Slowly but surely: e–commerce market in Romania

In spite of the fact that Romanian internet users generally like

or even love shopping, they remain cautious about buying on the internet
and may consider it risky. The high awareness of the online shopping
option they display does not go alongside with their personal experience,
which among Romanian internet users is quite moderate level. These
are some of the conclusions that may be drawn from the latest report
ǁE-commerce 2011: trends and attitudes. Research into Romanian internet
usersǁ.
What will be the Romanian e-commerce future like? Raluca
Georgescu, Country Manager of Allegro Group Romania says that the
e- commerce market in Romania is still at its early stage, but it is
continuously growing as online shopping is gaining more and more
popularity among internet users. The recent expansion of group buying
websites in Romania is also helping to boost e-commerce activities. We
expect new offline players to come online in the next 2 years, helping
develop the market overall. New products facilitating and securing online
payments will help to overcome the main obstacle which is the lack of
trust and thus will contribute to the e- commerce development in
Romania. (http://www.gemius.com/pl/archives/2011-10-04/01)

2.3.2. Language awareness: word families

Word families can be defined as a group of words that share
a common base, to which different prefixes and suffixes are added, or Word
families are groups of words that are sufficiently closely related to each
other to form a 'family'.
Words can be grouped into families in two main ways: they are
similar in form;
their meanings are related.
Here are two examples of form-based word families:
word - wordy - word (verb) - wording - word-list … (but not: worth, worry)
family - familiar - unfamiliar - familiarity - familiarise … (but not:
famine,
famous)
Each of these families is bonded by a common root word,
although the resultant connections of meaning are also an important
bonding feature.
Here are two examples of meaning-based word families:
big - little - size
dog - puppy – kennel
