Appendix:Romanian parts of speech

Pronouns

As in Italian, pronouns are generally omitted in Romanian unless required to disambiguate the meaning of a sentence. Usually, the verb ending provides information about the subject.

		Singular	Plural
1st Person		eu - I	noi - we
2nd Person	familiar	tu - you	voi - you
	polite	dumneavoastră - you	dumneavoastră - you
3rd Person	familiar	ea - she el - he	ele - they (f) ei - they (m)
	polite	dumneaei - she dumnealui - he	dumnealor - they

Nouns

Unlike the other Romance languages, Romanian has three genders: masculine, feminine and neuter, keeping the neuter gender from Latin. Nouns of this gender use the masculine form for the singular and the feminine form for the plural.

Another peculiarity of Romanian is that it is the only Romance language that has the definite article attached to the end of the noun (as in Swedish) instead of being a separate word in front.

Gender	Noun	Definite article	Noun with article
Feminine	carte = book	-a	cartea = the book
Masculine	drum = road	-ul	drumul = the road

Verbs

Romanian has the same four groups of verbs as Latin and unlike English, it has no sequence of tenses nor strict rules regarding their use, but it does have many alternatives (for example, it has six different types of future tense).
