Keywords: colloquial and literary Romanian;
Summary/Abstract: This time Rodica Zafiu focuses on circumlocutions Romanians use in both colloquial and literary language. Instead of telling someone to continue - Romanian,"continuă!" The colloquial speaker prefers to say "vorbeşte mai departe" - go on. The examples continue, the article ending with the famous line of one Caragiale's characters "Dă-i şi luptă"
