Questions & Answers about Eu beau apă dimineața.

Why is Eu included in Eu beau apă dimineața? Is it necessary?

Romanian is a pro-drop language, meaning the verb ending already tells you the subject. In beau, the -u ending marks 1st person singular (“I”). Therefore, Eu is optional and only added for emphasis or clarity. Simply saying Beau apă dimineața still means “I drink water in the morning.”
