### At the Post Office

When you want to send a package, you are **expeditorul** (the sender). The verb to send or dispatch is **a expedia**.

To explain *why* you are doing something, use **pentru a** followed by the infinitive form of the verb (like "in order to").

{{item:1151600}}

If you want your package to arrive faster, you can choose to send it **prioritar** (priority).

{{item:1151602}}

To express uncertainty or a guess, you can start your sentence with the phrase **poate că** (maybe / perhaps).

{{item:1151603}}

### Recipients and Notices

The person receiving the package is **destinatarul** (the recipient). When referring to people respectfully, you can use the polite pronouns **dânsul** (he) or **dânsa** (she).

{{item:1151605}}

If the recipient is not home, the postal worker will leave a delivery notice, known as **avizul**.

{{item:1151607}}

### Registered Mail and Deliveries

For important documents, you might want to send them **recomandat** (registered). Remember that adjectives in Romanian agree in gender and number with the noun they describe, so you will see forms like *recomandată* for feminine nouns.

When expressing likelihood, use the phrase **probabil că** (probably).

{{item:1151609}}

The process of bringing the package is called **livrarea** (the delivery), and the person bringing it to your door is **poștașul** (the postman).

{{item:1151611}}

{{item:1151614}}

Finally, when talking about a group of people respectfully, use the polite plural pronouns **dânșii** (they, for masculine or mixed groups) and **dânsele** (they, for feminine groups).
