Why is there no word for I in schimb?

Romanian often leaves out subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

• schimb = I change
• schimbi = you change
• schimbă = he/she changes

So Dacă schimb planul naturally means If I change the plan, even though eu (I) is not stated.

You can say Dacă eu schimb planul, but it usually adds emphasis, similar to If I change the plan.
