Hmmm, I thought I was fluent in Romanian (born there and lived there for 26 years), but I only know 5 of those 8 words...

According to Google Translate the first two are "girl" and the rest are "face". =)

    Google Translate is a horrible tool for "translating" single words or lists of unrelated words.

    Use a proper dictionary for that. The very nature of statistical models makes proper translation without context impossible for these systems, especially when uncommon words and diacritics are involved.

    * fata - the girl

    * fată - girl

    * fața - the face

    * față - face

    * făta - was giving birth

    * făță - a small fish, or a child who won't sit still

    * fâța - was fussing

    * fâță - variant of făță

    As you might infer from the first 4, Romanian uses postfix "the" and for singular feminine words you can't tell the difference if you use only ASCII.
