Learn Romanian: Văd două persoane simpatice.

In Romanian, the number two changes depending on the gender of the noun it counts. We use doi for masculine nouns and două for feminine and neuter nouns. Since persoane (people) is a feminine noun, we must use două.

Is persoană always a feminine noun, even if it refers to a man?

Yes! The word persoană (person) is grammatically feminine, regardless of the actual gender of the person you are talking about. Because it is feminine, its plural is persoane and it always takes the feminine number două.

Why is the word for "nice" spelled simpatice?

Adjectives in Romanian have to match the noun they describe in both gender and number. Because persoane is feminine and plural, the adjective must also be feminine and plural. The masculine singular is simpatic, the feminine singular is simpatică, and the feminine plural becomes simpatice.

Does simpatice mean "sympathetic"?

No, this is a common false friend! In Romanian, simpatic (and its plural simpatice) means "nice", "likeable", or "friendly". If you want to say someone is sympathetic, you would use a different word, like înțelegător.
