    Landmarks of historical Bucharest


    In French, it is
    called l’embarras du choix, which means you’re spoilt for choice. Historical
    Bucharest is an obvious example of that, since you may find it difficult to choose
    a fine location to introduce to our listeners. Our choice today is Parcul
    Carol, the Carol Park.


    As usual, we
    begin with a series of useful words and phrases:


    a amenaja=lay
    out set up


    a inaugura=
    inaugurate


    a
    sarbatori=celebrate


    domnie=reign


    Rege=king


    Architect
    peisagist=landscape architect


    Terasament=embankment


    Now here are
    some meaningful sentences including part of the words and phrases above:


    Parcul Carol a
    fost amenajat intre anii 1900-1096.


    The Carol Park
    was laid out between the years 1900 and 1906.

    inaugurat in 1906, pentru a sarbatori domnia de patru decenii a Regelui Carol
    I.


    The park was inaugurated
    in 1906, to celebrate the four-decade reign of King Carol 1st.


    Pentru constructia parcului, s-au folosit
    planurile arhitectului peisagist francez Eduard Redont.


    The plans drawn
    out by the French landscape architect Eduard Redont were used for the
    construction of the park.
