Questions & Answers about Eu o salut mereu pe colega ta.
Why is there an o before the verb if the English translation doesn't say 'her'?
This is the rule for specific human objects you are currently learning. When a specific person is the direct object, like colega ta, Romanian requires a short pronoun before the verb that matches the person. o is the feminine singular short pronoun for 'her'. Literally, the structure is: I 'her' greet always 'on' your colleague.
What is the word pe doing in this sentence?
Why does colega end in an 'a' instead of 'ă'?
The base word for female colleague is colegă. However, when you use a possessive word like ta for 'your', the noun before it needs to take the definite article. Changing colegă to colega turns it into 'the colleague'. So colega ta works grammatically like 'the colleague of yours'.
Can I change the word order and put mereu at the very end?
Yes, Romanian word order is quite flexible. You could absolutely say Eu o salut pe colega ta mereu. Putting mereu directly after the verb salut is just a very natural way to keep the action and its frequency together.
