To be afraid

معنی

Feeling fear.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The 'descântec de frică' is a traditional ritual where a healer recites verses to drive away fear from a child's soul, often using 'apa neîncepută' (untouched water). The concept of 'Frica de Dumnezeu' (Fear of God) is central to Romanian spirituality, signifying deep respect and awe rather than terror. Modern Romanians often use 'frică' in the context of 'gura lumii' (the mouth of the world), reflecting a cultural emphasis on social reputation. Traditionally, parents might use 'Bau-bau' (the bogeyman) to instill a 'healthy' fear in children to make them behave, though this is changing in modern parenting.
