Etymology
Romanian "oh" is a natural exclamation, a spontaneous vocal sound rather than a word built from older roots. Interjections like this arise independently across languages because they mimic the sound people make when startled, moved, or in pain. Romanian shares the form with French, Italian, Spanish, German, and English, but this overlap reflects shared human vocal instinct more than descent from a common ancestor word.
