Questions & Answers about Tipăresc dovada achiziției și o atașez.

What form are tipăresc and atașez?
Both are 1st person singular present tense forms, so the subject is I. The dictionary forms are a tipări = to print and a atașa = to attach. Romanian often leaves out eu because the verb ending already shows the person.
Why do the two verbs end differently: tipăresc but atașez?
Because Romanian verbs follow different present-tense patterns. A tipări forms the 1st person singular with -esc: tipăresc. A atașa forms it with -ez: atașez. This is something you usually learn with each verb, not something you can always predict from English.
Why is it dovada and not dovadă?
Dovadă means a proof, while dovada means the proof. Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun, so the final -a here works like English the. That is why dovada is definite.
Why is achiziției in that form?
Achiziției is the genitive singular form of achiziție, and here it means of the purchase. So dovada achiziției is literally the proof of the purchase. That is the normal Romanian structure for what English often expresses as proof of purchase.
What does o mean here?
O means it. It is a direct object pronoun referring back to dovada, which is a feminine singular noun. Because the noun is feminine singular, Romanian uses o.
Why is o placed before atașez?
In a normal statement, Romanian unstressed object pronouns usually go before the conjugated verb. So o atașez is the natural order for I attach it. You often see pronouns after the verb in other structures, especially positive commands, such as Atașeaz-o! = Attach it!
Why isn’t eu written in the sentence?
Romanian is a pro-drop language, which means the subject pronoun is often omitted when the verb already makes it clear. Tipăresc and atașez already tell you the subject is I. You would add eu mainly for emphasis or contrast.
Why are the verbs in the present tense?
Romanian uses the present tense not only for actions happening right now, but also for routine actions and steps in a process. So this sentence can describe what the speaker is doing now, or what they normally do as part of a procedure. That is very natural in Romanian.
Why is there no pe before dovada?
Because pe is mainly used with specific human or sometimes animate direct objects. Dovada is an inanimate thing, so pe is not used. For example, you say Îl văd pe Andrei, but not pe dovada.
How do I pronounce the special Romanian letters in this sentence?

The main ones are:

ă in tipăresc: a short neutral sound, like the a in sofa
ș in și and atașez: like English sh
ț in achiziției: like ts in cats

So și sounds roughly like shee, and atașez has a clear sh sound in the middle.
