Numărăm până la o sută.

Numărăm is the 1st person plural present tense form of the verb a număra, meaning to count.

So numărăm means:

• we count
• we are counting

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

Romanian often drops subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

Here, the ending -ăm tells you it is we:

• număr = I count
• numeri = you count
• numărăm = we count

So Numărăm până la o sută is perfectly complete without noi.

You could say Noi numărăm până la o sută, but that adds emphasis, like We are the ones counting to one hundred.

Până means until or up to, and la is often added before a noun phrase that marks the endpoint.

So:

• până la o sută = up to one hundred

This is the normal Romanian pattern when talking about reaching a number, place, or point in time.

Examples:

• până la zece = up to ten
• până la București = as far as Bucharest
• până la ora cinci = until five o’clock

No, that would not sound natural in standard Romanian.

With a phrase like o sută, Romanian normally uses până la:

• până la o sută ✅
• până o sută ❌

There are cases where până appears without la, but usually with adverbs or clauses, for example:

• până mâine = until tomorrow
• până vine el = until he comes

Because sută is a feminine noun in Romanian.

The word for one changes for gender:

• un for masculine or neuter singular nouns
• o for feminine singular nouns

So:

• o sută = one hundred
• un milion = one million

This is why o sută is correct.

Yes. In Romanian, sută behaves like a noun meaning hundred.

That is why it can show number and combine with other numerals:

• o sută = one hundred
• două sute = two hundred
• trei sute = three hundred

This is a little different from how English learners sometimes think of hundred.

It includes 100.

In a counting context, Numărăm până la o sută means you keep counting until you reach 100, and 100 is the final number said.

So the sense is:

• 1, 2, 3 ... 100

not:

• 1, 2, 3 ... 99

This sentence has both of them:

• numărăm → contains ă
• până → contains â
• sută → contains ă

A simple guide:

• ă is like the weak vowel in English about
• â is a special Romanian sound with no exact English equivalent; it is a central, tight vowel

A rough pronunciation guide:

• numărăm ≈ noo-muh-RUHM
• până ≈ PÎ-nuh
• sută ≈ SOO-tuh

Also, the stress is usually:

• nu-mə-RĂM
• PÂ-nə
• SU-tə

Not quite.

Numărăm până la o sută is literally We count to one hundred or We are counting to one hundred.

If you want the more natural Romanian equivalent of Let’s count to one hundred, Romanian usually says:

• Să numărăm până la o sută.

That să + verb structure is very common for let’s ... in Romanian.

So:

• Numărăm până la o sută. = We count / We are counting to one hundred.
• Să numărăm până la o sută. = Let’s count to one hundred.

The given order is the normal, neutral one:

• Numărăm până la o sută.

Romanian word order is somewhat flexible, so other orders are possible for emphasis, but they sound more marked.

For example:

• Până la o sută numărăm.

That can work, but it emphasizes up to one hundred. For most situations, learners should stick with the original order.

Because sută is the last word in the number phrase here.

Romanian often uses de after larger numbers when a noun follows:

• o sută de elevi = one hundred students
• două sute de pagini = two hundred pages

But if the number stands alone, there is no de:

• o sută = one hundred

So Numărăm până la o sută is correct exactly as it is.
