### Three meals

| meal | | at the meal |
|---|---|---|
| **micul dejun** | breakfast | la micul dejun |
| **prânzul** | lunch | la prânz |
| **cina** | dinner | la cină |

**Micul dejun** is literally *the small lunch*. It keeps its article even after *la*, because *micul* is an adjective in front of the noun.

### I'm hungry, I'm thirsty

Like *îmi place*, hunger and thirst are said with the *to me* pronoun: *to me it is hunger*. In speech, **îmi e** shortens to **mi-e** and **îți e** to **ți-e**.
