Questions & Answers about Verificăm prețul total.
What person and tense is verificăm?
Verificăm is 1st person plural, present tense of a verifica.
So the ending -ăm here tells you the subject is we. Romanian verbs usually carry enough information that the subject pronoun does not have to be stated.
Why is there no word for we in the sentence?
Romanian often drops subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.
So Verificăm by itself already means we check / we are checking.
You could say Noi verificăm prețul total, but noi would usually add emphasis, like we in particular.
Why is it prețul and not just preț?
Because Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like English the.
- preț = price
- prețul = the price
So prețul total is literally something like price-the total, but naturally it corresponds to the total price.
Why does total come after prețul?
In Romanian, adjectives often come after the noun in the normal, neutral word order.
So:
- preț total = total price
- prețul total = the total price
Putting the adjective after the noun is very common and sounds natural here.
Why isn’t the adjective marked with the definite article too?
Because in this kind of phrase, Romanian normally marks definiteness on the noun, not on both words.
So prețul total is the standard pattern:
- prețul = the price
- total agrees as an adjective, but it does not get its own separate definite article here
This is normal Romanian structure.
Does verificăm mean we check or we are checking?
What gender is preț, and does that matter here?
How do you pronounce the special letters in prețul and verificăm?
Two important letters here are:
- ț in prețul: pronounced like ts in cats
- ă in verificăm: a short central vowel, similar to the weak vowel in the final sound of sofa
A rough pronunciation guide:
- verificăm ≈ veh-ree-fee-KUM
- prețul ≈ PREH-tsul
- total ≈ toh-TAL
The stress is usually:
- verificăm
- prețul
- total
