I thought Romanians were Slavs.

Romanian is quite close to vulgar Latin, what do you mean by that?
Xavier Nguyen
Vulgar latin, Balkan sprachbund, and slavic loanwords

I mean compared to Modern Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese it’s kinda different.
Ian Fisher

It's isolated from other Latin languages, resulting in different influences. The core latin element was kept unchanged ever since the formation of our people, meaning the changes that occurred in Western Europe are not present in our language. As a result of that, 77% of Romanian is similar to Latin, from a lexical point of view (sauce ethnologue.com

differnet path
"cor meum" in latin is heart which gives italian "cuore", spanish "corazon", portuguese "coracao"
but in romanian heart is "inima" which comes from latin "anima" (to animate)
many such cases

Are you guys teached spanish in school? Here majority of schools only teach english
Andrew King

Nathan Perez

Jayden Wood

Luis Gonzalez
anima became "alma" in portuguese and spanish and means soul
Andrew Baker
Back in my school spanish and english was mandatory and only french was optional

Adam Hill
In here the word for soul (suflet) comes from the latin word for breath, I believe
Even with the slavic words we've taken, we seem to have turned metaphors into terms
Jackson Butler
most slavic loanwords are used for emotions, weather and housekeeping
also pussy (pizda) is slavic but dick (pula) is latin
which means slavs got cucked
Luis Powell
funny. dick is "pila" in portuguese and it doesnt appear in spanish
Colton Adams
