Questions & Answers about Rezervăm o masă marți.
Why is there no separate word for we in Rezervăm?
Because Romanian often drops subject pronouns when the verb ending already makes the subject clear.
- rezervăm = we reserve / we are reserving / we will reserve
- The ending -ăm tells you it is 1st person plural: we
So Noi rezervăm o masă marți is possible, but noi is usually unnecessary unless you want emphasis, contrast, or extra clarity.
Why does rezervăm end in -ăm?
The ending -ăm is the present-tense ending for we with many Romanian verbs, including a rezerva = to reserve / to book.
A quick breakdown:
- a rezerva = infinitive
- rezerv = I reserve
- rezervi = you reserve
- rezervă = he/she reserves
- rezervăm = we reserve
- rezervați = you all reserve
- rezervă = they reserve
So rezervăm specifically means we reserve.
If rezervăm is present tense, why can the sentence refer to the future?
