[reny306]

@UraniumMan Great Job Brother

[winterjanuary]

Numai respect pentru tine,prietene.

[carpati1]

When you try to learn a foreign language on your own,

the effort itself is paramount! That person should be praised

and appreciated for it’s efforts in stead of being crucified!

By you! The people that this language belong to: Romanians!

From Romania! Why? Why not help this guy anyway you can?

The reason I posted this in English instead of Romanian it’s

because I want to see how many of you put an effort to learn

English, as he does to learn Romanian!

[estilo741]

@MyBlackWill i could not stop laughing by reading your comment!!!! : D

[0785439]

Great performance! Perfect! :)

[ARMAND5779]

[Lovemrsbeyonce]

I am proud of you and I am a romanian.

[rymaly]

I'm so happy to see americans interested in romanian. Come to Romania!:)

[vincereee]

@rymaly Lasa-l frate acolo. il invatam de la distanta limba, cultura si istoria noastra. Vrei sa vina aici sa se scarbeasca de tot - uita si ceea ce a invatat daca vine aici. ;))))) Doar daca vrei sa il plimbi tu putin si sa-i arati partea frumoasa si nu mai mult de cateva zile - pe la Manastiri, in Delta, in Munti departe de civilizatia citadina sa nu ramana fara portofel sau masina in vreo groapa din asfalt inconjurat de conationalii binefacatori de prin Ferentari

[xfact9r]

[cuanamar]

[Capitandeplai]

@TonuMike

????

[Bambi5962]

I love this video even though I have no idea what your saying. You have a great voice, it's sexy!

[darthgeorgious]

Nice man... wich romanian bands do you like? 

[AG86FLS]

well done man RESPECT !

[somnuletz]

I think you're in the 0.000001% of americans that know where Romania is on the map and in the 0.00000000000001% americans that speak Romanian :))

[saintjoe14]

You are partially correct!! I've been living in Bucharest for a year and a half now, and represent the 9999999999999.99 % care pot vorbi nu Romanesc!!

But I do know where Romania is___" It's lost in the hearts and minds of millions of hard working people, who unfortunately are having their salaries and pensions hi-jacked from them, by a rather self serving government!!!! 850,000 euro for a logo??? What about offering scholarships to students to create a logo for 1/5 the cost ? da?

[DeathNest94]

BUNA SUNT AMERICAN DAR VORBESC PUTIN ROMANESTE . STIU CA CUVINTELE NU SUNT CORECTE . CIAO

[Capitandeplai]

Multumesc, UraniumMan!

A fost frumos. Te asteptam in Romania! :)

[UraniumMan]

@Capitandeplai Mulțumesc foarte mult! ;o) Poate întro zi voi fi in Romaniă!

[adyjap]

conjugarea in engleza este mai usoara

[sircaalin]

esti tare omule , pronunti bine doar accentul e cam amuzant:)) mai ales ca ai recitat o poezie destul de grea

[shadowblack1987]

#1 Put the drugs down.

#2 Put a shirt on.

#3 ???

#4 Profit.

[UraniumMan]

@shadowblack1987 WHAT?????

[ashlehmouse]

@shadowblack1987 Troll somewhere else. Youtube is the lowest place for trolling. Also, 4chan is gay. UraniumMan is cool.

[shadowblack1987]

@ashlehmouse You must be pretty stupid to not get it. 4chan? Who is talking about 4chan? And no, UraniumMan isn't cool, he is special.

Now go troll somewhere else kiddo. /Ignored.

[theturbomedia1]

@shadowblack1987 you are stupid !...shht, UraniumMan ---sounds very good. !

[brideinblack]

your pronounciation is very cute :))

But the interpretation is impressive and very touching, good work!

[mrkiky]

damn it must be hard for you native english speakers to learn other languages cause your language is so easy

[UraniumMan]

@mrkiky LOL Are you saying we are stupid, because English is the best most of us can manage to learn? :oP

[mrkiky]

@UraniumMan no I'm just saying you're used to an easy language. I mean, that's why it's internationally used , because it's easy to learn.

[chipmunx]

@mrkiky No, it's internationally used because of the high prestige it gained from being the dominant language of the British Empire, and of the United States. Latin wasn't the dominant language of Europe in the Middle Ages because it was easy to learn.

[mrkiky]

@chipmunx yes of course but it's also easy to learn. French would gain a little as an international language in Europe if it wasn't brain surgery compared to English.

Btw, my native language is romanian.Although hungarian is almost an unofficial second language here due the long time Transylvania was under the Austro-Hungarian Empire.Funny thing is people from hungarian families have 2 native languages while others don't even speak romanian even though they were born here and never left.

[shadowblack1987]

@UraniumMan Yes, i do beleive he means that.

[gt87pony]

@UraniumMan actually. english is the hardest language to learn.

[KnighT4890]

@UraniumMan i dont think he is saying that americans are stupid...what is he trying to say is that english is pretty easy to learn(for me at least) but romanian is a hard language to learn

[chipmunx]

@mrkiky Ease is relative, as well. Some people are more in-tune to learning other languages, some people are smart and get themselves totally immersed to learn a language. Some people choose a language that's really closely related to their own native language. What's your native language, for curiosity's sake?

[jolieisterrible]

mira-m-as sa vad un roman ca face ce face americanul asta..

tot respectul din partea noastra.

[amy051985]

imi place foarte mult cantecul asta, e foarte poetic! cum merge, romana, dan?

[dinel26]

HUH !!! WAHU-m man u kidding me but I like it  !!!!

[catadeluxe]

UraniumMan, you truly make Romanians proud. O, și să stii că totul în viață este util!

[cooostyk]

nice one....grea melodia.....the song is hard for you....i wnat to teach you if i can...do you have yahoo messenger?

[ljackkk]

Chiar mai impresionat :)

Nu stiu ce sa mai zic :| am ramas fara cuvinte

--------------------------

You really impressed me

I don't know what to say, I have no more words :|

[yumelife]

your voice matches the Romanian language...keep learning..

^_^

[faridjabba]

ist that a fragment of "FIction"?

[arcashas]

bravo omule !

[MsWarumono]

bravo man.continua si o sa ajungi sa o stapanesti

[alex9sep]

Bravo tie omule ai ajuns la nivelul urmator de vorbire si toate parerile de bine din partea mea

[Preidak]

Bravo omule !

Felicitari . De ce nu vi aici in Romania odata sa vizitezi?

[UraniumMan]

Întro zi domnule. Întro zi poate voi fi în Romania. ;o)

An nou fericit!

[andreeafromRo]

@UraniumMan Sper sa ajungi intr-un final in Romania

[UraniumMan]

Ințeleg bine, dar nu pot să răspunde pentru că numai știu niște limbă Română. ;o) Prima: Am știut o fată Româncă in orășul meu. Dar am placut tot limbii întotdeaună.. Pentru mine, Romanește e .... hmmm, I don't know a word, interesting, refreshing. You get the idea. ;o) Nu tot în viață trebuie să fia utilă. :o)

[SpiritCrusherrrr]

Cum poti sa spui ca nu este o limba utila?! A murit poporul respectiv, nu mai traiesc romanii, nu se vorbeste limba romana in nicio tara, sau cum?! /:) N-ai cum sa spui un lucru ca asta... inseamna ca esti, iarta-ma, retardat/a! UraniumMan, ai invatat un cuvant nou: "retardat" :>

[PsYychH0]

The intonations sound so refreshing. Great job.

[shantiliu]

Wonderful! U have talent! For an american, u speak romanian very well. I bow. This poem is very, very nice.

[fluflu06]

it's cute!

[fluflu06]

nu e retardat!

[UraniumMan]

Dacă tu să spuni așa, domnule. :oP

[zdumbi]

Pretty good ! :D

[MoRaRy92]

Zdob și zdub sunt dintr-un oraș cu mine :P

ești bravo!! cât știi tu românește, atât știu eu englezește.. :D

sper că ai înțeles ce am scris..

[Indubitabil02]

Nice, you came close to the Moldavian accent here:D

[ArminiusRO]

if you don't mind i would like to corect you a bit.when you wanna say "Hello everybody" it's toată lumea not toata lume.

you say "lume" only when you refer to the world,world=lume .everybody=toată lumea.

other than that you will have time to perfect yourself.

[awsomevids2u]

wdf r u saying u sound like a romanian person nice asent

[dantzy]

good job :)

[shobb1]

how come you want to learn romanian ? Salutare .

[selfhatredcreep]

i want to learn some romanian myself, can you suggest online ressources?

[UraniumMan]

Und fick dich auch. :oP

[UraniumMan]

Ohhh, well in that case, congratulations. You are the rudest Romanian I have ever heard from! That must be why you are in Germany, because Romania kicked your rude ass out! Acum.... taci din gură și du te la dracu! :oP

[dantzy]

ha ha ha ha i like this one :))))

[PreciousPingu]

TheBlueqt, esti un badaran prost.

[PreciousPingu]

TheBlueqt,analfabet cu singuranta nu-s. Oricum,sunt fata,si inteligenta mea este incontestabila.

Iar tu nu stii decat sa jignesti.

Ce treaba ai tu cu baiatul asta,fraiere? Mi se pare adorabil faptul ca incearca sa vorbeasca in romana.

Tu faci Romania de ras,cretinule!

[UraniumMan]

Wow, I am not sure what you said to that fool, but it seems extreme.. LOL He removed his comments; you must have scared him.. LOL

[PreciousPingu]

well yeah,I really know how to scare people. ))

[awsomevids2u]

@PreciousPingu wat did u say to him?

[adrianx26]

hallo

try eminescu .... poem luceafarul

[Korozzz]

:)))))

wanna try some russian ballade maybe ?:)

[AmurgAprins]

Thanks for the comments ,i wonder have you ever been to Romania ?My gf thought you live here , you got pretty good romanian accent .

[UraniumMan]

Actually, I have never been outside the US. lol I went to California once. lol I am often told I have a Russian accent because I roll my r's too much. :oP

[AmurgAprins]

Good Job ,best regards from Transilvania ,i watched your other videos you really do great for someone who's first language is English,i guess romanian can be pretty hard.

[rockon919]

Stiu ca cuvintele este nu corect.

Stiu ca nu este corect.

is not=nu este

Ciao=Pa,La revedere...Cius[Tschus] or servus.. like in latin.

[bogdanredlight]

aproape ca am inteles ce ai vorbit :))

[adyjap]

talent de actor

[gazettutze]

you're funny when you speak romanian....it seems you like....this language is not used in other countries as you know.....romania is a beautiful country but only to visit it.....and the language is difficult.....the most of romanians don't know to speak corectly.... believe me i live here...i don't wanna discourage you but i am a little amazed because you want to learn...go on :)

[Mar1vs]

actually, gazettutze, the romanian language is used as an official language in Romania, RP. Moldova and the autonomus province of Vojvodina (Serbia)...also, it's an official or administrative language in some international organizatons, as the European Union, or Latin Union...

[zigmund31]

Quite good for an american! Keep up the good work Dan! RECITI POEZIA FOARTE FRUMOS!

[rakettbbd]

great! keep up the good work.

thank you for learning my language/multumesc ca imi inveti limba

greetings from Romania

[commentsbyjss]

dud ur amazing

[camera31]

Ce limba grea avem:)))

[HippieTatka]

Curaj!!!

Toarna vodka=)))

Eh,nu i rau....

[simpsimpsimpson]

frate you sound like a russian :))

[deutschesmaedchen]

si tu in engleza suni russian :\ shaddap

[yoany1234]

We are puting the negation before de verg ;) it's : "Stiu ca cuvintele nu sunt toate corecte" But when you use "ca" and the next word begins with "ca" again that's what we call : cacofonie ; So, it's wrong. Try to avoid this ;)

Btw, practice more your accent. You are putting wrong the accent on the words.

And btw again, "Zdob si Zdub" it's pronounced like it's spelled.

[haohmaru12]

omfg this is awsome

[ralukka1]

Wow lol...but i wonder...what made you learn romanian??

[Erycantoaneta]

it was good but you might wanna try the more comercial songs to reproduce(with simpler language),trying to go for folk songs,balads etc its overstretching it in my opinion,as they have many complicated words,arhaic words,double meaning words etc.i'm not a linguist but that's my advice :). foarte bine,tot inainte!

[88delia88]

cum imi place sa dorm noapte in padure..hihiihi:))

[punkytus]

You deserve to have a Romanian citizenship for this recital.I am pleasantly surprised to see that you feel romanian.keep in touch!

[ReyMysterioRO]

omg u speak so good romanian!great job mate

[igm000]

Good work! The lyrics of this song are quite complicated and your pronunciation is accurate!

[romanianGirl90]

i really appreciate that u want to learn romanian!VERY GOOD START!congrats!keep it up!

[tecramos]

dude are you romanian or american? you speak very good romanian

[raluk1988]

good work, man ! keep it up ... it's hard for someone who has a germanic native language to learn a latin one ... bravo si sper sa te mai auzim ! mult noroc !

[Indubitabil88]

"Sunt American dar pot SA vorbesc putin Romaneste. Stiu ca cuvintele NU SUNT corectE" (corect=singular, corecte=plural). Mang you're awesome!!!

[ralou777]

wow...really touching!

You made it sound almost like an incantation:))5 stars from me for your romanian try!

And for the bad comments:ce-aveti,dragi romani?Cand cineva face un efort si incearca sa vorbeasca romaneste,macar din partea romanilor ar trebui sa primeasca ceva aprecieri(+)...

Peace!

[stakeee]

im just curios, what atracted you from romania?

[lithiumlinks]

wow...i have a questions ...you like romanian country?and the speake?

[Seneka4295]

Ha ha, you're awesome man. And your romanian is excelent... for an american ;-)

Regards.

[Seneka4295]

Oh and one more thing, Doina haiducului has to be one of my favorite songs ever. It has an amazing sound and incredible lyrics.

Keep up the good workk man.

[brotherlollypop]

care-i faza?

[UraniumMan]

Ce? lol Nu inteleg dvs..

[vraciudude]

"care-i faza?" "what's the catch?" or "what's up with this?"

[Iloathethissite]

GTFO and never come back

[UraniumMan]

I admit that I am a bit confused as to why someone FROM Romania would have such an attitude. You must be a really hateful person. I feel sorry for you.. Cred că ești o furios persoană. Noroc

[monellaccio67]

very nice ....complimenti

[jimmydemoney]

foarte dramatical

[toxicduck]

A couple of tips:

Roman Yagupov, the vocalist from Zdob&Zdub is not a native speaker of Romanian, and has a very thick Slavic accent when sings. In fact, when I interviewed him some years ago, he knew less Romanian than you do now and learned all lyrics phonetically. That's also the reason for some little grammatical mistakes, but Zdob&Zdub rule so nobody complains. Which brings me to your very very strange accent, at the same time Russian and American. It's very cool, keep up the good work.

[TheGodfatherVIC]

i know it's very hard for to learn a language of latin origine, but it's the effort that counts.

I try to perfect my english as well.

Keep it up!

[tnt4mind]

Very nice!!

Bravo omule!!! Respect!

[siraxi]

bravo si mult succes in continuare !

[dizudizudizu]

thats awesome!!!! :)5/5

[alexalin]

tare de tot,chiar tare,

[allcolyus]

foarte tare frate!

ai fost roman intr-o alta viata si asta nu-ti da pace...

[Antidenigrare]

As I've told you in the other video, the timbre of your voice is GREAT.

[eusuntandykordo]

wow... cool... good luck, and keep working ;)

[lol1ta22]

great job...and u choose a beautifull song from a very good band that i love - zdob si zdub

[flirh]

Buna treaba !

[usramx]

Keep on the good work, this is great

[UraniumMan]

Thanks man.. Multumesc.. One of these days I will get all the words correct and sing it on a video.. :oP

[anto475]

this is awful

stop trying to be Moldovan

and if it is'nt bad enough,

you put at the top ,,Read by American''

that's repelling

[UraniumMan]

I am not TRYING to be anything. I am speaking a language that I am learning. I said 'Read by American' because I am an American. By the way, what is 'repelling'? Maybe you should stop trying to be American. lol

[anto475]

repelling

it repels

[asc3asc]

Don't listen to such haters. He/She doesn't realize how hard it is to declaim a Romanian text filled with archaisms. BTW, keep up the good work, UraniumMan, your counting to ten was almost flawless.

[IsabellaIM]

song suits you, u look like a character from it
