Yeah, Romanian is so weird to me as a native Portuguese speaker - there are so many cognates. I am good friends with a Romanian family and when they talk all sorts of words are completely understandable coming from Portuguese…

In order of fluency (for languages spoken, although German was only studied and any fluency has rusted out):

Portuguese: Por Favor/Obrigado

English: Please/Thank you

Spanish: Por Favor/Gracias

Farsi: Lotfan/Merci (plus many more elaborate ways of thanking)

German: Bitte/Danke

For languages I don’t speak at all, but only know because of friends who are native speakers:

French: s’il vous plait/merci

Romanian: Va rog/multumesc

Italian: Per favore/Grazie

In case you haven’t heard, World of Goo 2 is just coming out! And like their other games, Linux is supported but you can also buy for direct download from them
