Questions & Answers about O să plecăm cu metroul mâine dimineață.
What is the function of O să in this sentence?
O să is the periphrastic (compound) future marker in spoken Romanian. It combines o (a reduced form of voi, historically) with să plus a verb in the present subjunctive, and it means “will” or “going to.”
Why is the verb plecăm in this form?
After să you use the present-subjunctive form of the verb. For a pleca (“to leave”), the 1st-person-plural subjunctive is plecăm. So O să plecăm literally “We are going to leave.”
When would you use O să plecăm versus the simple future vom pleca?
