I need to find out how to say "travelling iron" in Romanian.
This refers to a small quite light-weight iron that can be packed in a suitcase when travelling.
I had a very nice travelling iron - unfortunately it choose a very bad time to stop working. I urgently need to replace it, and I am in Bucharest Romania.
If you are Romanian and can tell me how to say "travelling iron" - or even better, you could give me a tip on where in Bucharest I can find one, then I would be very grateful! :-)
Ps - this cannot be googled or checked in a dictionary; needs translation by a speaker of the language.

"Fier de călcat de voiaj" / "Fier de călcat pentru voiaj" (literally "iron of ironing for travel")
See this description for one on Philips' Romanian site.

Hi everyone. Not sure if this is in the right place but...
If one is fluent in English and Persian, is it easy to learn Urdu? I know that Urdu has a lot of Persian vocabulary but the grammar is different. If I know English and Persian, would I be able to "pick up" Urdu/Hindi simply by watching Bollywood movies, for example? Is it easier to learn Urdu after knowledge of these two languages or is the relationship similar to learning French after just knowing English? Both English and French share a lot of vocab but you can't just "pick up" French by watching French movies.
In other words, would I be able to follow Bollywood movies with knowledge of English and Persian?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I tried to make a new topic, but this post, which was supposed to be a new topic, is for some reason in an unrelated thread. Could a moderator please move this to it's own thread? Thanks.
