Breakdown of Noi avem unsprezece euro.
Questions & Answers about Noi avem unsprezece euro.
How is the word unsprezece formed?
In Romanian, numbers from 11 to 19 are built like a little math equation: number + spre (towards/over) + zece (ten). So, unsprezece is literally "one over ten".
Do I need to use the word de between the number and the noun, like unsprezece de euro?
No, you don't use de here. In Romanian, you only add the word de between the number and the noun for numbers 20 and above (for example, douăzeci de euro). For numbers 1 to 19, the number goes directly next to the noun. Why doesn't the word euro have a plural ending to match "eleven"?
The word euro is a special case in Romanian. It is an "invariable" noun, which means it keeps the exact same spelling in both the singular (un euro) and the plural (unsprezece euro). Could I drop the word noi and just say Avem unsprezece euro?
Yes, absolutely! Because the verb form avem (we have) already tells us who is doing the action, the pronoun noi (we) is optional. It is often dropped in everyday speech unless you want to emphasize that we have the money, not someone else. Learn Noi avem unsprezece euro and more in Romanian
