Special thanks to Meirs for his answer. Thanks also to Carmen Balan for her answer.

This was not any easy question to vote on. I like both Meirs" and Carmen's answers.

I voted for Meirs' answer because it was in a more formal Romanian which is more what I was looking for. However, Carmen's translation is a nice example of colloquial Romanian.

Thanks again,
Noroc! - Good luck!

Sincerely,
