Etymology
Auzi comes from the Latin verb audire, meaning to hear. Romanian kept the verb almost intact through everyday spoken use, while other Romance languages either replaced it or trimmed it down. Auzi itself is the second-person singular present form, and it also stands alone as a common interjection to grab someone's attention.
