Romanian Pronunciation

Romanian pronunciation is relatively straightforward compared to other languages, as it is highly phonetic—words are generally pronounced as they are spelled. However, Romanian also has unique sounds and specific pronunciation rules that learners should be aware of to speak confidently and naturally.

Vowel Clarity
Romanian has seven main vowels: a, e, i, o, u, ă, and î/â. Most vowels are pronounced clearly and consistently:
- a sounds like the "a" in "father."
- e resembles the "e" in "bed."
- i is like the "ee" in "see."
- o is similar to the "o" in "bore."
- u sounds like the "oo" in "boot."
- ă is unique and resembles a schwa (like the "a" in "sofa").
- î/â is a nasalized sound, similar to a closed "uh," and is one of the most distinctive features of Romanian.
Consonant Pronunciation
Most consonants are pronounced similarly to those in English, with a few exceptions:
- ș is like "sh" in "shoe."
- ț is like "ts" in "cats."
- ch before e or i sounds like "k," while before other vowels, it retains its "ch" sound.
- gh before e or i is pronounced like a hard "g," as in "go."
Stress and Intonation
Stress in Romanian words is irregular and not marked in writing, so it must be learned as part of vocabulary acquisition. Stress often falls on the second-to-last syllable but can vary, especially in longer words.
Softening of Consonants
The letter i can soften preceding consonants, particularly at the end of words. For example, faci (you do) is pronounced with a softened "ch" sound: /faʧ/.
Diphthongs and Triphthongs
Romanian uses combinations of vowels to form diphthongs (e.g., oa as in poamă) and triphthongs (e.g., eai as in aveai), which are pronounced fluidly as a single syllable but with a glide between sounds.
Special Cases
- The letter h is generally aspirated, like the "h" in "hat," except in borrowed words where it may be silent.
- The digraph ce and ci are pronounced as "che" and "chi" (e.g., cer sounds like "cher").
- Double consonants are rare in Romanian and are not pronounced distinctly, unlike in Italian.
