Questions & Answers about Seara vorbesc cu copiii la telefon.

What part of speech is Seara, and what does it mean?

Seara is a temporal adverb derived from the noun seară (“evening”). Here it means “in the evening” and simply indicates when the action takes place.

Why is there no în before seara?

When you express a general time of day in Romanian, you often drop în. So you say seara rather than în seara. (You do use în in more specific phrases like în fiecare seară “every evening” or în seara asta “tonight.”)

Why is the verb vorbesc used here, and what person/tense is it?

vorbesc is the first-person singular present of a vorbi (“to speak”). It means “I speak” or “I talk.” The ending -esc tells you the subject is I, so you don’t need to add eu unless you want extra emphasis.

Can we include the pronoun eu in this sentence?

Yes. If you want to stress that you are the one speaking, you can say Seara eu vorbesc cu copiii la telefon. Grammatically it’s correct either way, but Romanian normally drops subject pronouns when the verb ending is clear.
