Questions & Answers about Ana alege oferta specială.
Why does oferta mean the offer, not just offer?
Because Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun.
- ofertă = offer
- oferta = the offer
So in this sentence, oferta specială means the special offer.
This is very common in Romanian:
- casă = house
- casa = the house
What form is alege?
alege is the 3rd person singular present tense of the verb a alege = to choose.
So:
- eu aleg = I choose
- tu alegi = you choose
- el/ea alege = he/she chooses
In Ana alege oferta specială, Ana is a third-person singular subject, so alege is the correct form.
What does the dictionary form a alege mean, and why isn’t the first a used here?
In Romanian dictionaries, verbs are usually listed with a + infinitive:
- a alege = to choose
That first a is like English to. It is not used when the verb is conjugated in a normal sentence.
So:
- a alege = to choose
- Ana alege = Ana chooses
