Questions & Answers about Trimitem un mesaj direct.

What does trimitem mean, exactly?

Trimitem is the 1st person plural present tense form of the verb a trimite, which means to send.

So trimitem = we send.

That is why the whole sentence has a subject of we, even though noi is not written.

Why isn’t the word for we included?

In Romanian, subject pronouns are often left out because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

• trimitem = we send
• trimit = I send
• trimiți = you send
• trimite = he/she sends

So Trimitem un mesaj direct is perfectly natural without noi.

You could say Noi trimitem un mesaj direct, but that usually adds emphasis, like We are the ones sending a direct message.

What is un doing here?

Un is the indefinite article meaning a or an.

• un mesaj = a message

Because mesaj is a masculine singular noun, it takes un in the singular.

Compare:

• un mesaj = a message
• mesajul = the message

So this sentence is talking about a direct message, not the direct message.
