| beautiful in romanian language: Folkloric Aspects of the Romanian Imaginary and Myth Claudia Costin, 2018-07-27 This volume explores a selection of significant and topical elements from the vast amount of Romanian folkloric and mythological material. It sheds light on the mythical-ritualistic aspects of three complex calendar holydays (specifically The Lads of Brașov, Călușarii, and Sânzienele), whose ritualistic sequences, laden with mythical-symbolical reminiscences, were lost during the Communist period and are known today thanks to their spectacular features. Such aspects include demonic mythical beings (such as Iele, Rusalii, Știma Apei, The Woodwoman, and Strigoi) that define the collective imaginary; significant myths that have found their artistic expression in fairytales and legends; and the role of women in traditional Romanian society. |

| beautiful in romanian language: Romance Languages and Linguistic Theory 16 Irene Vogel, 2020-08-15 The chapters in this book represent the theme of “bridges” – bridging research approaches and directions across languages, methodologies and disciplines. Alongside descriptive and theoretical studies, the contributions present experimental studies addressing issues in syntax, phonetics-phonology and sociolinguistics. And alongside investigations of linguistic phenomena in standard Romance language varieties, other investigations address less well-known and studied, minority and endangered varieties (e.g., Quebec French, Brazilian Portuguese, Romanian, Galician, Catalan and Palenquero) from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives. Romance languages in contact with other languages and bilingualism, now also integral aspects of the field, are reflected in this volume as well, including less well-known cases of contemporary contact of Serbian with Romanian, and earlier contact of African languages with Spanish and Portuguese. This volume thus continues the decades long tradition of the Linguistic Symposium on Romance Languages of embracing cutting-edge developments in the field. |

| beautiful in romanian language: Introduction to Romania Gilad James, PhD, Romania is a country located in southeastern Europe with a population of around 19.5 million people. It is bordered by Ukraine to the north, Moldova to the northeast, Hungary to the west, Serbia to the southwest, and Bulgaria to the south. Romania's capital and largest city is Bucharest, which is also its political and cultural center. The country covers a total area of 238,391 square kilometers and is home to many natural wonders, including the Carpathian Mountains, the Danube Delta, and the Black Sea coast. Romania has a rich cultural heritage that dates back to prehistoric times, with notable influences from the Romans, Byzantines, Saxons, and Ottomans, among others. The country is known for its beautiful architecture, diverse cuisine, and lively folk traditions. Some of the country's most popular attractions include the medieval fortified city of Sighisoara, the castles of Dracula and Peles, the painted monasteries of Bucovina, and the Sphinx and Babele rock formations in the Bucegi Mountains. Despite its challenges with corruption and economic development, Romania is a fascinating and dynamic country that offers visitors a unique blend of old-world charm and modern appeal. |
| beautiful in romanian language: The Washingtons. Volume 5, Part 1 Justin Glenn, 2014-09-05 This is the fifth volume of Dr. Justin Glenn’s comprehensive history that traces the “Presidential line” of the Washingtons. Volume One began with the immigrant John Washington, who settled in Westmoreland Co., Va., in 1657, married Anne Pope, and became the great-grandfather of President George Washington. It continued the record of their descendants for a total of seven generations. Volume Two highlighted notable family members in the next eight generations of John and Anne Washington’s descendants, including such luminaries as General George S. Patton, the author Shelby Foote, and the actor Lee Marvin. Volume Three traced the ancestry of the early Virginia members of this “Presidential Branch” back in time to the aristocracy and nobility of England and continental Europe. Volume Four resumed the family history where Volume One ended, and it contained Generation Eight of the immigrant John Washington’s descendants. Volume Five now presents Generation Nine, including more than 10,000 descendants. Future volumes will trace generations ten through fifteen, making a total of over 63,000 descendants. Although structured in a genealogical format for the sake of clarity, this is no bare bones genealogy but a true family history with over 1,200 detailed biographical narratives. These in turn strive to convey the greatness of the family that produced not only The Father of His Country but many others, great and humble, who struggled to build that country. ADVANCE PRAISE “I am convinced that your work will be of wide interest to historians and academics as well as members of the Washington family itself. Although the surname Washington is perhaps the best known in American history and much has been written about the Washington family for well over a century, it is surprising that no comprehensive family history has been published. Justin M. Glenn’s The Washingtons: A Family History finally fills this void for the branch to which General and President George Washington belonged, identifying some 63,000 descendants. This is truly a family history, not a mere tabulation of names and dates, providing biographical accounts of many of the descendants of John Washington who settled in Westmoreland County, Virginia, in 1657. . . . Each individual section is followed by extensive listings of published and manuscript sources supporting the information presented and errors of identification in previous publications are commented upon as appropriate.” John Frederick Dorman, editor of The Virginia Genealogist (1957-2006) and author of Adventurers of Purse and Person “Decades of reviewing Civil War books have left me surprised and delighted when someone applies exhaustive diligence to a topic not readily accessible. Dr. Glenn surely meets that standard with the meticulous research that unveils the Washington family in gratifying detail—many of them Confederates of interest and importance.” Robert K. Krick, author of The Smoothbore Volley that Doomed the Confederacy and Stonewall Jackson at Cedar Mountain |
| beautiful in romanian language: Hungarian Language Contact Outside Hungary Anna Fenyvesi, 2005-06-09 In Communist times, it was impossible to do sociolinguistic work on Hungarian in contact with other languages. In the short period of time since the collapse of the Soviet bloc, Hungarian sociolinguists have certainly done their very best to catch up. This volume brings together the fruits of their work, some of which was hitherto only available in Hungarian. The reader will find a wealth of information on many bilingual communities involving Hungarian as a minority language. The communities covered in the book are located in countries neighboring Hungary (Austria, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania and Ukraine) as well as overseas (in Australia and the United States). Several of the chapters discuss material derived from the Sociolinguistics of Hungarian Outside Hungary project. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on how the language use of Hungarian minority speakers has been influenced by the majority or contact language, both on a sociolinguistic macro-level as well as on the micro-level. In the search for explanations, particular attention is given to typological aspects of language change under the conditions of language contact. |
| beautiful in romanian language: The Noun Phrase in Romance and Germanic Antonia Petronella Sleeman, Harry Perridon, 2011 One of the recurrent questions in historical linguistics is to what extent languages can borrow grammar from other languages. It seems for instance hardly likely that each 'average European' language developed a definite article all by itself, without any influence from neighbouring languages. It is, on the other hand, by no means clear what exactly was borrowed, since the way in which definiteness is expressed differs greatly among the various Germanic and Romance languages and dialects. One of the main aims of this volume is to shed some light on the question of what is similar and what is different in the structure of the noun phrase of the various Romance and Germanic languages and dialects, and what causes this similarity or difference. |

| beautiful in romanian language: The Romanian Orthodox Church and the Holocaust Ion Popa, 2017-09-11 “An important book” that delves into the role of religious authorities in Romania during the Holocaust, and the continuing effects today (Antisemitism Studies). In 1930, about 750,000 Jews called Romania home. At the end of World War II, approximately half of them survived. Only recently, after the fall of Communism, are details of the history of the Holocaust in Romania coming to light. Ion Popa explores this history by scrutinizing the role of the Romanian Orthodox Church from 1938 to the present day. Popa unveils and questions whitewashing myths that covered up the role of the church in supporting official antisemitic policies of the Romanian government. He analyzes the church’s relationship with the Jewish community in Romania, with Judaism, and with the state of Israel, as well as the extent to which the church recognizes its part in the persecution and destruction of Romanian Jews. Popa’s highly original analysis illuminates how the church responded to accusations regarding its involvement in the Holocaust, the part it played in buttressing the wall of Holocaust denial, and how Holocaust memory has been shaped in Romania today. |

| beautiful in romanian language: Exploring Language Variation, Diversity and Change Marinela Burada, Oana Tatu, Raluca Sinu, 2021-07-23 While communication is becoming increasingly multimodal, verbal language and its use in different communicative situations still hold centre-stage in many research circles. The articles in this book explore native and second languages from three vantage points: syntactic structure, their uses in professional settings, and second/foreign language pedagogy. Using different methods and methodologies, the contributions here draw on both theoretical and empirical data in order to investigate a series of language-internal and language-external factors that both account for the structural peculiarities of Romanian and English, and have a bearing on its translatability and learnability by students of English as a second language. Featuring the hands-on experience of teachers and learners in the Romanian context, this volume provides useful insights and illustrative examples of relevance to theorists and practitioners in language and communication-related fields. |
| beautiful in romanian language: Bidu Denis Daniel, 2022-11-03 Bidú Sayao was a renowned, world-famous opera singer in the midtwentieth century. In his meticulously researched biography Bidú Sayao: Passion and Determination, Denis Allan Daniel provides a fascinating insight into this Brazilian operatic star with never-before-revealed details about her life. It is stated that she was not pleased with any biography about her and therefore decided to write her autobiography but this never materialized. This book admirably supplies the definitive biography of this diminutive diva. The first chapter explains her family background in Rio de Janeiro and how and why she began having singing lessons. Chapter two deals with the exact date and place of Bidú's birth. Painstaking research eventually discovered a birth certificate to end any conjecture. The third chapter details her travels abroad, designed to perfect her singing voice and to gain the experience required of singing in operas. Chapter four concerns her early reviews and triumphs abroad. In 1936, she signs a contract with the Metropolitan Opera. However, when returning to Brazil, she is booed at the Theatro Municipal in Rio de Janeiro. Brazilians, at the time, liked their stars to remain in Brazil and not become Americanized. The fifth chapter illustrates the influence of Toscanini and how he supported her in gaining roles at the Met and how she won over the severe New York critics. Chapter six provides detailed accounts of some of these reviews. In Jussi Bjorling, the Swedish tenor, she found her perfect partner for several roles at the Met. The seventh chapter includes more reviews of this highly successful period. Returning to her private life, chapter eight provides an insight on her two marriages, both with older men, who resembled my father, helped me with my career and protected me. The ninth chapter deals with her resentments, grief, and disillusions. In Brazil, she was often unfairly describes as being unpatriotic. The actions taken by the authorities that so upset her are recorded in detail. Chapter ten concerns her postcareer struggles. In the span of three years, in the 1960s, she lost her second husband and her mother. I almost died with her. I think I did die a little. It was horrible. The worst time in my life. I had money but no happiness. I began to have heart problems, irregular heartbeats, palpitations and cold sweats. An interesting anecdote about the power of redemption closes the chapter. The eleventh chapter is about her love for Brazil and her pride of being Brazilian. She once said, I am a Brazilian from the bottom of my heart and it deeply offends me to hear that I am antipatriotic. The next chapter covers her vanity, distinctions, and honors. Bidú used whatever vanity she had for the benefit of her art. She felt and acted as a true star should feel and act. The distinctions and honors that she was awarded are listed chronologically. Chapter thirteen concerns her American citizenship even though she always maintained her Brazilian citizenship. The next chapter discusses her relationship with Villa-Lobos, whose Bachianas No. 5 was definitively performed by Bidú. This became the greatest world success of both of their careers. It became the best-selling record in the United States of America for two consecutive years. The fifteenth chapter relates her successful return to Rio to appear as the star of the Beija-Flor samba school parade, at the age of ninety-two! Her death two years later is described in the next chapter with a full description of her last will and testament. It ends with quotations by Bidú about her life and opera. In conclusion, the author explains how she had to overcome enormous obstacles and the basic limitation of a fine light soprano voice and that her exceptional human and professional qualities, as a leading star of the opera world, should never be forgotten. As one critic wrote, This was a voice such as one doesn't often hear in this world. Pure and effortless it ranged from a silver trickle to a golden torrent. Sometimes her voice soared to almost unbelievable heights and hung there--hung there like a skylark pouring its heart out in the sky. Finally, the addenda provide extensive details of reviews of Bidú's performances abroad, at the Theatro Municipal of Rio de Janeiro, operas sang by Bidú at the Met, at the San Francisco Opera, a bibliography, a comprehensive discography, and finally, a list of compositions by Villa-Lobos. This book, a labor of love by the author, is undoubtedly now the definitive biography of Bidú Sayao. Her life has finally been given the due attention it has always deserved. |

| beautiful in romanian language: Eastern Orthodoxy Illuminated by the Gospel Ivica StamenkoviA++, 2023-10-24 Eastern Orthodoxy illuminated by the Gospel is one of the greatest books ever written about the Orthodoxy. Reading the book Eastern Orthodoxy illuminated by the Gospel is like climbing a high mountain, where your visual field gets expanded with each step, discovering new and exciting details, and finally gives an exceptional panoramic view that evokes the strongest feelings! Each new line is like a new stair leading to a highest top, from where you can observe the whole Orthodoxy. Orthodoxy from God's perspective. Light of the glorious Gospel and Christ's teachings shines like the sun throughout this book, illuminating a complete profession of faith of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Sladjan Djuric Author of the book Only Scripture, Serbia I have never understood why Eastern Orthodox people practice or believe certain things. When I would ask, I would either get silence or a very confusing and superficial answer. Ivica's book made those mysterious things clear for the first time and helped me understand the essence and the roots of the Orthodox religion. Without exaggeration I think this is a first-class apologetic manual ever written. Everyone who is called to work with Orthodox believers should have this book because it can help them understand the people who practice Eastern Orthodoxy, and give them directions how to pray and preach the Gospel more efficiently (2. Corinthians 4:3-4, Ephesians 6:12).'' Jan Vareca Editor of a Christian e-magazine 'The trumpet of Zion', Serbia Eastern Orthodoxy has been largely unknown in the West, but in the recent years there has been a surge of interest, particularly among Christians of Protestant/Evangelical orientation, many of whom wish to find out more about this mystical expression of faith that captivates by its ancient charm and connection to the early church fathers. The book Eastern Orthodoxy Illuminated by the Gospel by Ivica Stamenkovic will unlock the mysteries of Eastern Orthodoxy for the Western readers. A native of Serbia, a country with a strong Eastern Orthodox majority, Ivica had the advantage of studying Eastern Orthodoxy at its source. The product of his studies is a volume that deserves to be called nothing less than a textbook on Eastern Orthodoxy and probably the first of its kind available in the English language. His clear, scholarly approach leaves no stones unturned. Needless to say, a study such as this one has been long overdue in the West. Even though scholarly, the book is by no means dry and is an enjoyable read, cover to cover. Alex Jovanovic Pastor of Mooretown Brethren in Christ Church Sandusky, Michigan, USA |

| beautiful in romanian language: Adriatic Allure Jane Golden, 2019-06-20 It has been a little over a year since Jeni abandoned her career as an attorney outside New Orleans to accompany her husband, Zach, to Romania. While he has been settling into his new role as a diplomat with the Department of Justice, she has been embracing all the excitement and fun of being a new American expat in Europe. But all that is about to change when her impulsive college-age niece, Candi, unexpectedly comes to stay with them. As soon as Candi arrives, the drama begins. The situation, although awkward, is manageable—until Candi disappears shortly after a young woman is found dead in a neighboring park. Against her husband’s advice, Jeni dons her amateur sleuthing cap and boards a yacht in the Adriatic in the middle of Yacht Week to delve into the seemingly sinister disappearance while following sketchy clues. But as she races against time to hopefully find and safely extract Candi from a potentially dangerous situation, Jeni has no idea if her plan will end in mutiny or, even worse, murder. Adriatic Allure shares the roily adventure of an American expat turned sleuth as she sets out on a fast-paced search to find her niece after she is lured into the murky waters of international yachting. |

| beautiful in romanian language: The lexeme in descriptive and theoretical morphology Olivier Bonami, Gilles Boyé , Georgette Dal , Hélène Giraudo , Fiammetta Namer , 2018 After being dominant during about a century since its invention by Baudouin de Courtenay at the end of the nineteenth century, morpheme is more and more replaced by lexeme in contemporary descriptive and theoretical morphology. The notion of a lexeme is usually associated with the work of P. H. Matthews (1972, 1974), who characterizes it as a lexical entity abstracting over individual inflected words. Over the last three decades, the lexeme has become a cornerstone of much work in both inflectional morphology and word formation (or, as it is increasingly been called, lexeme formation). The papers in the present volume take stock of the descriptive and theoretical usefulness of the lexeme, but also adress many of the challenges met by classical lexeme-based theories of morphology. |

Turcin A simple man and his wife, striving for the better, venture to leave the life that's not worth living in a communist country. The story as it unfolds is bittersweet, reflecting trying times as the family trades their country of birth for a better place. Leaving relatives and friends, G. Turcin and his wife and daughter faced the unknown while believing that all would end well. When they were weak, scared, and faced with the insurmountable, God seemed to have stepped in to carry them, providing the beacon of light to renew their hopes and put them back on track. Though life was not easy in the pursuit of happiness they found in America, Turcin's story shows that the sacrifices made were well worth it. |
| beautiful in romanian language: Stalin's Legacy in Romania Stefano Bottoni, 2018-05-29 This study explores the little-known history of the Hungarian Autonomous Region (HAR), a Soviet-style territorial autonomy that was granted in Romania on Stalin’s personal advice to the Hungarian Székely community in the summer of 1952. Since 1945, a complex mechanism of ethnic balance and power-sharing helped the Romanian Communist Party (RCP) to strengthen—with Soviet assistance—its political legitimacy among different national and social groups. The communist national policy followed an integrative approach toward most minority communities, with the relevant exception of Germans, who were declared collectively responsible for the German occupation and were denied political and even civil rights until 1948. The Hungarians of Transylvania were provided with full civil, political, cultural, and linguistic rights to encourage political integration. The ideological premises of the Hungarian Autonomous Region followed the Bolshevik pattern of territorial autonomy elaborated by Lenin and Stalin in the early 1920s. The Hungarians of Székely Land would become a “titular nationality” provided with extensive cultural rights. Yet, on the other hand, the Romanian central power used the region as an instrument of political and social integration for the Hungarian minority into the communist state. The management of ethnic conflicts increased the ability of the PCR to control the territory and, at the same time, provided the ruling party with a useful precedent for the far larger “nationalization” of the Romanian communist regime which, starting from the late 1950s, resulted in “ethnicized” communism, an aim achieved without making use of pre-war nationalist discourse. After the Hungarian revolution of 1956, repression affected a great number of Hungarian individuals accused of nationalism and irredentism. In 1960 the HAR also suffered territorial reshaping, its Hungarian-born political leadership being replaced by ethnic Romanian cadres. The decisive shift from a class dictatorship toward an ethnicized totalitarian regime was the product of the Gheorghiu-Dej era and, as such, it represented the logical outcome of a long-standing ideological fouling of Romanian communism and more traditional state-building ideologies. |
| beautiful in romanian language: The Mountains of Romania Janneke Klop, 2020-02-15 This guide describes 27 short treks of 2-6 days and 10 day walks in the mountains of Romania. Although there is a slight focus on Transylvania, most of the main massifs are included, with chapters covering the Mountains of Maramures, the Eastern Carpathians, the mountains around Brasov, the Fagara?, the region between the Olt and the Jiu, the Retezat, the mountains of Banat and the Apuseni. Also included is an ascent of Moldoveanu, Romania's highest peak at 2544m. There is a wealth of advice to help you plan your trip and organise the logistics of your walk or trek. Some routes avail of the network of mountain huts; others offer opportunities to camp in attractive wild locations. Overviews and a route summary table make it easy to choose an appropriate excursion. Each route includes clear description and mapping, as well as notes on accommodation and access (some can be accessed by public transport, although others require either pre-arranged pick-up or hitchhiking). There are fascinating insights into Romania's colourful culture and history and appendices containing hut listings, useful contacts and a helpful glossary. The graded routes are as varied as Romania's diverse landscapes. They take in rolling hills, craggy karst peaks, glacial lakes and Europe's last virgin forests, with other highlights including Transylvanian castles, wooden churches, the Piatra Craiului ridge and the spectacular Sapte Scari (Seven Ladders) and Turda Gorges. Historic towns such as the medieval towns of Brasov and Sibiu and the spa resort of Vatra Dornei offer easy access to the mountains; other routes visit remote villages that have changed little over the centuries, where self-sufficiency is still very much the way of life. All in all, the guide is a perfect companion to discovering the unspoilt beauty of Romania's enchanting mountain regions. |
