The most notable differences are in the pronunciation:
- Standard Romanian has a pallatized the ş sound, while Moldavian hasn't, so that the consonant is pronounced more lively. This is observed at the inexistence of the differences between the plural and singular of the ş ending nouns in Moldavian (ex: ostaş being the singular and plural form of the noun in Mold., while in Romanian the plural being ostaşi). The same thing happens for the consonants ţ and j (ex. soldaţ-soldaţi, praj-praji)and also for z, but for this it happens in the literary form of words, so that if a Moldavian standard form of a word is seară, the Moldavian will be sară, or „mătasă” ( Ro: mătase) or z: „zamă” (zeamă). -in some areas the sound č is pronounced like a ş : Şi faş? (Ce faci? -the ending "ea" from the imperfect form of the verbs becomes "e" ( hardly accented) : vede, cite, scrie. -the future forms „am să fac”, „o să fac” and „oi face” are often used instead of the literary "voi face" -in some words, the labial consonant is pallatized. ex: ghini (instead of bine), chişior (picior), jin(ars) (vin(ars)), a hierbe and a şerbe (a fierbe). 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

I have friends from Romania and also a friend from the Republic of Moldova. My friend from the Republic of Moldova speaks with a different accent to my Romanian friends and when she is speaking to me she seems to use the same vocabulary as my Romanian friends, but when she is speaking to members of her family she uses quite a few words of Russian origin. Sometimes (but thankfully not too often) she confuses a Romanian word with a Russian word. I think that the differences in standard English and a broad Scottish accent are probably greater.

First of all, the Moldavian language doesn't exist. The Republic of Moldova had accepted the fact that they spoke romanian. The communist government in Moldova introduced this idea that they don't speak romanian, but moldavian, finding reasons to draw a line to separate the romanians living in Romania and the romanians living in Moldova. The differences in speaking and vocabulary are like those between american English and british English.
Second of all, I am aromanian and a native aromanian speaker. I know Greece's point of view upon aromanians, there have been and still are many debates on this subject. The aromanian and romanian languages are not that different as they might seem. The aromanian language resembles more the romanian language spoken a few hundred years ago, but a native aromanian and a native romanian would still understand eachother. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Now that this thread is revived, do Romanians in Romania say "oleaca de" to mean "putin"? I've heard it was
particularly Moldovan. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

My Moldavian friend uses "oleaca" a lot but I also have a friend from Romania who sometimes uses it. My Moldavian friend also uses "numaidecât" a lot, but my Romanian friend doesn't seem to say it so much.

This was Moldova in 1483. In this region we're all using "oleaca" and speaking Romanian, and not a dialect. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

That's strange.What is the etymology of the word ''oleaca''?It sounds a bit greek to me,like the word 'λίγο΄ ,older word ΄ολίγον', with the same meaning.
