (more literal, less natural in English)

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation is:

ah-VEM no-ROK AH-zee

A few helpful notes:

• v sounds like English v
• e is usually like eh
• c at the end of noroc sounds like k
• z in azi sounds like English z

Stress:

• aVEM
• noROC
• Azi

Yes. Romanian allows some flexibility.

All of these can work, depending on emphasis and style:

• Avem noroc azi.
• Azi avem noroc.
• Avem azi noroc.

The most natural choices are usually:

• Avem noroc azi
• Azi avem noroc

The version Avem azi noroc is possible, but it may sound a little more marked or context-dependent.

Yes. That is a very good translation.

Depending on context, Avem noroc azi could be translated as:

• We’re lucky today
• We are fortunate today
• We have some luck today (more literal, less natural in English)

The exact English wording depends on tone, but We’re lucky today is usually the most natural everyday translation.

You only need to change the verb form:

• Am noroc azi. = I’m lucky today.
• Ai noroc azi. = You’re lucky today.
• Are noroc azi. = He/She is lucky today.
• Avem noroc azi. = We’re lucky today.
• Aveți noroc azi. = You all are lucky today.
• Au noroc azi. = They’re lucky today.

This is a good pattern to memorize: a avea + noroc

Yes. Avem noroc azi. is a complete, natural Romanian sentence.

It is short, but that is very normal in Romanian. Because the verb already tells you the subject (we), nothing else is required.

It could be used in situations like:

• finding a parking space
• getting good weather
• winning something
• escaping a problem

So it sounds natural both grammatically and in everyday speech.
