Sora mea este grăbită dimineața și uită uneori cheile.

In Romanian, possessive adjectives like mea usually come after the noun:

• sora mea = my sister
• cartea mea = my book

So mea sora is not the normal Romanian word order.

Romanian often leaves out subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows the person.

• uită = (he/she) forgets

Since sora mea is already the subject, adding ea (she) would usually be unnecessary unless you want emphasis.

Because sora is a feminine singular noun, the adjective must agree with it.

• masculine singular: grăbit
• feminine singular: grăbită

So:

• fratele meu este grăbit = my brother is in a hurry
• sora mea este grăbită = my sister is in a hurry

Este is the 3rd person singular of a fi (to be).

So:

• sora mea este grăbită = my sister is hurried / in a hurry

Romanian normally needs this verb, just like English needs is. In casual speech, people often shorten este to e:

• Sora mea e grăbită.

Dimineața is the usual Romanian way to say in the morning / mornings, depending on context.

This expression commonly uses the definite form:

• dimineața = in the morning
• seara = in the evening
• noaptea = at night

So in this sentence, dimineața functions like an adverb of time.

Romanian adverbs are fairly flexible in position. Uneori (sometimes) can often appear in more than one place:

• uită uneori cheile
• uneori uită cheile

Both are natural. The version in your sentence sounds completely normal. The exact placement can slightly affect rhythm or emphasis, but not the basic meaning.

Uită is the 3rd person singular present form of a uita (to forget).

Conjugation in the present tense:

• eu uit = I forget
• tu uiți = you forget
• el/ea uită = he/she forgets

Since the subject is sora mea (my sister), Romanian uses uită.

Cheile is the definite plural form of cheie (key):

• o cheie = a key
• chei = keys
• cheile = the keys

Romanian often uses the definite form where English might say her keys or simply the keys, especially when it is clear from context whose keys they are.

So uită uneori cheile naturally means she sometimes forgets the keys / her keys.

Yes. In this sentence, și simply links the two parts:

• este grăbită dimineața
• uită uneori cheile

So:

• Sora mea este grăbită dimineața și uită uneori cheile.

= My sister is in a hurry in the morning and sometimes forgets her keys.

Romanian word order is more flexible than English, although this version is the most neutral and natural.

Possible variations include:

• Dimineața, sora mea este grăbită și uită uneori cheile.
• Sora mea uită uneori cheile dimineața.

These shifts change emphasis a little, but the original sentence is a very standard, neutral order.

A rough pronunciation is:

• grăbită ≈ gruh-BEE-tuh

The letter ă is a short central vowel, something like the a in English sofa. It is not a full a sound like in father.

So both grăbită and the last syllable of dimineața contain sounds that may feel unfamiliar at first.

Yes, but it changes the feel slightly.

• uită cheile = forgets the keys / her keys
• își uită cheile = more explicitly forgets her own keys

In many everyday contexts, Romanian does not need își because possession is already understood. That is why uită uneori cheile sounds natural and idiomatic.
