#catch

• Hang — A regional form or popular variant of the verb 'a agăța'; the act of suspending, catching, or fixing an object to a support (hook, nail, branch) so that it hangs in the air. Contextually, it can also mean accidentally catching one's clothes on a sharp object or, figuratively, approaching someone insistently to initiate a conversation or establish a connection.
• Clingy — Easily catching or hooking onto surfaces or clothes; a material or object provided with tiny hairs, hooks, or rough edges that promote involuntary catching on external elements. In a figurative sense, it describes an overly insistent, dependent, or clingy person who attaches themselves quickly and annoyingly to someone, becoming difficult to shake off.
• To hang — A rare regional or archaic verbal form meaning to hang, to catch tightly, to climb, or to partially cover with a fabric; also used in certain local dialects to describe the provisional fixing of structural elements.
• The eagle does not catch flies — A famous Latin maxim translated literally as 'The eagle does not catch flies'; it is used as a moral, legal, or political aphorism to express the idea that a superior person, a high spirit, a powerful institution, or a valuable leader does not stoop to petty disputes, does not waste time on insignificant details, and does not deal with trivial things or unimportant people.
• Lassoing — The act of catching with a lasso and its result; an archaic method of capturing animals (especially wild horses) or people using a long lasso called an 'arcan'. Historically, it refers to the brutal practice of conscripting young men into the military by ambush and binding them with a lasso, used in the Romanian Principalities and the Habsburg Empire, which later became a recurring theme in local folklore.
• Have a little patience — A famous verbal cliché and iconic catchphrase delivered by the character Ghiță Pristanda, the policeman in Ion Luca Caragiale's comedy 'O scrisoare pierdută'; originally used to stall a conversation, calm down tempers, or mask a diplomatic hesitation, the phrase has permanently entered the Romanian phraseological lexicon as an ironic or polite formula asking someone to be patient and wait for a situation's outcome.
