Questions & Answers about Verifică termenul de restituire înainte de a prelungi împrumutul.

Why is verifică used instead of verifici?

Verifică is the 2nd person singular imperative form, so it means check! or you should check.

• verifici = you check / you are checking (present tense)
• verifică = check! (command/instruction to one person)

So the sentence is giving an instruction, which is why Romanian uses the imperative.

Is the subject you missing from the sentence?

Yes. In Romanian, the subject is often left out because the verb ending already shows who the subject is.

So:

• Verifică by itself already means Check (you)!

Romanian does this very often, especially with commands and ordinary statements.

What does termenul de restituire mean literally?

Literally, termenul de restituire means something like the return deadline or the due date for returning.

Breaking it down:

• termenul = the term / the deadline
• de restituire = for returning / of return

In context, this usually refers to the date by which a borrowed item must be given back.
