The phrase 'Mai treci pe la noi' (Come by more often) is a staple of Romanian hospitality. Even if you are busy, it is polite to say you will try to come 'mai des'. In the Republic of Moldova, 'mai des' is used identically, though you might hear it with a slightly softer 's' sound in regional accents. In villages, 'mai des' often refers to the agricultural cycle or the frequency of communal help ('clacă').
The 'Tot' Trick
Add 'tot' before 'mai des' to sound like a native speaker describing a trend.
