Eastern Europeans who speak a Latin-based Romance language similar to Italian. The Romanians descend primarily from a mixture of indigenous Dacians, Roman soldiers and colonists who conquered the Dacians and intermarried/assimilated them, and to a certain extent from Goths, Huns, Slavs, Cumans, and others who traversed the territory that became Romania in the centuries after Roman rule.
As Romanians were isolated from the other Latin peoples of Western Europe, they absorbed various cultural influences from Slavs, Greeks, Turks, and other neighboring peoples (i.e. Orthodox Christianity), however they are very conscious of their Latin heritage which distinguishes them from their neighbors. This ethnic consciousness manifests itself, as one might expect, in the name "Romania," reflecting this Roman heritage.
1st guy: "I think I'll be Dracula for Halloween."
2nd guy: "You know Dracula is loosely based on a real Romanian hero named Vlad Dracula right? He's basically a national hero for Romanians as he helped drive out the Ottoman Turks."

European folks, they speak a language pretty close to Latin.
Their women are to die for.
This Romanian girl I knew, Oana... man she had short short hair, big eyes, and a badass last name but... she was gay. That sucked.

1.A person of Romanian descent.
Often has bad connotations in Europe because of a few bad apples who love thieving, destroying public property or at the very least begging.
However, this is no more true of all Romanians than being fat and stupid is true of all Americans. Many ignorant spiteful people will have you think that Romanians are all crooks and charlatans. This is obviously false; most of them are just playing the cards they've been dealt by many many years of unjust tyrannical regimes, and are actually, despite the somewhat grim financial situation of their country, jolly, welcoming folks. They enjoy a drink (or two) and many of the world's finest wines come from Romania.
2.The Romanian language. Romanians speak a Romance language (derived from Latin), the only one still surviving in Eastern Europe today. It is very similar to Italian, though they are not mutually intelligible. Because of its isolation from other Romance speaking countries, Romanian retains many grammatical features of Latin, that have been lost to other Romance languages, such as declension and the neuter gender.
1. Insulin was discovered by Nicolae Paulescu, a Romanian scientist.
2. "Sault, ce mai faci?" means "Hello, how are you?" in Romanian.

The feeling of togetherness felt among a group of teenage christian Romanian-Americans. The source being the Love of God that unites us all, along with an understanding of unwritten high social standards set in place by parents of the Romanian Christian community in the USA, many of whom immigrated directly from Romania.
I loved that worship service last night! There were so many Romanian Youth from all across the country, and yet we felt like we knew each other our whole lives! I love Romanianism.
