Questions & Answers about Eu am o familie mare.
Why is the verb 'to have' translated as am in this sentence?
Am is the 'I' form of the irregular verb a avea (to have). Because the subject of the sentence is Eu (I), you must use am.
Is it mandatory to include Eu at the start of the sentence?
Why do we use o for the word 'a' instead of un?
The word familie is a feminine noun. In Romanian, feminine nouns take the indefinite article o (a/an). If the noun were masculine or neuter, you would use un.
Why does mare come after familie instead of before it?
In Romanian, descriptive adjectives usually come right after the noun they describe. So, instead of saying 'a big family' like in English, you structure it as 'a family big' (o familie mare).
Since familie is feminine, does the adjective mare need a special feminine ending?
