Daily check-in in Romanian for your parents (Română)
Daily WhatsApp check-ins and calls in Romanian for your parents, wherever they live. See the exact messages they get and the replies they can give.
Millions of Romanians and Moldovans work abroad — in Italy, Spain, Germany, the UK and France — while their parents stay in the towns and villages at home, often alone. WhatsApp is how most of those families keep in touch.
The check-in uses "dumneavoastră", as one speaks to an elder, and avoids forms that change with gender, so it reads right for a mother or a father. Replies typed without diacritics ("ma simt rau") are understood too.
What your parent sees, in Romanian
These are the real messages, exactly as they are sent. The English under each one is for you; your parent sees only the Romanian.
If they do not answer
About three hours later your parent gets a gentle reminder in Romanian. In the countries our phone call reaches — 25 countries, including India, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar — a phone call in Romanian follows. If there is still no answer, you are alerted, and then the local contacts you chose. Which countries, and their emergency numbers →
Once a week
Replies in their own words
Parents do not always use the buttons. These everyday replies, typed the way people type them, are understood:
| Your parent types | Understood as |
|---|---|
| le-am luat | I have taken them |
| da, am luat | yes, taken |
| încă nu | not yet |
| nu mă simt bine | I am not feeling well |
| sunați-mă | please call |
Words that suggest an emergency — a fall, chest pain, breathlessness, in Romanian or in English — are recognised too. You are alerted at once and your parent is reminded to call the emergency number of the country they live in.
Where Romanian is spoken
Romanian is spoken in Romania and Moldova, and Romanian communities in Italy, Spain, Germany, the UK and France.
Families abroad
Romanian and Moldovan families with a parent far away live mainly in Italy, Spain, Germany, the UK, France, Belgium and Austria.
Your parent can live in almost any country: the check-in, the alerts and the emergency card quote the emergency number of the country they live in. Tests and medicine refills are arranged in India only. Parents outside India →
Questions families ask
Can my parent reply in Romanian?
Yes. They can tap the buttons, which are in Romanian, or type or speak in their own words. Replies in Romanian, including replies mixed with English, are understood.
Is the phone call also in Romanian?
Yes, in the countries our phone call reaches: 25 countries, including India, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Elsewhere the WhatsApp reminder is in Romanian, and if it is not answered you are alerted straight away.
Can each parent have a different language?
Yes. The language is set for each parent, and you can change it at any time.
Which language does the family app use?
English, Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Arabic or Indonesian — you choose. The family app is for you; your parent only uses WhatsApp and their phone.
