OanaF's translation is OK, but she translated some words "by ear":
I spent a very pleasant day = am petrecut o zi foarte plăcută
on the occasion = cu ocazia
where is "pe scurt"?

"pe scurt" means "briefly". A translator can make an omission if he/she finds it not necessary in the target language

Can you please post in English, your comments about the translation. I don't speak Romanian. If I did, I wouldn't need to set a poll.

If you think something is wrong with the translation, I won't be able to fix it if I can't understand your comments.

I would have used "briefly" not "in short", I have not heard it used like that, but I am not the specialist, maybe Tantine can say if it is used. In rest the translation is very well done.

Hi iepurica , Hi girls.

"In short" is not only correct, I like it a lot in this phrase. It puts an emphasis on the fact that there was a lot of fun.

I've edited to put "the" before "1st of March" and I've validated.

I would love to learn more about these March amulets. Maybe one of you (or all of you ) could explain more about them in the culture forum here under "local beliefs", or maybe in the handcrafts section?
