Can't wait for Romanians to start working here. Imagine a Romanian worker being told to do something: he'd probably reply "I do" which in Romanian is "fac eu"....

Wow expat I see that you are so interested in learning the Romanian language. Super news pal, maybe I can give you some lessons in private...
As a first light lesson, take for example the similarities between English and Romanian, such as "stupid" which has the same meaning in both languages. By comparative linguistic analysis we can conclude that this immortal attribute of the human being remains the same no matter your "fuk eu" status...
On a slightly more complicated approach, I can give you some basic limericks around your already known words. So your "fac eu" example should be expanded towards the more comprehensive "vreau eu" which stands for "I wish". Take into account that in Romanian many words are spelled in reverse, for example EU for European Union is in fact UE in Romanian, as in "Uniunea Europeana". So our words become "vreau ue"; but we have two vocals in between, so in slang we should say "vreau (m)ue" as the Romanian translation for "I wish". Please apply this very first lesson next time when you met a Romanian.
