Perii blana încet.

The dictionary form is a peria, meaning to brush.

In this sentence, perii is a present-tense form of that verb. A useful mini-paradigm is:

• eu perii = I brush
• tu perii = you brush
• el/ea perie = he/she brushes
• noi periem = we brush
• voi periați = you all brush
• ei/ele perie = they brush

It can mean either I brush or you brush.

That is because both eu perii and tu perii have the same verb form. Romanian often leaves the subject pronoun out, so without extra context, Perii blana încet is formally ambiguous.

If you want to make it explicit, you can say:

• Eu perii blana încet = I brush the fur slowly
• Tu perii blana încet = You brush the fur slowly

Romanian often drops subject pronouns when they are not needed. This is very normal.

In many sentences, the verb form already makes the subject clear. In this particular case, though, perii can match both eu and tu, so the exact subject depends on context.

So the short version is:

• pronoun omitted = normal Romanian
• exact subject = understood from context, or added if needed for clarity/emphasis

Because that is the correct spelling of this verb form.

Some Romanian verbs produce forms with -ii, especially in certain present-tense singular forms. So perii is not a typo.

For learners, the safest approach is simply to memorize this pattern:

• a peria
• eu perii
• tu perii
• el/ea perie

The double i is just part of the standard conjugation.

Because Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word before it.

So:

• blană = fur / a fur
• blana = the fur

That final -a is doing the job that English the does.

Because blană is the basic indefinite form, while blana is the definite form.

This is a very common Romanian pattern with feminine nouns:

• casă = house / a house
• casa = the house

Likewise:

• blană = fur
• blana = the fur

So the noun changes form when it becomes definite.

Because blana is a direct object, and Romanian normally does not use pe with inanimate direct objects like this one.

The marker pe is mainly used with personal or highly specific animate direct objects, especially people.

So:

• Perii blana = normal
• no pe is needed here

încet is an adverb meaning slowly. It tells you how the action is done.

In Perii blana încet, it modifies the verb perii.

Its position at the end is very natural and neutral. Romanian word order is somewhat flexible, but this version sounds straightforward and unmarked:

• Perii blana încet = very natural

Other orders may be possible, but they can shift emphasis.

î is a specifically Romanian vowel. It has no exact English equivalent.

A rough guide:

• încet is pronounced approximately like uhn-CHET, but with the first vowel much tighter and more central than normal English uh
• the ce in încet sounds like che in check without the final ck

The main thing to remember is that î is its own Romanian sound, so it is best learned by listening to native audio and imitating it.
