Questions & Answers about Ne vedem vineri seara.

Where is the word for we in this sentence?

It is built into the verb vedem.

In Romanian, verb endings usually show the subject, so the subject pronoun is often omitted. Here, vedem means we see.

So:

• vedem = we see
• noi vedem = we see, but with extra emphasis on we

That is why Romanian can say Ne vedem vineri seara without a separate word for we.

What does ne mean here?

Ne is the unstressed pronoun for us / ourselves.

In this sentence, it gives the idea of each other, so ne vedem means we see each other.

That is why the whole sentence is naturally understood as See you Friday evening or We’ll see each other Friday evening.

Why do I need ne if vedem already means we see?
