Unlocking and Swiping

When you pick up your smartphone, the first thing you need to do is unlock (a debloca) it.

I unlocked the phone, but I did not see the message.
Am deblocat telefonul, dar nu am văzut mesajul.

To navigate between menus or applications, you will often swipe (a glisa) left (în stânga) or right (în dreapta).

The man swiped right and opened the application.
Bărbatul a glisat în dreapta și a deschis aplicația.

Adjusting Settings

A common setting you might need to change is the screen brightness (luminozitatea).

I reduced the brightness of this screen.
Am redus luminozitatea acestui ecran.

You will also frequently enable (a activa) or disable (a dezactiva) various features, such as your internet connection or a morning alarm.

Did you enable the internet connection?
Ați activat conexiunea la internet?
I disabled the alarm because I woke up early.
Am dezactivat alarma pentru că m-am trezit devreme.

When reading long web pages or messages, you have to scroll (a derula) to see the rest of the text.

I scroll the text to read it.
Derulez textul ca să îl citesc.

To open your favorite applications, you just need to tap the right icon (pictograma) on the display (afișajul).

Choose the blue icon!
Alege pictograma albastră!
The display is bright, I prefer it like this.
Afișajul este luminos, îl prefer așa.
