Bedeutung
Tea served at a high temperature.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Tea is often viewed as a medicinal drink. If you order tea in a rural home, the host might ask if you are feeling unwell. A 'ceainărie' (tea house) is a popular spot for dates and quiet study, where 'ceai fierbinte' is served with artistic flair. The 'diminutive' is often used to show affection. 'Ceaiuț fierbinte' sounds much more caring than just 'ceai'. Offering a hot drink is the first thing a Romanian host does when a guest arrives from the cold.
Order by type
In Romania, if you just say 'ceai', they might give you fruit tea. Specify 'ceai negru' if you want English-style tea.
Temperature
Romanian 'fierbinte' is truly hot. Always test it before taking a big gulp!
