Măsurăm doi metri.

Măsurăm is the 1st person plural present tense of the verb a măsura, meaning to measure.

So it can mean:

• we measure
• we are measuring

Romanian present tense often covers both the simple present and the present continuous, depending on context.

Because -ăm is the normal ending for we in many Romanian verbs of this type.

The verb is a măsura. Its present-tense forms are:

• eu măsor = I measure
• tu măsori = you measure
• el/ea măsoară = he/she measures
• noi măsurăm = we measure
• voi măsurați = you all measure
• ei/ele măsoară = they measure

So măsurăm specifically tells you the subject is we, even if noi is not written.

Romanian often drops subject pronouns when the verb ending already makes the subject clear.

So:

• Măsurăm doi metri.

  already clearly means:

• We measure / We are measuring two meters.

You could add noi for emphasis:

• Noi măsurăm doi metri.

But in normal speech, it is usually unnecessary.

It can depend on context.

Romanian a măsura can be used:

1. Transitively: to measure something

   • Măsurăm doi metri de sfoară. = We are measuring two meters of rope.

2. With a dimension meaning: to have a certain measurement

   • Masa măsoară doi metri. = The table measures two meters.

So Măsurăm doi metri could, in the right context, mean we measure two meters or we are two meters tall/long, though the second is less common with we unless the context makes it clear.

Because metru is a masculine noun.

In Romanian, 2 has two forms:

• doi for masculine nouns
• două for feminine nouns

So:

• doi metri = two meters
• două case = two houses

Since metru is masculine, the correct form is doi.

Because the number is two, so the noun must be plural.

• singular: un metru = one meter
• plural: doi metri = two meters

This is similar to English: one meter vs two meters.

Because in Romanian, after verbs like a măsura, the measurement usually comes directly.

So Romanian says:

• Măsoară doi metri.
• Camera măsoară cinci metri.

not something like measures at two meters.

This is one of those patterns you simply learn as part of how the verb works.

No. Romanian normally does not use an article in this kind of measurement expression.

So:

• doi metri = two meters

is already complete.

You would only add articles in other contexts, for example if you were talking about the two meters specifically:

• cei doi metri

But in a basic measurement statement, no article is needed.

A simple approximate pronunciation is:

muh-soo-RUM dohy MEH-tree

A few helpful notes:

• ă is a short central vowel, something like the a in sofa
• ș would sound like sh, but this sentence has plain s
• r is usually rolled or tapped
• metri is roughly MEH-tree

The stress is usually:

• măsuRĂM
• DOI
• MEtri

Yes, but Măsurăm doi metri is the most neutral order.

Possible variations include:

• Noi măsurăm doi metri. — adds emphasis to we
• Doi metri măsurăm. — possible, but marked or context-dependent

Romanian word order is somewhat flexible, but the basic neutral structure here is:

verb + measurement

Yes, but whether it sounds natural depends on context.

On its own, Măsurăm doi metri may sound a little incomplete in everyday conversation, because listeners may wonder:

• Who is “we”?
• What exactly is two meters?
• Are we measuring something, or are we saying a length/height?

In real use, you might hear fuller versions such as:

• Măsurăm doi metri de material. = We are measuring two meters of fabric.
• Masa măsoară doi metri. = The table measures two meters.

So the sentence is grammatically fine, but context matters a lot.
