Questions & Answers about Tu scrii mesajul acolo.
Why does scrii have two is at the end?
Scrii comes from the verb a scrie (to write), which belongs to the 3rd conjugation (verbs ending in -e). The base of the verb is scri-. For the tu (you) form in the present tense, we add the standard ending -i. Putting the base and the ending together gives us scrii.
Do I always have to use tu to say you write?
No, Romanian verbs have unique endings for each person, so scrii alone already means you write. Including tu is optional and usually done for emphasis, as if saying that you are the one writing the message, not someone else.
Why is the word mesajul and not just mesaj?
In Romanian, the word for the is attached directly to the end of the noun. Mesaj simply means message. By adding the definite article -ul to the end, it becomes mesajul, meaning the message.
If acolo means there, how would I change this sentence to say here?
To say here, you would use the word aici. The sentence would become Tu scrii mesajul aici.
