Significado
Feeling anxious about something.
Contexto cultural
Worrying is often seen as a sign of 'omenie' (humanity/kindness). If you don't worry about your family, you might be seen as cold. The phrase is used identically, but you might hear 'a se jelui' (to complain/lament) more often in conjunction with worrying. There is a shared cultural concept of 'deranj' or 'grijă' that goes beyond simple worry into a form of social hospitality. Romanians living abroad often use 'a-și face griji' to describe the anxiety of integration and distance from home.
The 'Comfort' Rule
