How do you handle Moldova vs. Romania regional differences for vocabulary?

Posted by u/Heritagelearnertry_775 / May 30, 2026

I’ve been learning Romanian for about six months, but my partner is from Chișinău and uses some words that my online course describes as 'archaic' or purely regional. I want to sound natural when speaking with his family, but I’m worried about mixing up regionalisms and sounding unprofessional in standard Romanian. Is there a guide for navigating these vocabulary nuances?
