Romanians (in Finnish romanialaiset) are people from Romania.

Roma (in Finnish romanit) are ethnic groups originally from India who now live in many differents parts of the world. They are also called Gypsies (in Finnish mustalaiset).

There are Roma people in Romania but the two are not the same.
