Playing: a juca șah
After a juca, a game or sport takes no article: joc șah, joc fotbal. With the article, șahul is chess as a thing you talk about.
| Grandpa plays chess in the park. | Bunicul joacă șah în parc. |
| Chess takes a lot of patience. | Șahul cere multă răbdare. |
On the stadium
Romanian puts you pe a stadium, not in it: pe stadion. The same preposition works for an event held there.
| We're going to the stadium for the match. | Mergem pe stadion la meci. |
| The concert is taking place at the stadium. | Concertul are loc pe stadion. |
Bands and singers
A formație is a band, and cântărețul is the singer (a woman is a cântăreață). Remember that a cânta covers both singing and playing: a cânta la chitară is to play the guitar.
| My son plays guitar in a band. | Fiul meu cântă la chitară într-o formație. |
| The singer has a beautiful voice. | Cântărețul are o voce frumoasă. |
Noise and company

| The kids are making a racket in the yard. | Copiii fac gălăgie în curte. |
| I can't sleep because of the racket. | Nu pot dormi din cauza gălăgiei. |
An amic is a friend. It is often used for a looser friendship than prieten: a pal, a buddy.
| I went to a concert with a buddy. | Am mers la concert cu un amic. |
| He's a pal from work. | E un amic de la serviciu. |
