Summary/Abstract: As no two languages are perfectly alike, translation above word level may sometimes prove to be no easy task. The authors’ aim is to highlight some difficulties encountered by a number of Romanian BA students when translating English collocations into their mother tongue. Special attention is devoted to lexical-semantic, grammatical and cultural differences between the two languages, as potential sources of these difficulties.
