    Does anyone here have the language of the Roma beggars?

    I have them calling to the door all the time and want to put up a sign saying "No begging" in their own language.

    Would a sign in Hungarian, English, Czech and Punjabi do? This to cover the areas they come from.

    I guess no you say "Ne cerşetor", however its a bad translation and means 'No beggar'.

    Its better to say 'nici cerşetor'.

    I have a Romanian friend who can translate it better if you want.

    I think he wanted it in Romani ?sp , spoken by the Roma lads you get at the door. Maybe Romania is where your friend is from

    It's Rroma.
    I'll ask a couple of the kids at school tomorrow and get back to you.

    A sign is hoping they can read though....

    Rughisarastume
    Nai voia
    Te mangăn

    Thanks a million for your help!
    Do you have a rough idea what it says?

    It says (I hope) 'Please do not beg'.

    I had to be a bit diplomatic since the young lad I asked is himself Roma, but he had no problem with it, as his family have been in work for generations and it hurts him to think the beggars represent what most people think of as Roma.

    He's in 5th Year and hoping to join the guards. :)

    I'm romanian and i dont understand nothing what you wrote here.
    so in romanian language : '' nu cersetori '' it mean no beggers.
    but if they are gypsy it is possible to dont know to read
    or '' va rugam nu cersiti'' it means ''please do not beg''
    I just saw I answered after 4 years lol
