Questions & Answers about Descărcăm duba.

What form is descărcăm?

Descărcăm is the 1st person plural present tense of a descărca.

So it means we unload or we are unloading.

Why is there no word for we in the sentence?

For example, Noi descărcăm duba, ei încarcă mașina = We unload the van, they load the car.
