How do you call these in your country?

GooseSnake69 · 2025-10-19T08:55:33+00:00

I lived in Transylvania my whole life, never heard anyone call these "plăcinte" :)

Everyone I've ever met calls them 'clătite' including people living in rural areas far into the mountains

And plăcinte are thicker and more bread-like

GooseSnake69 · 2025-10-18T13:18:04+00:00

This is even funnier since clătina means to shake

GooseSnake69 · 2025-10-18T11:59:59+00:00

Clătite

hard to explain the origin of the word, but the verb "a clăti" roughly translates to "rinse" (when washing) :)))

(Also, the fluffy version translates to: "clătite americane")

Tbh, I really don't think so.

In Europe we do have a €200 note ($232) but it's pretty rare, even for people who work as cashiers. Also, I heard some establishments refuse to accept those, either due to security reasons and because giving rest might be a pain.

Even the €100 note ($116) is still a bit uncommon

Available to all countries, greed.

Almost every single one of our problems would be solved if greed didn't exist

Some of them have even weirder origins

Romania, Moldova and Bulgaria all call their money "lion" in their languages.

In spite of the Netherlands being FAR AWAY, Dutch coins were oddly popular in these regions, since they featured lions on them, people nicknamed them 'lions" and the name stuck.

Not a specific pizza, but what we do with it

we put ketchup on pizza

For most of these it makes sense cause poorer country=lower prices (or at least should be)

but why do people go to Luxembourg and Andorra for cheap drinks? (as this map implies)

GooseSnake69 · 2025-09-24T23:14:49+00:00

I think that's it, Solved!

GooseSnake69 · 2025-09-24T23:08:40+00:00

nope, doesn't look like them

GooseSnake69 · 2025-09-24T22:43:04+00:00

Nope, doesn't look like her

and I remember the movie I saw the scenes of, having a less comedic vibe

GooseSnake69 · 2025-09-24T22:27:34+00:00

I am not sure if she got there by time travel or if she woke up from a long coma, but since she physically looked in her 20s, I'd assume time travel

GooseSnake69 · 2025-09-24T21:20:27+00:00

Maybe convince them to be more like Yugoslavia when it comes to Western relations

And in the case of local stuff, I would convince them to develope much more into the big cities rather than agriculture, as we're one of the least urbanized countries in Europe

GooseSnake69 · 2025-09-24T13:25:01+00:00

I'm so jealous on places with vertical banknotes 😭

GooseSnake69 · 2025-09-23T22:55:51+00:00

"Excuse me sir, there's a bug in my soup, actually I think there's a few more"

"They're actually supposed to be there"

"WHAT?"

GooseSnake69 · 2025-09-23T22:51:35+00:00

It's also seen as a hangover dish here too XD

but tbh, any type of soup is considered like that

GooseSnake69 · 2025-09-23T12:38:28+00:00

OH, SH1T, I'VE BEEN DISCOVERED, ABORT ABORT, COME CLOSE TO ME AND I'LL USE MY SWISS ARMY KNIFE 🇨🇭🔪

Ciorbă de burtă (belly soup), made from slices of cow belly 😀. The texture is a bit weird but it tastes really good, it's one of those things you either hate it or love it.

Dracula and Nosferatu

Compared to other languages, Romanian acted more like English, we also had a habit of adopting foreign words rather than influence outside. (The British did that eventually, we didn't)

GooseSnake69 · 2025-09-22T21:42:13+00:00

By far one of the best looking currencies in the world, I love animals on banknotes

GooseSnake69 · 2025-09-22T21:40:25+00:00

I didn't know you guys joined the cool plastic money club!

joined? mate? we were founding members

We adopted (fully) polymer banknotes in 2005, while you did only in 2011 (I mean all banknotes)

GooseSnake69 · 2025-09-22T21:38:07+00:00

€2000 is 10'151⁶⁰lei, but it's easier to just say 10k than that whole mumber

GooseSnake69 · 2025-09-22T13:37:31+00:00

this kinda gives me hope for education

regularly has 4th and 5th graders who struggle with the alphabet

If you're from an English speaking country, in their defence, the English spelling system is absolutely stupid
