Questions & Answers about Medicul resuscitează un bărbat ca și cum ar fi inconștient.
Why is medicul translated as the doctor and un bărbat as a man?
Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like the.
- medic = doctor
- medicul = the doctor
By contrast, the indefinite article is a separate word:
- un bărbat = a man
So in this sentence:
- Medicul = the doctor
- un bărbat = a man
This is a very common Romanian pattern.
What form is resuscitează?
Resuscitează is the 3rd person singular present tense of the verb a resuscita.
So:
- a resuscita = to resuscitate
- eu resuscitez = I resuscitate
- el/ea resuscitează = he/she resuscitates
Because the subject is medicul (the doctor), Romanian uses the he/she form:
- Medicul resuscitează... = The doctor resuscitates... / The doctor is resuscitating...
Romanian present tense can often correspond to either English simple present or present progressive, depending on context.
