Atașez dovada achiziției la formularul de retur.

Atașez means I attach, I am attaching, or I enclose, depending on context.

It is the 1st person singular present tense of a atașa = to attach.

In practical Romanian, especially in emails, forms, or customer-service messages, the present tense is often used for an action happening right now:

• Atașez documentul. = I am attaching the document.

So in this sentence, Atașez is a very natural way to say that the speaker is including something with the form.

Romanian often drops the subject pronoun when it is already clear from the verb ending.

Here, atașez already tells you the subject is I:

• atașez = I attach
• atașezi = you attach
• atașează = he/she attaches

So Eu atașez... is possible, but eu is usually unnecessary unless you want emphasis:

• Eu atașez dovada, nu colegul meu. = I’m attaching the proof, not my colleague.

Because dovada is the definite form of dovadă.

• dovadă = proof / a proof
• dovada = the proof

Romanian usually adds the definite article to the end of the noun, not as a separate word like English the.

So:

• dovadă = proof
• dovada = the proof

In this sentence, the speaker means a specific proof: the proof of purchase.

Achiziției is the genitive singular definite form of achiziție = purchase / acquisition.

The phrase:

• dovada achiziției

means:

• the proof of the purchase
• more naturally in English, proof of purchase

This is a very common Romanian structure:

• cartea profesorului = the teacher’s book
• ușa casei = the door of the house
• dovada achiziției = proof of purchase

So achiziției shows possession or relationship: the proof of the purchase.

Yes. Both are possible, but they feel slightly different in tone.

• dovada achiziției = more formal, administrative, business-like
• dovada cumpărării = also correct, often a bit more everyday and transparent for learners

In customer-service or legal/formal contexts, achiziție is very common. So the original sentence sounds natural and professional.

Here la means something like to or with in the sense of attaching one thing to another.

So:

• Atașez dovada achiziției la formularul de retur. means:
• I attach the proof of purchase to the return form.

Romanian often uses a atașa ceva la ceva:

• Atașez poza la mesaj. = I attach the photo to the message.
• Atașez documentul la cerere. = I attach the document to the application/request.

So la is the normal preposition with a atașa in this kind of construction.

Because formularul is the form, not just a form.

• formular = form
• formularul = the form

So:

• formularul de retur = the return form

This refers to a specific form, probably the one required in the return process.

In Romanian, phrases like X de Y often work like X for Y or Y X in English.

So:

• formular de retur = return form
• literally, form of return

After de, the second noun often stays indefinite:

• bilet de avion = plane ticket
• sală de sport = gym
• formular de retur = return form

That is why you get:

• formularul de retur = the return form

The article goes on formularul, not on retur.

The given word order is the most natural and clear:

• Atașez dovada achiziției la formularul de retur.

Romanian word order is fairly flexible, but changing it can sound marked or less natural. For example:

• Atașez la formularul de retur dovada achiziției.

This is still understandable, but the original order is smoother in normal formal writing.

A good rule for learners: with sentences like this, Romanian often prefers:

• verb + direct object + prepositional phrase

So:

• Atașez
  • dovada achiziției
    • la formularul de retur

Yes, it sounds neutral to formal, which fits customer service, returns, emails, and administrative communication.

It is not overly stiff, but it is definitely more formal than casual speech.

In a real message, you might also see:

• Atașez dovada achiziției.
• Am atașat dovada achiziției la formularul de retur.
• Vă atașez dovada achiziției.

The version with Vă atașez is especially common in polite communication and means I am attaching for you...

Yes.

• Atașez = I attach / I am attaching
• Am atașat = I attached / I have attached

In emails and online forms, both can work:

• Atașez dovada achiziției... focuses on the act of attaching right now
• Am atașat dovada achiziției... emphasizes that the attachment has already been added

Both are natural. The present tense often feels a bit more direct and procedural.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

a-TA-shez DO-va-da a-ki-zi-TSI-ei la for-mu-LA-rul de re-TUR

A few useful points:

• ș sounds like sh in ship
• ț sounds like ts in cats
• ă is a short central vowel, somewhat like the weak vowel in sofa
• achiziției is the trickiest word; the ending -ției contains the ts sound

Word stress:

• atașez → stress on the last syllable
• dovada → usually stress on va
• achiziției → stress earlier in the word, around zi
• formularul → stress on la
• retur → stress on the last syllable

It can mean both.

Romanian a atașa works for:

• physically attaching one thing to another
• adding a document, file, receipt, or proof to a message or form

In this sentence, because of dovada achiziției and formularul de retur, it most naturally means including/attaching the proof of purchase with the return form, whether digitally or on paper.

So it is broader than just email attachments.
