Questions & Answers about Unde merg ei în iunie?
Why does the sentence use merg instead of a separate word for 'are going'?
Why is the subject ei placed after the verb merg?
In Romanian question sentences, especially those starting with a question word like unde, it is very common to swap the order of the verb and the subject. So instead of Unde ei merg, you say Unde merg ei. Also, because the verb ending already tells us who is doing the action, you could drop the pronoun completely and just say Unde merg în iunie?
Why isn't the month iunie capitalized?
Unlike English, Romanian does not capitalize the names of months or days of the week unless they are the very first word of a sentence.
Do you always use în to say 'in a month'?
Yes! Just like in English, when you want to say something happens 'in' a specific month, you use the preposition în followed directly by the month, as in în iunie.
