Did you know?
- Because the verb mulțumesc is already in the first-person singular, Romanian does not require a pronoun. Adding 'I' (eu) to the phrase eu mulțumesc mult would actually sound unnatural or like an aggressive insistence on who is doing the thanking.
- The word mult in mulțumesc mult is a distant relative of the English word 'multitude'. Both share a root in the Latin 'multus', which originally described something 'crumbled' or 'crumpled'.
- In some Romanian social contexts, saying mulțumesc too frequently or excessively can be perceived as overly formal or even distant. To show genuine warmth, Romanians often pair it with a personal gesture or a specific compliment.
