Questions & Answers about În grupul meu sunt doi elevi și o elevă.
In Romanian, possessive adjectives (my, your, his, etc.) normally come after the noun they modify:
- grupul meu = my group
- cartea ta = your book
- mașina lui = his car
So grupul meu is the standard order, and meu grup sounds wrong in Romanian.
You can sometimes put the possessive in a different structure using a stressed form (for emphasis or contrast):
- grupul al meu = my group (as opposed to someone else’s)
…but even there the possessive element still follows the noun. Putting the possessive before the noun, like in English, is not how Romanian works.
Romanian uses a suffix for the definite article (the), instead of a separate word.
For grup (group), which is neuter:
- un grup = a group (indefinite)
- grupul = the group (definite)
In the sentence, you’re talking about a specific, known group (my group), so you need the definite form:
- În grupul meu = In my group
(literally: In the group my)
