Friendly Romanian People and Their Everyday Manners

Romanians are known all around the world for being warm, kind, and welcoming. They love talking, laughing, and making everyone feel at home. Let’s discover what makes Romanian people so friendly—and how they greet, talk, and show respect in everyday life!

Warm and Expressive Conversations

Romanians speak with a lot of energy and emotion. Since they come from Latin roots, like Italians or Spaniards, they’re usually not shy or distant. They love giving hugs, cheek kisses, and even holding hands or patting arms during a conversation. It’s completely normal to stand close, use hand gestures, and make lots of facial expressions while talking!

Hospitality: A Big Part of Romanian Culture

Romanians love having guests. If you visit a Romanian home, you’ll likely be treated like royalty! You might be offered homemade treats, drinks, and even small gifts. They truly enjoy sharing their home, food, and time with others.

Greetings and Smiles

When meeting someone, handshakes are the most common way to say hello. But if a man meets a woman, he might also kiss her hand as a polite gesture. And there’s one thing you’ll notice right away: Romanians smile a lot! Whether they meet a friend on the street or a neighbor at the store, they smile and say hello with warmth.

Talking About… Almost Anything!

Romanians are very open and don’t usually mind talking about topics that might seem personal in other cultures—like politics, religion, or income. It’s part of their open-hearted nature and the way they connect with others.

Visiting a Romanian Friend

If you’re going to a Romanian friend’s house, it’s polite to bring a small gift. Popular choices include:

• Flowers (always in odd numbers, like 3 or 5—not 4 or 6!)

• Chocolate or sweets

This simple gesture shows kindness and respect and makes your visit even more appreciated.
