Questions & Answers about Domnul ne ajută cu proiectul.
Since this lesson is about formal politeness, why aren't we using dumneavoastră here?
Dumneavoastră is used when speaking directly to someone (the formal "you"). Here, we are talking about someone respectfully. Using domnul (the gentleman) instead of just el (he) is a common way to show respect to a third person. Because it acts as "he", the verb ajută (helps) takes the standard he/she form.
Why is the word for "us" (ne) placed before the verb?
Both domnul and proiectul end in -ul. What does this ending do?
