Voi desenați niște flori frumoase?
Are you drawing some beautiful flowers?
From Lesson 13:Present tense of -a verbs with suffix (-ez)·Romanian

Questions & Answers about Voi desenați niște flori frumoase?

This lesson is about verbs with the '-ez' suffix. Why doesn't desenați have one?
Even though the verb a desena (to draw) uses the -ez suffix for most forms (like eu desenez for 'I draw' and el desenează for 'he draws'), this suffix is skipped for the noi (we) and voi (you plural) forms. They just take the standard endings, giving us voi desenați.
Why is the adjective frumoase used here instead of frumos?
Adjectives in Romanian must match the gender and number of the noun they describe. The word flori (flowers) is feminine plural. Frumos is the masculine singular form, but to match a feminine plural noun, it changes to frumoase.
Do I need to change niște if the noun is masculine instead of feminine?
No, niște is wonderfully simple! It means 'some' and is the plural indefinite article for all nouns, whether they are masculine, feminine, or neuter.
Why aren't there any helper words like 'are' or 'do' to make this a question?
Romanian doesn't use helper verbs to form questions. You simply keep the exact same word order as a regular statement and raise the pitch of your voice at the end (or add a question mark). So, Voi desenați can mean both 'You are drawing' and 'Are you drawing?'.
