How Romanian Verb Conjugation Works
Romanian is the only Romance language in Eastern Europe, and its verb system reflects both its Latin roots and contact with Slavic and other Balkan languages. Verbs conjugate for person and number across multiple tenses and moods.
Romanian verbs are organized into four conjugation groups based on the infinitive ending:
- Group I — verbs ending in -a (a lucra, a da, a mânca)
- Group II — verbs ending in -ea (a vedea, a putea, a bea)
- Group III — verbs ending in -e (a face, a merge, a scrie)
- Group IV — verbs ending in -i or -î (a veni, a dormi, a citi)
A key feature of Romanian is the perfect compus (compound past), formed with the auxiliary a avea (to have) + the past participle. The subjunctive, formed with să + verb, is used far more often than in other Romance languages and replaces the infinitive in many constructions.
