disagree  Anca Tolea: paper with pictures and greetings: a piece of stiff paper, usually folded in half and with designs or illustrations, used to send greetings of various kinds, especially on birthdays and holidays (encarta), deci nu as traduce card cu carte postala

felicitari/salutari


Explanation:
Eu stiu ca englezii spun cards cind e felicitare scrisa si spun greetings cind trimit salutari cuiva, si oral nu doar scris. Carte postala e postcard.
