Summary/Abstract: Both romanian folk fairy tales and literary fairy tales are very similar. This resemblance comes from the fact that their composition must follow a certain pattern, a certain structure. The characters, always antagonistic, must symbolize the good and the evil. After the conflict between them, the good overcomes each time, because the fairy tales are deeply moralizing. The language of the fairy tales also has a specific character, similar to the language of Romanian folklore. About the language used in the fairy tales we will try to talk about in this paper.
