Mulțumesc

The most common way to say thank you in Romania is Mulțumesc which literally means thank you. So, whichever part of Romania you find yourself, saying mulțumesc means thank you and is understood by every Romanian.

What makes mulțumesc the best option is that it can be used in formal and informal situations, which means you don’t have to worry about offending anyone if you say Mulțumesc. Also, unlike other thank you phrases, both the old and young generations understand Mulțumesc. So, if you are traveling to Romania for the first them, I will suggest you use Mulțumesc in every situation. Besides, it has easy pronunciation.

Mulțumesc mult

If you are greatly pleased by the kind gesture you just received, you can take it a step further and say Mulțumesc mult, which means thank you a lot or thank you so much. Mult means a lot or much, so it can mean both phrases.

Mulțumesc foarte mult

Foarte means very and adding it to Mulțumesc foarte mult means thank you very much. You can use this phrase when you are genuinely thankful for the act of kindness you just received.

Mulțumesc frumos

Another beautiful phrase I really love is Mulțumesc frumos which means thank you beautifully. While this may sound awkward in English or any other language, it is acceptable in Romanian, so feel free to say the thank you phrase any time.

Mersi

You may be wondering why a french word suddenly appeared in a Romanian article, but Merci is also widely used in Romanian. Don’t be surprised when you hear Romanian saying Merci with the Romanian intonation. In fact, you can say mersi mult or merci frumos. It is generally acceptable too. However, in a formal setting, we will advise you to rather stick with Mulțumesc rather than mersi. This is because a lot of people have different views and may find using mersi strange, and maybe offensive in a business setting.
