Did you know?
- Romanian uses a wide variety of suffixes to make words 'small' instead of using a separate adjective, such as adding -uț or -uțel to the end of a noun.
- The word pipi is actually a loanword from French, where it serves as the same childish term for urine.
- Because pipi is a very infantile term, it is primarily used by children or when speaking to toddlers in a nursery setting.
