I need to say on the Romanian language:"Christ is Risen! Truly Risen!".
Also would really appreciate if somebody could write me two another Romanien words like as "Hello!" and "Good buy!"

Well, I don't know much Romanian, but I can say a couple of things:
Hello: Buna ziua (lit. "Good afternoon")
Good buy: Buna Cumparaturi
Goodbye: La revedere
To our Romanian friends, I hope I didn't mangle your language too badly. It really sounds beautiful whenever I'm not the one speaking it.

Depending upon how close you are to the person you're speaking, you can change la revedere with ceau ceau (pronounced and means the same as the Italian ciao. Also- How are you?- Ce facii (tchaye fahtch) or more formally Ce mai facii?Good. -(Reply to How are you?) Bine (bee-nay) Very good. - Foarte bine! (fwahrtay bee-nay) Thank You - Mulţumesc. (mul-tsoo-mesk) You're Welcome - Cuplecere. (koopleh-tcheh-reh) Mr. is Domnule. (dohm-noo-leh) Mrs. is Doamna (dwahm-nah) How are you, Mr. Dumitru/Mrs. Ioanna? Ce mai facii, Domnule Dumitru/Doamna Ioanna?I hope I got those correct. My Romanian girlfriend is always laughing at my accent.   |

Christos ah uhn-vee-aht! Ah-deh-veh-raht ah uhn-vee-aht!

Hristos a înviat!
Adevărat a înviat!Hello! -Bună! (usually among girls) or -Salut! (usually among boys) Good bye! -La revedere!
-Pa!
-Pa! Pa!
We don't usually use 'Good buy!', but you could say - Bună alegere! (Good choice! > Boo-nuh ah-leh-geh-reh) As a joke, Bună cumpăraturi! means Hello Shopping! Ceau! is used mostly in Transilvania and it means Hello! and Good bye! I'll make a few corrections, Gabriel. You did a good job. You're welcome is spelled 'Cu plăcere'; Ioanna is 'Ioana' and facii is 'faci' |

So "Bună" doesn't mean "good" when it's used in that second phrase? Should I then say "Bine cumpăraturi" for "There is good shopping here"? |

You did a good job. You're welcome is spelled 'Cu plăcere'; Ioanna is 'Ioana' and facii is 'faci'Mulţumesc, prietene! |

Bună means means good, as a feminine singular adjective and also Hello, because is short from Bună ziua. Cumpăraturi is plural, so you should say Bune cumpărături (but it sounds a little strange). Bine also means good, but it is an adverb. You could translate There is good shopping here with Se fac cumpărături bune aiciMulţumesc, prietene!Cu plăcere! |
