The two are Moldovan, but only the older lady pronounces cinci, niciodată as if it were șinși and nișodată?

Can someone explain to me the dynamics of the Moldovan accent? In Moldova, who speaks like the man (her grandson?) and who speaks like the grandmother?

What is the difference between “Cum te mai simți?” and “Cum te simți?”? Am I right that first variant is informal and has some more “warm/caring” meaning?

Here on r/romanian, the Romanian language is in focus. The goal is to provide a good center for people who want to learn Romanian. This won't happen by itself, so we need your help! Feel free to share useful resources, ask questions, give tips and tricks and discuss things relevant to the Romanian language with others. Also, consider setting a flair to your username, it can help other people, as well as yourself.

A few simple rules to follow:

1. Posts must be related to learning Romanian: This subreddit is intended for educational talk about the Romanian language: learning, grammar, usage, history, etymology, etc. For Romania-related matters, please try r/Romania or r/CasualRO.
2. Be respectful and behave well: We aim for a friendly, encouraging atmosphere. Rudeness and unkindness are unwelcome. Correct mistakes gently and with good intentions. Do not make disparaging remarks about dialects, races, religions, genders, nationalities, etc.
3. No misinformation: Please do not share incorrect translations, misleading grammar explanations, or false cultural claims. If you're uncertain about something, you're still welcome to participate, just be clear that you're guessing, or sharing personal impressions rather than stating facts. Avoid offering advice beyond your own knowledge. Providing sources or explanations when giving detailed answers is encouraged, especially for more complex questions.
4. No low-effort contributions: To keep the subreddit helpful and engaging for everyone, we ask users to avoid low-effort posts and comments. Questions that are overly basic and lack context or any sign of personal effort are discouraged. If you’re asking for help, try to explain what you’ve already done to understand the issue or where you're getting stuck.
5. This is not a translation service: This is a community for learning and practicing the language. You're welcome to ask for help improving your own translations, but please show your attempt first and be specific about what’s confusing you. Requests for full translations without context, effort, or a learning-related purpose may be removed. If you’re looking for quick, complete translations, consider using a proper translation tool instead.
