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:

This is normal Romanian structure.

Does verificăm mean we check or we are checking?

It can mean either one, depending on context.

Romanian does not usually have a separate verb form like English we are checking for the continuous meaning. The simple present verificăm can cover both:

  • we check
  • we are checking

Context tells you which is meant.

What gender is preț, and does that matter here?

Preț is a neuter noun.

In Romanian, neuter nouns behave:

That is why in the singular you get prețul, with the masculine/neuter singular definite article ending -ul.

How do you pronounce the special letters in prețul and verificăm?

Two important letters here are:

A rough pronunciation guide:

  • verificăm ≈ veh-ree-fee-KUM
  • prețul ≈ PREH-tsul
  • total ≈ toh-TAL

The stress is usually:

  • verificăm
  • prețul
  • total
Could I also say Noi verificăm prețul total?

Yes, that is grammatically correct.

But in normal Romanian, noi is often unnecessary because verificăm already shows we. Adding noi usually gives extra emphasis, for example if you want to contrast we with someone else.

So the shorter Verificăm prețul total is the most neutral version.
