English term or phrase: shoulders
I wonder, if I ve ever seen an Ang3l before..! How do You look like? Do You have arms, hands and feet..? Or just those beautiful 2 wings behind Your shoulders?
mido
umeri
Explanation:
Ma intreb daca am vazut vreodata un inger.. Cum arati? Ai brate, maini si picioare? Sau doar acele minunate aripi in spatele umerilor tai?

2 wings sounds forced in romanian but if you want you can use "doua" (2) before "aripi"

agree  corin: Only that, speaking of forced expressions, I'd replace "in spatele umerilor tai" with "pe umeri" (="on your shoulders"). Sounds better, doesn't it?

  -> I agree with you. It was my intention to use "pe umer" but I wasn't sure why Mido didn't use "on your shoulders" . But yes, on your shoulders sounds better in both languages
agree  Elvira Stoianov: agree with Corin, yours sounds a bit awkward
