Hi Bianca,
ALL Romanian fairy-tales and legends start with this beautiful ambiguous
sentence:
" A fost odata ca niciodata, ca daca n-ar fi nu s-ar povesti ."
Can you translate this?
Most Czernowitz-stories told on our list are not folkloric tales.
Best regards,
Irene

Nice saying, "nu s'a fi povesti" means "It would not be
told."
