/a miroˈsi/
💡
Cultural Note
'A mirosi' works both transitively (to smell something) and intransitively (to have a smell). 'Miroase a...' (it smells of/like...) is very common. Note the irregular third person 'miroase' instead of the expected 'mirose.' Saying 'miroase urât' (it smells bad) is a polite understatement Romanians use.
