Questions & Answers about Profesorul înțelege totul.
Why does the verb înțelege end in -e here?
Înțelege comes from the infinitive a înțelege (to understand), which is a Group 3 regular verb (verbs ending in -e). For the 3rd-person singular (he/she/it), the present tense ending is just -e.
Why is it profesorul instead of just profesor?
In Romanian, the word for 'the' (the definite article) attaches to the end of the noun. Profesor is a masculine noun, so it takes the ending -ul to mean 'the teacher'.
Why is the word for 'everything' written as totul instead of just tot?
When used all by itself to mean 'everything' (as a pronoun, not describing another noun), Romanian adds the definite article -ul to it. It acts like a noun literally translating to 'the all' or 'the everything'.
How do I pronounce the ge at the end of înțelege?
When the letter g is followed by an e or an i in Romanian, it makes a soft sound. It is pronounced exactly like the 'j' in the English word 'jet' or the 'ge' in 'page'.
