خلفية ثقافية
It is very common to invite a priest to perform a 'Sfestanie' (house blessing) when moving into a casă nouă. In villages, a 'casă nouă' was often built with the help of the whole community in a tradition called 'clacă'. Bringing bread and salt to a housewarming is a symbol of wishing the owners a life of abundance. Young professionals often use 'casă nouă' to refer to their first purchased apartment, a major status symbol.
Word Order

The Number 9
Be careful! 'Nouă' also means nine. Use 'o' (a) to clarify you mean 'new'.
