Questions & Answers about Ei vin din gară acum.
Why do we use din here instead of de la for "from"?
din specifically means "out of" the inside of a place. By saying din gară, we mean they are coming from inside the train station building. If you used de la gară, it would mean they are coming from the general area or direction of the station.
The English translation says "from THE train station", but gară doesn't have the definite article "-a" at the end. Why?
In Romanian, when a noun comes right after most simple prepositions (like din, în, la, pe), we drop the definite article. So we use the basic form gară instead of gara, even though we still translate it as "the train station" in English.
What verb does vin come from?
It comes from the verb a veni (to come). It is slightly irregular. For "they come", the form is ei vin. Notice it is the exact same form as "I come" (eu vin), which is a common pattern for Romanian verbs ending in -i.
If a group of women is coming from the station, would we still use ei?
