뜻
Stating that something happens at all times.
문화적 배경
The slogan 'Mereu aproape' (Always close) was used for decades by one of Romania's largest TV stations, Antena 1, making the phrase a household staple. Many Romanian pop and rock songs use 'mereu' to express eternal love or persistent longing, a common theme in the local music scene. Romanians often use 'mereu' when welcoming guests, saying they are 'mereu bineveniți' (always welcome), reflecting the high value placed on hospitality. In traditional Romanian thought, the cycle of seasons and nature is seen as 'mereu'—a constant, reassuring repetition that defines rural life.
Placement
Put 'mereu' after the verb for a natural sound. 'Merg mereu' sounds better than 'Mereu merg'.
Apples vs Always
Don't tell someone you eat 'always' (mereu) when you mean you eat 'apples' (mere).
