When talking about things—like apps, files, or devices—you can connect your sentences using the relative pronoun **ce**.

{{item:1144946}}

While you can always use *care* to mean "that" or "which", **ce** is a simpler alternative for non-human objects because it is invariable. It never changes its form based on gender or number.

### "Ce" as the Subject

If the object you are describing is the one doing the action in the relative clause, you simply place **ce** immediately after the noun.

### "Ce" as the Direct Object

Things get a little trickier when the object you are describing is *receiving* the action in the relative clause (for example, "the notification that the phone displays").

Even though **ce** doesn't change, Romanian still requires you to include a small direct object pronoun (a clitic) right before the verb to point back to the noun. This tiny pronoun must match the noun's gender and number.

For a feminine singular noun like *notificarea* (the notification) or *memoria* (the memory), you will use the pronoun **o**.

{{item:1144948}}

If the verb inside the relative clause is in the past tense (*perfect compus*), the feminine pronoun **o** attaches to the end of the past participle with a hyphen.
