Questions & Answers about Pun farfuria și o ceașcă pe masă pentru Ana.
Romanian usually leaves out subject pronouns when they are not needed, because the verb ending already shows the subject.
- pun = I put
- pui = you put
- pune = he/she puts
So Pun farfuria... is perfectly natural. You can say Eu pun..., but that adds emphasis, like I’m the one putting it.
This shows the difference between the definite article and the indefinite article in Romanian.
- farfurie = plate
- farfuria = the plate
Romanian usually adds the definite article to the end of the noun. - o ceașcă = a cup
The indefinite article is a separate word.
So:
- farfuria = the plate
- o ceașcă = a cup
