main subject of the sentence."I" is the 1st person singular, "we" is the plural form."You" is both singular and plural form of the 2nd person.Sometimes in English we use "you both" or "you all" formore "plurific" use :). "He" is the 3rd person view subjectfor a man/boy; "She" is the 3rd person view subject for awoman/girl; "It" is the 3rd person view subject for agenderless thing; "They" is the plural form of the 3rdperson view.

Romanian VerbsRomanian verbs have 6 different categories: a verbs, everbs, ea verbs, i verbs, verbs, and irregular.The infinitive is the ending of a verb. I told the 5 different
infinitive endings. Each of these verbs havedifferent conjugationrules. A conjugation of a verb ischanging the infinitive form to the form for a certainperson view. An irregular verb doesn't follow the originalrules set for the certain verb infinitive ending, so thereforewe call it "irregular". :).
In English, our verbs (let's say talk) only has one form ofconjugation in the present tense which is in the thirdperson singular (he/she/it talks). It adds an "s" at the end.Romanian has 6 different conjugations to describe the
view of the action of the person.Example: schia (ski) is an -a verb, so for the 1st personsingular view, -a would change to -ez --> Eu schiez.
a schia is the pure form of the verb which is like "to ski"which is the pure form of the verb in English.
In Romanian, you usually drop the subject pronounbecause the conjugation will tell its person form. Euschiez --> Schiez. However, if you want to be more polite
or to emphasize the person doing the action, the subjectpronoun does not need to be dropped.
Romanian does not have a progressive tense, or anemphatic tense. Progressive tense is the -ing conjugationin English. There is no "I am speaking" equivalent inRomanian. The emphatic tense is adding "do" before theverb, and after the subject pronoun. There is no "I dospeak" equilavent in Romanian. Those usually translateliterally to "I speak" for present tense in Romanian, butcan mean all "I speak/I am speaking/I do speak".

El/ea faceHe/she/itdoes
Ei/ele facTheymake/Theydo
"A face" is considered a regular -e verb because it followsthe usual -e verb conjugation rules in the present tense.Now for some example sentences, hooray!
Sunt obosit. - I am tired.Am o biciclet. - I have a bicycle.Unde este cartea? - Where is the book?Unde e cartea? - Where is the book?El nu are cartea. - He doesn't have the book.
Ea n-are cartea. - She doesn't have the book.Eu fac o prjitur. - I am making a cake.Facem ceva. - We are doing something.
"Este" often gets shortened to "e" in Romanian speech.
If there is nu following a verb starting with a vowel, nugets shorten "n-" and connects with the word.

Verb Conjugation RulesGet ready for a longer lesson than usual. This lessons willbasically describe the rules for Romanian verbconjugations in the simple present tense. After this, you'llbe able to conjugate most Romanian regular verbs in thesimple present tense. Just hope you find out that the verbis regular first :).
Romanian verb infinitive endings take the -a -e -ea and -iendings. -e and -ea verbs have the same basic conjugationrules. Here are the regular verb conjugation rules for thepresent tense:
-A Conjugation Verb Rules
First off, the -a infinitive ending is a little tricky, becausethey can have 2 different endings except for the 1st personplural and 2nd person plural.
Eu: -, -ezTu: -i, -eziEl/Ea: -, -eazNoi: -m, -mVoi: -ai, -aiEi/Ele: -, -eaz
a spera (to hope)
Singular Plural
Eu sper Noi sperm
Tu speri Voi sperai

-E Conjugation Verb Rules
-e and -ea verbs only have 2 different regular endings onthe 1sg, and 3pl, but I know there is a rule for this. The -eor -ea verbs take -u in the 1sg and 3pl conjugations if theroot ends in a vowel
Eu: -, (-u)Tu: -i
El/Ea: -eNoi: -emVoi: -eiEi/Ele: -
a merge (to go)

DatesIf you want to specify a date in Romanian (so you don'tconfuse them with the day as the month and the month asthe day :) ). You would say it like this.
1 Ian 2004 3:30 (1 Ianuarie 2004 3:30)9 Apr 2004 1:15 (9 Apr 2004 1:15)19 Iul 2004 11:40 (19 Iulie 2004 11:40)
If you want to say you're going somewhere or doingsomething and you want to specify the day you say,Eu merg la bucureti luni - I'm going to BucharestMondayNo preposition needed.If you want to stress you're going on Monday (put moreemphasis that you are) you say,Eu merg luni la bucureti
If you want to say you go somewhere repeatedly and youwant to specify the date you say,
Lunea merg la bucureti - I go to Bucharest on Mondays
If you want to specify the exact date you use thepreposition "pe". Just look at the example. :)Merg la bucureti pe 1 martie 2004. - I'm going toBucharest on March 1st, 2004.

Indefinite ArticlesIndefinite articles in English are "a", "an", and "some". Inhere, we will learn the indefinite articles in Romanian. It's
used like in English with a couple differences (like whennot to use them :) ).
Un - "a, an" - Indefinite article before a masculine orneuter singular nounO - "a an" - Indefinite article before a singular femininenounNite - "Some" - Indefinite article before any plural noun
*Este un om acolo. - There is a man over there.Cunosc o fat n Romnia - I know a girl in Romania.Nite copii sunt n faa ilustraia. - Some kids are infront of the illustration.

Prepositions and ConjunctionsFinally, something we should've done earlier! In thislesson, you will learn how to use the basic conjunctions(and, or, but) and basic prepositions (of, from, on, in, at,
with, without, over, under) in Romanian! Let's get started,shall we?
Conjunctions
ConjunctionsRomanian English
i andsau or
dar but
Some example sentences below
Bogdan i Alex merg. - Bogdan and Alex are going.
i can also be used like "too". The subject always comesafter i.Merg i eu. - I'm going too.Merge i Daniel. - Daniel is going too.
Vorbesc acum, sau vrei s vorbeti? - I'm speakingnow, or do you want to speak?
Da, vreau s vorbesc, dar nu m lai. - Yes, I want tospeak, but you're not letting me.

Merg la magazin - I'm going to the storeSunt la magazin - I'm at the store
Casa mea e peste deal - My house is over the hill.Pisica e sub scaun - The cat is under the chair.
Ei merg cu o persoan foarte celebr - They are goingwith a very famous person.1*Plec cu trenul - I leave by train2*Poi s vorbeti cu mine - Can you speak to me?
2*Ei merg fr tine. - They are going without you.1*If you say you .. (I'm going to bucharest by train) youuse "cu" and the instrument you use is in the definitearticle.
2*When you just say the pronoun of a person after apreposition, you don't say "fr eu/tu". Instead you say"fr mine/tine" (without me/you). Those are calledaccusative pronouns. The rest are the same in theaccusative (el, ea, noi.. him her us, etc).
De, and din can get a little complicated attimes. De expresses from or of or by (author).El nu e departe de aici - He is not far from here.De unde eti? - Where are you from? (literally: of whereare you?)O ceac de ceai - A cup of tea.

Pentru expresses "for" (a purpose).Pentru ce? - For what (purpose does this have)?
More Vocabulary WordsTo start off, I have some vocabulary words for you tolearn. Study them, and memorize them well. Andremember, when looking at the word and translation,think of the Romanian word as a picture rather than theEnglish word of it. It helps to become more fluent later on:).

Present SubjunctiveThe subjunctive is a big part in everyday Romanianspeech. This is another long lesson, so get prepared :P.Let's get started.
The subjunctive expresses wishes, wants, and can. Thesubjunctive marker is s.
Nu vrei s mergi la Bucureti? - Don't you want to go toBucharest?Da, Vreau s merg la Bucureti - Yes, I want to go toBucharest.
Pot s scriu foarte bine - I can write very well.Poi s vorbeti romnete? - Can you speak Romanian?
If you haven't seen yet. The action verb person matchesthe subjunctive verb. That's how it is in this case. Next isa list of the verbs you can use in the subjunctive.
a vrea (to want)
Singular Plural
Eu vreau Noi vrem
Tu vrei Voi vrei
El/ea vrea Ei/ele vor
a putea (can / may)
Singular Plural
Eu pot Noi putem
Tu poi Voi putei
El/ea poate Ei/ele pot
A trebui is the verb that expresses you must, you need, oryou have to do something.
Trebuie s vorbesc cu el - I need to speak to himVoi trebuie s mergei la coal - You need to go toschool.Trebuie s plecm mine - We must leave tomorrow
-
7/31/2019 Romanian Lang
38/61
If you want to say "I want you to.." you say it like this:Vreau s vezi sta! - I want you to see this!
As you probably notice, a vrea is in the 1st person
singular (vreau), while a vedea is in the 2nd personsingular (vezi). This is how it works if you want to say "Iwant you to..."
In Romanian you can't say "I need you to see this" or "youneed them to see this", instead it's just "you need to seethis" or "they need to see this". You should get it. ;)Trebuie s vezi sta! - You need to see this!
a trebui in the present tense in all persons is always"trebuie". Pretty easy ;).
There is another expression for need. "a avea nevoie de".That's only used if you need something, not need to dosomething. You can say Am nevoie de odihn - I need torest. You can say am, ai, etc.. nevoie de to do somethingonly if the something is in the subject sense, not verb.Basically "am nevoie de" translates to "i have a need of".I hope I didn't confuse you. ;) On to the subjunctive.
The subjunctive is also used with ca. ca s. Ca expresses"as" in English. Ca s basically is close to "in order to" or
"so that" in English. And ca s nu is close to "lest" inEnglish.
Merg la coal ca s nv - I'm going to school in orderto learn.El Trebuie s vorbeasc cu noi ca s nelegem - Heneeds to speak with us so that we understand.
*1 El nu-i ca noi - He is not like us
*1 Nu-i is the contraction for "nu este / e". This can also
apply to a word that ends in vowel with este as the nextword.
The subjunctive used after a preposition is used when youwant to use a verb after a preposition.
Ea mereu vorbete fr se gndeasc - she always
-
7/31/2019 Romanian Lang
39/61
speaks without thinking.
Also used for a condition, expressed with "cu condiiac". Translated to English, it's close to "only if" andliterally it means "with the condition to"
Vin la tine cu condiia s bem o bere. - I'm coming toyour place only if we can drink a beer.
The expression "la tine" means at/to your place. It's usedlike other accusative pronouns. la mine - at/to myplace, la el - at/to his place, etc.
When you want to say "let's go" or something similar to"let's" in an imperative form, you use s and the 1stperson plural verb. You can use "Hai s" to make sort of a
stronger command.S mergem! - Let's go!
Hai s bem ceva. - Let's drink something.
Also when used in a question form, it's similar to should.
S plecm? - Should we leave?Unde s merg - Where should I go?Ce s fac - what should I do?
You can say "numai s", and that closely expresses "it'sust that (subject) want" in English. Numai means "only".
Numai s vorbesc cu ea! - It's just that I want to speak toher.Numai s vin i ei - It's just that we want them to cometoo.
This is the hard part of it all, but you'll get used to it. Inthe 3rd person singular and plural, there are some changes
for the verb after the subjunctive.

Accusative CaseThe accusative case is something English doesn't reallyhave (or is very weak :P). Basically, it explains the directobject you do the action to. "I took the book". The book isin the accusative. "You saw me". Me is the accusative.

For those of you that might be confused, The onlydifferent accusative pronouns are mine and tine (me,you). The rest are the same. You usually use thosepronouns after a preposition. Those are known as the

stressed accusative pronouns. Some example sentences:
Mergi fr mine?? - Are you going without me??Trebuie s vorbesc cu tine. - I need to speak with youPot s faci ceva pentru mine? - Can you do something
for me?Trebuie s merg la ea disear. - I need to go to her placetonight.
Now you might be asking.. how would you say somethinglike "I see you" or "I love you" or even something alongthe lines of that. Well, if you keep looking down in thislesson, you will find out how. Shall we?
These next ones are called the unstressed accusativepronouns. They're basically the little words you use to
indicate who you're doing the action to. Let's go to thewords :).
Unstressed accusative pronouns
AccusativeStressed Unstressed EnglishMine M MeTine Te You
El l HimEa O HerNoi Ne Us
Voi VYou(plural)
Ei iThem(masculine)
Ele LeThem(feminine)
These pronouns always come before the verb: M vd, tevd, l vad o vd, etc. Here are some example sentencesbelow.
l vd! I see him!Poi s m auzi? - Can you hear me?
At times you can add both the stressed and unstressed
-
7/31/2019 Romanian Lang
44/61
forms for more emphasis when it's not needed, or be usedindependently. Always use 'pe' before the stressed form.Example sentence.
Te Iubesc pe tine.
Pe mine?Da, pe tine!I love you(you love) me?Yes, you!
"Te iubesc tine" cannot work. A stressed accusativepronoun always has to have a preposition. Speaking moreof 'pe'. You also use it before a person that everyoneknows, a name of a person or animal, or toy doll, teddy-bear.. somewhere along those lines that have to do with an
inanimate object being a metaphor for a person. If it's ageneral person, character, animal, or a location, you don'tuse 'pe'.
