Questions & Answers about Este posibil să plouă diseară.

What does Este posibil mean here?

It literally means “It is possible.” Romanian drops the dummy “it” in impersonal expressions, so Este posibil by itself conveys “It is possible.”

Why is there a să before plouă?

After impersonal phrases like este posibil, Romanian uses să + subjunctive to express possibility, obligation, or wish. Here, să plouă is the subjunctive mood marking that rain is only a possibility.

Is plouă indicative or subjunctive?

In form it looks like the 3rd person singular present indicative, but with the să it becomes the present subjunctive. That’s how you signal uncertainty or potential action after impersonal verbs.

Why isn’t there a subject (like “it”) in the Romanian version?

Romanian impersonal constructions omit the dummy subject. English needs “it is possible,” but Romanian simply says Este posibil without an extra pronoun.

Can you shorten Este to E?

Yes. In everyday speech and writing you often see E posibil să plouă diseară. Dropping the “s” is perfectly acceptable and common.
