A-i fi sete

To be thirsty

Feeling the need to drink.

🌍

문화적 배경

It is common to offer water to anyone entering your home, even a delivery person on a hot day. Wells (fântâni) are often named after the person who built them and are considered a gift to the community. Drinking water after coffee is a standard practice to cleanse the palate and stay hydrated. During fasting periods, people might say 'mi-e sete' not just for water, but for spiritual cleansing.

💡

The 'Me' Rule

Always remember that 'Mi-e' starts with 'M' just like 'Me'. It helps you remember it's about you.

⚠️

No 'Eu sunt'

Never say 'Eu sunt sete'. It's the most common mistake and sounds very foreign.
