Fă is a Romanian vocative particle used to call out to a girl or woman, the feminine counterpart to mă used for men. Its origin is not firmly settled; some scholars link it to a clipped form of fată (girl), but this is not confirmed. It belongs to a small class of short, expressive address particles found across colloquial and regional Romanian speech.
