Questions & Answers about În weekend prefer un drum liniștit prin parc.

What does În weekend mean, and why do we use în here instead of la or pe?

“În weekend” translates to “on the weekend(s)” or “at the weekend.” In Romanian, în is regularly used with periods of time (days, months, seasons) to mean “during” or “on.” Although some speakers say la weekend, în weekend is more neutral and widely accepted.

Why is there no article before weekend? Can I say În weekendul?

Here weekend functions like an adverbial time expression and remains bare (no article) when you mean “at weekends” in general. If you want to refer to one specific upcoming weekend, you can say în weekendul acesta (“this weekend”) or în weekendul viitor (“next weekend”).

Why is the verb prefer and not preferă? How is a prefera conjugated in the present tense?

Prefer is the first-person singular present form of a prefera (“to prefer”), so it already means “I prefer.” In the present tense you get:

• eu prefer
• tu preferi
• el/ea preferă
  …etc.

Why don’t we see eu before prefer?
