Street Conversation VIII

The last conversation was so good, that I decided to focus on feelings this week as well. I was not disappointed.

 

Sergiu: Ce e cu tine?

What’s wrong with you?

Girl: Hmmm, îs* nervoasă.

Hmmm, I’m angry.

Sergiu: Serios, de ce?

Really, why?

Girl: M-au concediat şeful.

The boss fired me. (Small error, she should have said M-a concediat şeful.)

*Regional version of sunt.

Grammar VIII

Verbs

 

Today we will learn some basic verbs that will help you show off what you can or can not do (or say)

Spun	I say
Spui	You say
Spune	He, she says
Spunem	We say
Spuneți	You say
Spun	They say

 

Pot	I can
Poți	You can
Poate	He, she can
Putem	We can
Puteți	You can
Pot	They can

The first verbs are always the hardest, especially since the most common ones are irregular. Later we will see that the verbs are not going to be so crazy.

Adjectives

One exception that you will see in a few adjectives is the change from -ist to -iști.

For example the masculine plural form of Trist is Triști. Adjectives ending in -ist will behave like this.
