Article: Salut! is the most common way to say "hello" in Romanian. This word is also a common greeting in French, and is pronounced the same way. Buna ziua is a more formal way to say "hello." It literally means "good day." Notice that the word buna is similar to the Spanish bueno or the Italian bene. This phrase means "How are you?" in Romanian. It's a more formal version, which you would use when talking to people older than you or in a position of authority. In more informal situations, you would ask Ce mai faci? If the other person asks you first, you might reply multumesc, bine, which means "fine, thank you." [1] After exchanging general greetings, you might say numele meu e, which means "my name is," followed by your name. If you're speaking to someone older than you or in a position of authority, use Cum va numiti? This is the formal way of asking someone's name. You can also use the phrase ma numesc, followed by your name, to introduce yourself. Native speakers will naturally be more friendly and patient with you if you're polite. Always use va rog (please) and multumesc (thank you) when asking questions or engaging in conversation. Other polite words and phrases you might need include: Pardon! (sorry; excuse me also used when getting someone's attention). Mersi (thank you pronounced just like merci in French). Cu placere (you're welcome/my pleasure response to "thank you"). Scuzati-ma! (excuse me). Especially if you're in Romania, native speakers may start speaking rapidly to you in Romanian after you manage to start a basic conversation. If you want to continue practicing, you might encourage them to speak to you in Romanian. However, you still need to be able to tell them when you don't understand what they're saying. Nu inteleg means "I don't understand." Nu is the Romanian word for "no" (da means "yes"), so this phrase is constructed similarly to the Spanish no entiendo. If you're having a hard time understanding the person, you might say poti sa repeti, te rog? which means "please say that again," or poti sa vorbesti mai rar? which means "please speak more slowly." You might also say nu vorbesc bine romaneste, which means "I don't speak Romanian well." If you don't think you're going to be able to communicate any further in Romanian, you can always say vorbiti engleza? which means "do you speak English?" La revedere is a somewhat formal but general way to tell anyone "goodbye" in Romanian. Note how similar this is to the Italian arrivederci (which more accurately means "see you later"). You can also say pa, which is more equivalent to "bye." If you're going to be seeing the person again soon, try pe curand, which means "see you soon."

Article: Many people may already know their yearly salary, but in the event that you don't, check your most recent pay stub. Use your gross (not net) paythat is your amount before taxesand multiply the number by the number of pay periods in a year. For those on a bi-weekly schedule, you would multiply the number by 26. For those whose companies offer two scheduled paydays per month, such as the 15th and 30th/31st, you will only multiply the number by 24. For a quick rule of thumb, you can use a standard formula such as: 7.5 hours per day x 5 days per week x 52 weeks per year = 1,950 hours worked per year. 8.0 hours per day x 5 days per week x 52 weeks per year = 2,080 hours worked per year. Once you have these two numbers, you can divide your totally yearly income by your total number of yearly hours to reach an approximate hourly wage. For example, if your total income was $15,000 and your total number of hours was 2,080, then 15,000 / 2,080 = approximately $7.21 per hour.

Article: This way you will have a list of what you need to complete. Before leaving school, make sure you understand the assignment. Ask your teacher for clarification about what you are supposed to do, when the assignment is due, and how it will be graded. Ask how long each assignment should take, so you can plan to budget your time. Tasks which are worth a higher percentage of your grade or that are more challenging should be completed first. Look at your assignment list. Rank each assignment in terms of importance and level of difficulty. Plan out how much time you need to spend on your homework for the evening. Decide in what order you will complete your assignments. Most students have between 1 to 3 hours of homework every evening and often finish their homework when they get home.
