Questions & Answers about Medicul trebuie să ajungă la spital imediat.
Why is the verb form să ajungă here?
Ajungă is the 3rd person subjunctive form of the verb a ajunge (to arrive). In Romanian, verbs that end in -e in their basic form change that ending to -ă for the 3rd person (he/she/they) after să.
Does the word trebuie change if we talk about more than one doctor?
No, trebuie (must) is a special invariable verb here. It doesn't change its form to match the subject. Whether it is one doctor or five, you just use trebuie followed by să and the action verb.
Why does the sentence use medicul instead of just medic?
If we are saying at the hospital, shouldn't it be la spitalul?
In English, we say at the hospital, but in Romanian, you usually drop the definite article (the attached the) after simple prepositions like la (at/to) when talking about a general destination. So, you just say la spital.
