뜻
Describing windy weather.
문화적 배경
The 'Crivăț' is a legendary cold wind that Romanians believe comes from the steppes of Russia. It is often personified in stories as an old man with a frozen beard. The 'Curent' (draft) is a major cultural obsession. Even if 'e vânt' outside, Romanians will be more worried about the small draft from a car window than the gale outside. In rural Romania, 'e vânt' is a sign for farmers to check their crops. Certain winds are known to bring rain, while others dry the soil too quickly. Some believe that if 'e vânt' on your wedding day, it means the couple will have a 'restless' life, though this varies by region.

The 'Curent' Trap
Never tell a Romanian 'E vânt' inside their house unless you want them to panic about getting sick!
