A Night Out

Hitting the Town

For a night out, you will likely head to a bar (barul) or a club (clubul).

The boy is waiting for you at the bar.
Băiatul te așteaptă la bar.
The girls went to the new club.
Fetele au mers la clubul nou.

At the bar, you'll order from the bartender (barmanul), perhaps trying a cocktail (cocktailul).

The bartender prepared some drinks for us.
Barmanul ne-a pregătit niște băuturi.
I would like the house cocktail, please.
Aș dori cocktailul casei, vă rog.

Clinking Glasses and the Dance Floor

When your drinks arrive, it's time to toast with the verb a ciocni (to clink glasses).

Let's toast to our friendship!
Hai să ciocnim pentru prietenia noastră!

Then you can head to the dance floor (ringul de dans).

Elena is already on the dance floor.
Elena este deja pe ringul de dans.

The Morning After

If you drink too fast, you might get drunk (a se îmbăta).

If you drink so fast, you will get drunk.
Dacă bei atât de repede, o să te îmbeți.

Describe someone's state with adjectives like beat (drunk), treaz (sober), or mahmur (hungover). Like all adjectives, these agree in gender and number with the person described. For a female, beat becomes beată and mahmur becomes mahmură.

A drunk woman fell asleep on the sofa.
O femeie beată a adormit pe canapea.
Fortunately, our driver is sober.
Din fericire, șoferul nostru este treaz.
My sister is very hungover today.
Sora mea este foarte mahmură azi.
