Questions & Answers about Ea nu lucrează în februarie.

Why is there no word for "does" in nu lucrează?
English uses the helper word "does" to make a negative sentence ("does not work"). Romanian is much simpler: you just put the negative word nu directly in front of the verb lucrează (works).
The dictionary form of "to work" is a lucra. Why does it change to lucrează here?
Many regular Romanian verbs that end in -a add the special ending -ează when talking about "he", "she", or "they". So, the base lucra becomes lucrează to match ea (she).
Is it a typo that februarie starts with a lowercase letter?
No, it's correct! Unlike in English, months of the year and days of the week are written with lowercase letters in Romanian, unless they are at the very beginning of a sentence.
Can I leave out Ea and just say Nu lucrează în februarie?
Yes, you can. In Romanian, the verb itself usually gives enough context about who is doing the action, so you don't always need to include the pronoun. Keeping Ea (she) in the sentence just adds a little emphasis or clarifies that you mean "she" and not "he" (el).
