“What language do Romanians still speak?” is a conference at the Romanian Athenaeum hosted by Rodica Zafiu. While Rodica Zafiu danced among the words of the Romanian language, I wrote these things down. The conference can be viewed online Who wants to read Rodica Zafiu? This is his last book. Who wants to be infected with Temperance? Articles by Rodika Zafiu.

For Rodica Zafiu, the Romanian language is not a problem

Rodica Zafiu knows a simple rule: the Romanian language is an open space, an open door, an open world. The Romanian language has no borders. The Romanian language is hospitable. The Romanian language does not shy away from either good or bad. How does Rodika Zafiu know all these things? She is a friend, a confidant of the Romanian language. With her fresh, attentive look, it could not be otherwise. What anyone can be. But how many of us have the tolerance and patience of Rodika Zafiu?

Rodika Zafiu – Sherlock Holmes?

This is. Give him a new look, bro, whatever. He sits for a moment, then smiles, understanding the origin of that expression. But he is in no hurry. you don’t see He sits, looks around, smiles, as if he found the answer too easily. And wants in a moment. From this point of view, Rodica Zafiu is a show in itself. The Romanian language does not give Rodică wrinkles, no, rather smiles. Because he knows how crazy the extremists of the Romanian language are. But how many of us have a smile like Rodika Zafiu’s? A smile that gives restraint and thoughtfulness in the search for a solution.

This is how Rodika Zafiu is a star

A random word that didn’t even occur to her in Romanian makes her a star. why because Rodika Zafiu is not an influencer who rushes to say everything quickly. But it honestly conveys the shock and horror of the audience that she doesn’t have. The language of madmen. It’s not what it was. And they? This is her mother’s language, every day. Confusion. confusion, grace, malice, order and disorder. Rodika Zafiu looks openly, smiles, is not afraid. He winks in Romanian. Make a verdict. Then Rodika Zafiu knows that you wasted time with a rebel, with a serf, with impudence, with a word that comes and goes. At any time, this go-te-vino in Romanian makes her a star. Rodika Zafiu can be summoned. This can be questioned. But who will do it? Why not? Few have his arguments and passion for the game. No one has such moderation as Rodika in the face of barbaric attacks, wars, abbreviations, neologization. Temperance Zafiu looks today and can always match herself. In an unstable, crazy, crazy world.
