Arcobaleno, do you speak Romanian? Look, Burduf knows Romanian much better than you. Even if his translation is not right, he is trying to think in a logic way. Your translation is not even close to what "alune de padure" means. Try to comment for the languages that you know, please. Romanian language is not an abstract painting with as many interpretations as the persons are watching it.

I agree with "forest hazelnuts"; nevertheless, maybe an English native speaker could confirm if this term is actually used. Why not just "hazelnuts"?

I searched on google "hazelnuts of wood" - there is no such expression

The only actual existing "fruit" is "wild hazelnuts", which will do perfectly for "alune de pădure"

Hi burduf, Hi Lillian, Hi Oana, Hi Azitrad.....

Since you have put "noisettes des bois" in the comments box, I think you ought to tranlsate this into english as either "wild hazelnuts" (as opposed to "cobnuts" which are cultivated) or simly "hazelnuts", either seem fine to me.

As the english stands, it would be understood as "noisettes en bois

"hazelnuts of wood" - I read "made of wood" (alune din lemn), I think you need very strong teeth for them
