Meaning
A store currently operating for customers.
Cultural Background
In cities like Bucharest or Cluj, 'magazine non-stop' are everywhere. They are small kiosks or shops that sell essentials at any hour. In villages, the 'magazin mixt' is the social heart. If it's 'deschis', you'll find people sitting outside on benches talking. Similar to Romania, but you might hear more Russian-influenced terms in casual speech, though 'magazin deschis' remains the standard. Romanians are often surprised that in countries like Germany or Austria, almost no 'magazin' is 'deschis' on Sundays.
Look for the sign
Most shops have a small reversible sign in the window. 'Deschis' is usually in green, 'Închis' in red.
False Friend
Never ask for a 'magazin' if you want something to read on the plane. You'll be directed to a supermarket!
