Angajatorul discută responsabilitatea și verifică recomandarea.

Because Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like English the.

So:

• angajator = employer
• angajatorul = the employer

This ending -ul is the masculine/neuter singular definite article in this form.

For the same reason: Romanian attaches the to the noun.

• responsabilitate = responsibility

• responsabilitatea = the responsibility

• recomandare = recommendation / reference
• recomandarea = the recommendation / the reference

In this sentence, the speaker is talking about specific things, not just the general ideas.

Because Romanian normally uses an enclitic definite article, meaning the article is attached to the end of the noun.

Compare:

• English: the employer

• Romanian: angajatorul

• English: the responsibility
• Romanian: responsabilitatea

So English uses a separate word, but Romanian usually does not.

They are both present tense, third person singular.

That means they match a subject like he, she, or it. Here they match angajatorul.

So:

• discută = discusses / is discussing
• verifică = checks / verifies / is checking

Like in many languages, the exact English translation depends on context.

Romanian often leaves out subject pronouns when they are not needed.

Since discută and verifică are clearly third person singular, Romanian does not need to say el.

So:

• Angajatorul discută... = The employer discusses...
• El discută... would also be possible, but it is usually unnecessary unless you want emphasis or contrast.

Both patterns exist, but they are slightly different in feel.

• a discuta ceva = to discuss something directly
• a discuta despre ceva = to discuss about / discuss something as a topic

So:

• discută responsabilitatea = discusses the responsibility
• discută despre responsabilitate = discusses responsibility

The version in your sentence is grammatically fine and more direct.

Romanian definite forms are not always made by simply sticking one ending onto the dictionary form in an obvious way. You usually learn the indefinite form and the definite form together.

Here:

• responsabilitate → responsabilitatea
• recomandare → recomandarea

This is a normal pattern for many feminine nouns.

A practical tip: treat the definite form as a real inflected form of the noun, not as a separate word you can always build mechanically in English-style thinking.

Because pe is usually used before specific human or animate direct objects, not ordinary inanimate nouns like recomandarea.

For example:

• Văd angajatorul. = I see the employer.
• Îl văd pe angajator. = I see the employer.
  Here pe can appear because the object is a person.

But with things:

• verifică recomandarea = checks the reference / recommendation

No pe is needed.

Literally, it means the recommendation, but in job-related contexts it can often mean something like:

• a reference
• a recommendation letter
• a professional recommendation

So the exact English wording depends on context. In employment language, reference is often the most natural interpretation.

The sentence uses a very common neutral Romanian word order:

Subject + Verb + Object

• Angajatorul = subject
• discută = verb
• responsabilitatea = object
• și verifică recomandarea = and checks the recommendation/reference

Romanian word order is more flexible than English, but this version sounds neutral and straightforward.

Yes, Romanian allows more flexibility than English, especially for emphasis.

For example:

• Angajatorul verifică recomandarea și discută responsabilitatea.
• Responsabilitatea o discută angajatorul...
  This is more marked and puts focus on responsabilitatea.

Even though reordering is possible, the original sentence is the most neutral and easiest for learners to follow.

Two very useful pronunciation points:

• ă is a short neutral vowel, like the a in about
• ș is like English sh

So:

• discută sounds roughly like dis-KOO-tuh
• verifică sounds roughly like veh-ree-FEE-cuh
• și sounds like shi

Also, standard Romanian spelling uses the diacritic in și. You may sometimes see si in casual typing, but și is the correct standard form.

The dictionary forms are:

• angajator = employer
• a discuta = to discuss
• responsabilitate = responsibility
• și = and
• a verifica = to verify / check
• recomandare = recommendation / reference

This is useful because Romanian dictionaries normally list nouns in the indefinite singular and verbs in the infinitive.
