Verificăm altitudinea și prognoza meteo.

Verificăm is the 1st person plural present tense form of a verifica = to check / to verify.

So it means we check, we are checking, or sometimes let’s check, depending on context.

Romanian often uses the simple present where English might use either:

• we check
• we’re checking

Romanian often drops the subject pronoun when the verb form already makes the subject clear.

• verificăm already shows we
• so noi verificăm is possible, but usually unnecessary

You would add noi only for emphasis or contrast:

• Noi verificăm altitudinea... = We’re the ones checking the altitude...

Altitudinea means the altitude.

Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun, not as a separate word before it.

So:

• altitudine = altitude
• altitudinea = the altitude

The ending -a here is the definite article for this feminine singular noun.

They are two different forms of the same noun:

• prognoză = a forecast
• prognoza = the forecast

In this sentence, you need the definite form because the meaning is the weather forecast, not just a weather forecast.

Meteo is a very common Romanian word related to weather / meteorological conditions.

In prognoza meteo, it works like a short, everyday equivalent of:

• prognoza meteorologică

So:

• prognoza meteo = the weather forecast
• prognoza meteorologică = a more formal/full version

Meteo is extremely common in everyday Romanian.

Yes. Prognoza vremii is also very natural and common.

Both mean the weather forecast:

• prognoza meteo = very common, modern, concise
• prognoza vremii = also common, perhaps a bit more transparent for learners because vreme means weather

So both are correct in normal Romanian.

Because both altitudinea and prognoza meteo are direct objects of the verb verificăm.

The structure is simply:

• Verificăm = we check
• altitudinea = the altitude
• și = and
• prognoza meteo = the weather forecast

So Romanian works here much like English:

• We check the altitude and the weather forecast.

Și means and.

It is pronounced approximately like shee, but in fast speech it can sound shorter, closer to sh’ before another word.

Important spelling point:

• ș = the sh sound

So și is not pronounced like English see.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

veh-ree-feh-KUM al-tee-TOO-dee-nyah sh prog-NOH-zah MEH-teh-oh

A few notes:

• verificăm has stress on the last syllable: -căm
• altitudinea is pronounced with -ni-a together, roughly nee-ya
• și may sound very short before the next word
• meteo is usually pronounced clearly as meh-teh-oh

Not completely. Romanian word order is fairly flexible.

The given sentence is perfectly natural:

• Verificăm altitudinea și prognoza meteo.

But you could also say:

• Verificăm prognoza meteo și altitudinea.

That would still be correct, but it may slightly change what feels more prominent or more natural in context.

The original version sounds like a straightforward neutral statement.

In many everyday contexts, a verifica often translates naturally as to check.

Although it is related to English verify, in Romanian it is used very commonly for ordinary checking:

• checking altitude
• checking a document
• checking the forecast

So in this sentence, check is the most natural English equivalent.

Because the sentence refers to specific things that the speakers are checking:

• the altitude
• the weather forecast

Romanian often uses the definite form in places where English also uses the.

That is why you see:

• altitudinea = the altitude
• prognoza = the forecast

Yes, depending on context.

Romanian present tense can sometimes cover an English suggestion, especially in practical situations:

• Verificăm altitudinea și prognoza meteo.

Depending on tone and situation, it may mean:

• We check the altitude and the weather forecast
• We’re checking the altitude and the weather forecast
• Let’s check the altitude and the weather forecast

If you wanted a more explicit let’s, Romanian could also use other structures, but this sentence can definitely have that practical let’s do this now feeling in context.
