Keywords: forced possessive; calques; influence;
Summary/Abstract: This study aims to discuss about the influence that English has on the Romanian language, but also about the aggressive loans of English words or phrases. The use of the full form of the possessive adjective also proves to mark a damaging influence of the English language. One of the English calques is the phrase “to make sense’’, which is literally translated into Romanian as “a face sens” and not “a avea sens’’.
