Questions & Answers about La casieră plătesc cu cardul, nu cu numerar.

Why is there no subject pronoun like eu in plătesc?

Romanian often drops subject pronouns when the verb ending already makes the subject clear.

• plătesc = I pay
• The ending -esc shows 1st person singular

So:

• Plătesc cu cardul. = I pay by card.
• Eu plătesc cu cardul. also works, but eu is usually added only for emphasis or contrast.

In this sentence, the subject is understood, so eu is not necessary.

What does la casieră mean exactly?

La casieră means something like at the cashier, at the checkout, or at the cash desk, depending on context.

The preposition la often means:

• at
• to
• by

So la casieră refers to the place/person where payment happens.

In real-life usage, it can sound a bit flexible in English:

• at the cashier
• at the checkout
• at the till

Does casieră mean the person or the place?
