Learn Romanian: Plecați la munte în martie? - Are you leaving for the mountains in March?

In Romanian, the verb ending tells you who is doing the action. Plecați has the ending -ți, which means it is "you" (plural or formal). You don't need to add the pronoun voi (you all) or dumneavoastră (you formal) unless you want to add emphasis.

The translation says "mountains", but isn't munte singular?

Yes, munte literally means "mountain". In Romanian, when talking about going to the mountains for a trip, you use the singular phrase la munte. It is a fixed expression, similar to how we might say "going to the beach" in English.

Why is la used here when the English translation says "for"?

English uses "for" with the verb "leave" (leaving for a place), but Romanian uses la, which means "to" or "at". So plecați la munte literally translates as "you leave to the mountain."

Why isn't the month martie capitalized?

Unlike in English, months of the year like martie (March) and days of the week are written with lowercase letters in Romanian, unless they are the very first word of a sentence.

How do you make this a question without words like "do" or "are"?
