Verbs

 

The next level has arrived. Now we will conjugate two great unsung heroes of the Romanian verbs. A trece and a se gândi.

A trece (to cross, pass exams).

Trec	I cross
Treci	You cross
Trece	He, she crosses
Trecem	We cross
Treceți	You cross

The second verb of the day is a se gândi. This verb is used a lot when you want to say that you are thinking of doing something, like going to the gym just to get girls

Mă gândesc	I think
Te gândești	You think
Se gândește	He, she thinks
Ne gândim	We think
Vă gândiți	You think
Se gândesc	They think

Mă gândesc la tine, Kati.

I’m thinking of you, Kati.

Adjectives

Today we will focus on adjectives ending in -os. The best examples from this lesson are frumos and fioros.

Here are the terminations you need to memorize in order to successfully use these adjectives:

Try to match the endings with the adjectives, in the Key Vocabulary Section we show you all the forms of this type of adjectives, so you can check if you were right.

Dialogue XXIV

Sergiu: Ce faci?

What are you doing?

Aron: Trec strada. Văd o fată foarte frumoasă și mă duc să vorbesc cu ea.

I’m crossing the street. I see a very beautiful girl and I’m going over to talk to her.

Sergiu: Ce curaj, frate!

What courage, brother! (That’s some courage you have, bro!)

Aron: Știu frate!

I know brother! (We’re not really brothers, but that’s the way they talk in Bucharest. Go shopping there, seriously. It’s awesome…also come visit Cluj, it’s a pretty nice, a pretty nice city)

Sergiu: Mai ales că e împreună cu tipul ăla fioros…

Especially because she’s together with that ferocious guy.

Aron: Frateee…

Dudeee…

Act this dialogue out with one of your friends. I read this dialogue with my creative director, because I didn’t have any friends at the time. I only started making friends after around lesson 28 or 29.
