Learn Romanian Verbs
Romanian preserves Latin verb features lost in other Romance languages, including a full subjunctive and a unique way of forming the future tense. Verbs are the heart of expressing yourself naturally in Romanian.
Essential Romanian phrases
Building fluency in Romanian starts with verbs. Here are some everyday phrases that rely on getting the verb form right:
Why Romanian verbs are challenging
- Romanian uses a subjunctive introduced by să in many contexts where English uses an infinitive, making it essential in everyday speech.
- Verbs fall into four conjugation groups with distinct patterns, and group membership is not always predictable from the infinitive.
- The compound perfect (am făcut) and simple perfect (făcui) coexist, with regional and stylistic differences in usage.
- Reflexive verbs are extremely common and the pronoun placement changes depending on tense and clause type.
