01:38And after that, I had an intensive course for a month
01:42in Iasi, last summer.
01:45Did you learn Romanian in a year?
01:48Yes.
01:49Something like that?
01:50Yes.
01:51It continues, but I started a year ago.
01:55Your Excellency, how long?
01:57I also started a year and a half ago,
02:02but before coming here,
02:07I started in Turkey with a very good teacher from Romania.
02:14Then you learned the language for the first time.
02:17Yes, with Alina.
02:18And I continue here with another very good teacher, Roxana.
02:24I thank her here.
02:27Well done, Roxana, you did a good job!
02:29And Alina, and Alina.
02:30And Alina, and Alina.
02:31We make progress little by little.

02:38I will tell you the rules in a few seconds.

02:42When I speak quickly and I take it in advance ...
02:46Like this.
02:47Okay.
02:48Slowly.
02:49Tell me.
02:51Pull me slowly.
02:53The closest to Romania, geographically speaking, is Turkey.
02:57Let's start with His Excellency, the Turkish Ambassador.
03:02Welcome again.
03:08How long have you been in Romania?
03:12We have been in Romania for a year and a half.
03:17And we are very happy here with my family.
03:22It is a great joy for us.
03:25What family do you have?
03:26Are you married?
03:27I am married.
03:28My wife and a son and a daughter.
03:31You have two children.
03:32Two children.
03:33Do you have children, Your Excellency, Mr. Ambassador?
03:35Do you have children?
03:36I have children.
03:37Unfortunately, they are not here in Romania.
03:39They are in London.
03:40At school.

03:49Listen to me.
03:50Let me tell you the rules.
03:51We come with the definition of a word.
03:52You have to find the word.
03:53When you find it, press this button as hard as you can.
03:54Easy.
03:55Clear.
03:56Clear.
03:57Do we start?

04:21We decided together that the money you're going to win, because it's a game with cash,
04:22lots of children, lots of people who need money.
04:23Who do we send the money to?
04:24We chose a charity group from the British and the Romanian.
04:25It's called Light into Europe.
04:26And you will help them.
04:27And you will help them.
04:28That's great.
04:29This is very good.
04:30And we want your help.
04:31Yes.
04:32I know you are from Greece.
04:33Organized by the British-Romanian Charity, it's called Light into Europe, and it helps blind and deaf people.
04:44Thank you very much.
04:46Ok, let's start.

04:57Three hundred, not three hundred, three thousand words.
05:00God of words?

05:03Now there are also a lot of English words.
05:06At the end of the week it's weekend.
05:09E-mail.
05:10E-mail, ready, cool.
05:13Cool.
05:14Mr. Ambassador, I ask you.
05:18Four letters.
05:19Four letters form a word.
05:22Pay attention here.
05:24House object.
05:26On which, Mr. Ambassador, the food is placed.
05:30House object.
05:32What is house object?
05:33So, house object is from the house, from the house.
05:36When you enter the house, you enter the house, you sit at the table.
05:41I give you a letter.
05:43A letter, please.
05:45Table.
05:51Did you catch the word, Mr. Ambassador?
05:53No.

05:58Thank you very much.
05:59It's a table, it's not ...
06:00What Romanian food do you like a lot?
06:05Sarmale.
06:06I said Romanian, not Turkish.
06:08No, it's Romanian too.
06:11And ...
06:13Mamaliga.
06:14Mamaliga is ours, yes.
06:16And fish soup is very good here, it's very good.
06:20Soup is also from ...
06:23Soup is said in Romanian and in Turkish as soup, right?
06:26Soup.
06:27Yes, but we don't have fish soup.
06:31We.
06:32We.
06:33Ours.
06:34Did you eat sarmale, Mr. Ambassador?
06:36Of course, yes.
06:37Do you know how sarmale are?
06:38Yes, yes, yes.
06:39Delicious.
06:40Yes.
06:41And potatoes for dessert.

06:45I like it very much.
06:47Do you eat potatoes?
06:48Yes, yes.
06:49Cola with ...
06:50Cola with potatoes.
06:51Full of sugar.
06:53Yes, it's not healthy, but ...

06:56It's very good.
06:57It's very good.
06:58Mr. Ambassador, in 20 seconds you won 300 lei.
07:05This is the salary of a Galatasaray player.
07:08In a few seconds to win 300 lei, you have to be a player.
07:11You are very generous.
07:14I go to the next, to the next word.
07:16I'll tell you one more word, because we were talking about the table.
07:19When you go to the table at the restaurant, we took from the Turks and we leave bakÅŸiÅŸ.

07:33We have bakÅŸiÅŸ.
07:35I go further.

08:06We have 600 lei in half a minute, Mr. Ambassador.

08:25How old are your children?
08:27How old?
08:29My daughter is 18 and my son is 15.
08:36Gentlemen, me and you have a big problem.
08:41We have girls about the same age.
08:45In Romania, fathers who have 15-year-old girls, prepare their guns.
08:51Yes.
08:53I think they are teenagers.
08:57With a little dialogue and understanding, everything is possible.
09:04But patience and dialogue are essential.
09:08That's right.
09:09It's the way to goodness.
09:12We have 600 lei, Mr. Ambassador, in half a minute, in 30 seconds.

09:57You will like this word.
10:01The one who lives his life without any restrictions.
10:07A letter, please.
10:08Restrictions.
10:11Free.
10:17Is it a first name?
10:19I had a chance.
10:22How do you translate free in Turkish?
10:25I swear.

10:27My name is free.
10:30It means free.
10:32It means free.
10:34Excellent.
10:35Beautiful.
10:36For this reason, it wasn't so difficult.
10:41Who had the idea to put this name?
10:43It's a beautiful show.
10:45My mother.
10:46I think it was my mother.
10:48And my father.
10:49Of course.

11:086 letters.
11:096 letters.

11:12It's an admirable word in England, in Turkey, in Romania, in the United States, in Vietnam, in India.
11:21Anywhere.
11:22Anywhere.
11:23A deep feeling of affection.
11:29Please, the letter.
11:34A feeling...
11:36Life doesn't work without something like that.
11:39Life without this word is unimaginable, Mr. Ambassador.
11:44Please, the letter.
11:47Love.
11:53As Mr. Ambassador says, all you need is love.
11:56The words of Mr. McCartney.

12:22My sister.
12:23And you have two children.
12:24Excellent.
12:25We have a word in Romanian that is called papuc.
12:30Have you heard of papuc?
12:31Papuc?
12:32Papuc.
12:33Is it cotton?
12:35No, papuc.
12:37Ah, ok.
12:38Isn't it also papuc in Turkish?
12:40Papuc.
12:41Yes, yes, yes.
12:42Is that right?
12:43That's right.
12:44In Romanians who are married and love their wives,
12:49they say about them, as I am, that we are under papuc.
12:53Under papuc.
12:55Mr. Ambassador,
12:57I will give you one more word from six letters.
13:03We have 1,800 lei in this clip.
13:05Let's remind those of us who are watching
13:07that the money is being collected and will go to an organization
13:11that brings welfare to the earth.
13:14Listen to me.
13:16That's all I'm telling you.

13:21You have it and so do we.
13:24You have this word.
13:26Say it, please.
13:30Soup.
13:36Soup.
13:38Do you know what the traditional Romanian food is?
13:41Pork.
13:42Pork.
13:43You know, you ate pork, I think, in Romania.
13:48We didn't eat it in Turkey.
13:51I know.
13:52But do you know why pork is the traditional food?
13:55When the Ottomans came...
13:57Do you know the story?
13:58I know, I know.
13:59When the Ottomans came,
14:01the Ottomans took goats, goats, everything.
14:05But not pork.
14:06And then the Romanians raised pigs.
14:08This story is funny.
14:10It's a funny story.
14:11It's a historical story.
14:13Interesting.
14:14Perfect.
14:15We have 2,300, Mr. Ambassador.

16:02What?
16:03He is not a guest, but...
16:06He is not a guest.
16:11He is not a guest.
16:12Why did you say he is not a guest?
16:13Because he is.
16:14Excellent.
16:15He is not a guest.
16:16He is not a guest.
16:17How do you say it in Turkish?
16:18He is not a guest.
16:19He is not a guest.
16:20Yes.
16:21Okay.
16:22It's pretty easy.
16:23It's in Turkish.
16:24Is it still like this?
16:25He is not a guest.
16:26He is not a guest.
16:27He is there.

20:51To help others.
20:52Mr. Ambassador, as you saw the rules of the game,
20:55you know how it is,
20:56with what you eat.
20:58I invite you to the chair.
20:59Yes.
21:00Please.
21:01Good luck.
21:04Welcome.
21:05Welcome.
21:10How long did you learn Romanian?
21:12I didn't learn it.
21:14You speak it.
21:15I continued.
21:17I started a year ago,
21:19a little more than a year ago,
21:21and I continue here, in Bucharest,
21:23with lessons every week.
21:27You did an intensive course, right?
21:29I did an intensive course in Iași for a month.
21:33I lived with a very kind and generous host family.
21:39I did excursions in Iași,
21:43for example, to the monasteries.
21:46Excellent.
21:47Yes, yes, beautiful.
21:48Old, beautiful.
21:49Very interesting.
21:50You saw the ones over there, VoroneÈ›,
21:52all of them from the area.
21:53Yes, yes, yes.
21:54Perfect.
21:55Beautiful.
21:56You know that the city with the most Romanians,
21:59where the most Romanians live,
22:02is neither Iași, where you were today,
22:04nor Timișoara, nor Cluj,
22:06it's London.
22:07It's London.
22:08Yes, probably, probably,
22:10I know that over a million, probably a million...
22:13In all of England.
22:14That's right.
22:15And about 500,000 in London.
22:17Yes, yes, probably.
22:19Wonderful.
22:20Wonderful, that's right.
22:21It's the second home of many Romanians.
22:24Yes, it's very important,
22:26and I think it's a very important link
22:29between Romania and Great Britain.
22:31I propose another link,
22:33the link of languages, of words.
22:35Listen to me, Mr. Ambassador, I'm starting.
22:38Good.
22:39Four letters, four letters.
22:40Good.
22:41Private property with a garden or a yard.
22:46Don't be surprised, Mr. Ambassador.
22:48Private property with a garden or a yard.
22:53Ah.

22:55I'll give you a letter.
22:56Oh, oh, no?
22:58Letter.
23:00Okay, good.
23:03Home.
23:04Yes, sir.
23:05Perfect.

23:07We were talking about London being the second home
23:10of many Romanians.
23:11For half...
23:12Ah, thank you for the help.
23:14For half a million Romanians, London is the second home.
23:17Here, perfect.
23:18Excellent.
23:20I'm curious if you've been here.
23:23Four letters, 400 lei.
23:25A stretch of water, Mr. Ambassador,
23:27which is smaller than the ocean.
23:31Aha.
23:32So it's smaller than the ocean.
23:34Oh, okay.
23:35Please, if you know.
23:38The sea.
23:39The sea!
23:42Have you been to the Black Sea?
23:43Yes, yes.
23:44Have you been there?
23:45I've been to the Black Sea.
23:46You've been to the Black Sea?
23:47Yes, yes, yes.
23:48Did you know that the Black Sea also comes from the Turks?
23:51It was called Karadeniz.
23:53Karadeniz, yes.
23:54Exactly, yes.
23:55It was in the north of the Ottoman Empire
23:57and the sea was dark and beautiful.
23:59Did you like the sea?
24:00Yes, a lot, a lot.
24:02Expensive, you say?
24:04Yes, yes.
24:05Agglomerated and expensive, but beautiful.
24:08But a beautiful sea.
24:09Yes.
24:10It's calm now, it's autumn.
24:13Perfect.
24:14500 lei.
24:16Okay.
24:17500 lei.
24:20The definition is not easy.
24:22No.

24:29So, the horizontal is this, the vertical is this.
24:35Are you far from The Shard?
24:38In London?
24:39Yes.
24:40Yes, yes, this building.
24:42The pyramid, not from London.
24:44The Shard is in the shape of a pyramid.
24:46I think that's the most...
24:48Vertical dimension.
24:49The letter.
24:50The letter.
24:54It's difficult.
24:55Besides tennis, do you like basketball?

25:25You're a man.
25:27I'll give you another letter.

26:28What food do you like?
26:29Romanian food?
26:30Oh, in Romania, of course, there are small and big ones, but you have other very interesting dishes.
26:38For example, what is it called?
26:42Marmaliga.
26:43Marmaliga, yes.
26:45Marmaliga with cheese and sour cream.
26:49Sour cream.
26:50Yes.

27:47Perfect.
27:48Consul.
27:49He's right after the ambassador, right?
27:51Or not?
27:52I don't understand.
27:53He can be right after, but it depends on how big the ambassador is.
27:58Ah, okay.
27:59It's like he has visas and all that, right?
28:02Yes, yes, exactly.
28:03Relationships with the citizens.
28:05With the citizens.
28:06Yes.
28:07With the citizens.
28:08Yes.

28:21And after that, to Ankara.
28:23Where I was born.
28:26And in the end, here.
28:28So, in three countries before Romania.
28:33Did you want to come to Romania, or did it just happen?
28:36No, of course, I chose Romania.
28:39Because 20 years ago, I was the British negotiator for Romania to join the EU.
28:46So, I visited 20 years ago.
28:49Excellent.
28:50And I wanted to come back.
28:53Are you a Romanian artist?
28:54Is it a music you listen to?
28:56I didn't even want to ask you.
28:58Do you like anything from Romanian music?
29:01I have to mention Loredana.
29:06Because when we had the national holiday, this summer, Loredana sang.
29:17And it was absolutely fantastic.
29:19I promise you that we will send it to you.
29:21We will send it to you.
29:23Excellent.
29:24We will send it to you.
29:25Do you like anything from Romania?
29:27Music?
29:28Music and parties.

29:39This is very special for me.
29:41And it lasts all night.
29:44It's incredible.
29:46And impressive.
29:48Mr. Ambassador.

30:20I told you it's logical.
30:22I told you it's logical.
30:24It's my wife.

31:30Mother-in-law.
31:32Mother-in-law.

31:42We need to be very careful.
31:44But I saw that it helps you.
31:46Give me a helping hand.
