Cultural Note
Nervos in Romanian means both nervous (anxious) and irritated/angry, unlike in English where these are separate concepts. Context determines the meaning: 'Sunt nervos înainte de interviu' (I'm nervous before the interview) vs. 'Sunt nervos pe el' (I'm angry at him). This dual meaning can be a source of confusion for learners.
