Questions & Answers about Tu dormi mult, dar ieși des.
Why do both dormi and ieși end in -i here?
Both of these are Conjugation 4 verbs, which means their dictionary forms end in -i (a dormi meaning to sleep, a ieși meaning to go out). For almost all Romanian verbs, the informal singular you form ends in -i, which makes this conjugation very regular and easy to spot.
How do I pronounce the -i at the end of dormi and ieși?
It is a whispered -i. Instead of saying a full ee sound like in the English word see, you make a soft, almost silent sound that slightly changes the consonant before it. So dormi sounds a bit like the English word dorm, but said with a faint smile at the very end.
Do I have to include the word Tu at the beginning?
