In Romanian, the number two changes its form depending on whether the noun you are counting is masculine, feminine, or neuter.
The Feminine Form: două
When counting feminine nouns, use două.
| Two girls are reading here. | Două fete citesc aici. |
| I have two cars and two houses. | Am două mașini și două case. |
The Neuter Form: două
Neuter nouns act like masculine nouns in the singular, but feminine nouns in the plural. Since two is plural, neuter nouns also use două.
| We buy two tickets. | Cumpărăm două bilete. |
| The boy wants two apples. | Băiatul vrea două mere. |
The Masculine Form: doi
Masculine nouns use doi. Notice how the number form shifts to match each noun's gender:
| Two boys and two girls study English. | Doi băieți și două fete studiază engleza. |
| He has two dogs and two cats. | El are doi câini și două pisici. |
Everyday Uses: Prices and Time
You will use these forms constantly for prices and time. The currency euro is masculine (doi), while days (zile) are feminine (două).
| The ticket costs two euros. | Biletul costă doi euro. |
| We are here for two days. | Suntem aici două zile. |
