Recrutorul verifică CV-ul.

-ul is the definite article attached to the end of the noun. Romanian usually puts the at the end of the word, not before it.

So:

• recrutor = recruiter
• recrutorul = the recruiter

This is very common in Romanian. Compare:

• băiat = boy
• băiatul = the boy

In this sentence, recrutorul is a masculine singular noun in the form used for the subject.

The hyphen appears because CV is an abbreviation, and Romanian attaches the definite article to abbreviations with a hyphen.

So:

• CV = CV / résumé
• CV-ul = the CV

This is similar to how Romanian handles many abbreviations and foreign-looking forms. Since CV is read letter by letter, the article is added with a hyphen to make the form clearer.

In Romanian pronunciation, CV is usually read as ce-ve, so CV-ul sounds like ce-ve-ul.

Verifică is the 3rd person singular present tense form of the verb a verifica = to check / to verify.

That means it is used with:

• el = he
• ea = she
• recrutorul = the recruiter

So:

• eu verific = I check
• tu verifici = you check
• el/ea verifică = he/she checks

Because recrutorul is he/she/it-type singular grammatically, the verb must be verifică.

It is in the present tense, and like the English present, it can have more than one use depending on context.

Recrutorul verifică CV-ul. can mean:

• The recruiter is checking the CV.
• The recruiter checks the CV.

Romanian present tense often covers both a general action and an action happening now. Context tells you which meaning is intended.

Because Romanian usually puts the definite article after the noun, not before it.

In this sentence:

• recrutorul = the recruiter
• CV-ul = the CV

So Romanian does have the here, but it is built into the nouns themselves.

This is one of the biggest differences from English.

In this sentence, CV-ul is the direct object because it is the thing being checked.

The structure is:

• Recrutorul = subject
• verifică = verb
• CV-ul = direct object

So the sentence follows a very familiar English-like order:

Subject + Verb + Object

That makes it easy to recognize:

• The recruiter does the action
• checks is the action
• the CV receives the action

Romanian sometimes uses pe before a direct object, but mainly with people or highly specific animate beings.

For example:

• Văd recruiterul. is not natural in this meaning, but with a person as object you may get Îl văd pe recruiter.
• Văd CV-ul. = I see the CV — no pe

Because CV-ul is a thing, not a person, pe is not used here.

So:

• verifică CV-ul = correct
• verifică pe CV-ul = incorrect

Yes, Romanian word order is somewhat flexible, but Recrutorul verifică CV-ul is the most neutral and natural order.

The basic order here is:

Subject + Verb + Object

You may also see other orders for emphasis, such as:

• CV-ul îl verifică recrutorul. = It’s the CV that the recruiter is checking.

But that kind of version usually adds emphasis or contrast and may need extra words like îl.

For a learner, the standard order Recrutorul verifică CV-ul is the best pattern to remember.

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation is:

re-cru-TO-rul ve-ri-FI-că ce-ve-ul

A few helpful notes:

• recrutorul: the stress is on to
• verifică: the stress is on fi
• CV-ul is usually pronounced letter by letter: ce-ve-ul
• ă is a short central vowel, something like the a in sofa, but shorter and more central

So the full sentence sounds roughly like:

re-cru-TO-rul ve-ri-FI-că ce-ve-ul

Romanian often can leave out the subject pronoun, because the verb ending already gives information about the person.

For example:

• Verifică CV-ul. = He/She is checking the CV or Checks the CV, depending on context

But in your sentence, the subject is a full noun phrase, recrutorul, so it is included because you want to say exactly the recruiter.

What Romanian often drops is the pronoun:

• El verifică CV-ul. = He checks the CV
• Verifică CV-ul. = (He/She) checks the CV

But if you want to specify the recruiter, you normally keep recrutorul.

Yes, CV is very commonly used in Romanian, especially in job-related contexts.

People also understand expressions like:

• curriculum vitae
• sometimes rezumat profesional, depending on context

But in everyday Romanian, especially in recruiting and hiring, CV is the normal and very common term.

So Recrutorul verifică CV-ul sounds perfectly natural.
