Questions & Answers about Andrei aduce telefonul la ședință.

What does aduce mean and which tense is it?

aduce is the third-person singular present indicative of a aduce (“to bring”). So Andrei aduce means “Andrei brings” or “Andrei is bringing.”

Why is telefonul used instead of telefon?

Romanian marks the definite article as a suffix on the noun. telefon = “a phone”; telefonul = “the phone.”

How do you form the definite article on Romanian nouns?

• For singular masculine nouns you add -ul or -le (e.g., băiat → băiatul, om → omul).
• For singular feminine nouns you add -a (e.g., casă → casa, ședință → ședința).

Why is there no article on ședință after la? Shouldn’t it be la ședința?

After certain prepositions of motion or participation (like la), Romanian often drops the article to express “to the X” generically—similar to a merge la școală (“to go to school”). La ședință naturally means “to the meeting.” You can say la ședința, but it sounds more marked or emphasizes exactly that particular meeting.
