: when you are in rome be as a romanian - I need the meaning for this proverb.

I'm assuming you mean: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Romanians are from Romania, not Rome. In it's simplest forms, it means you should follow local customs, eat local food, try to fit in where you are. Sometimes it's used humorously or as an excuse to try something wild.
