Questions & Answers about Noi iubim primăvara.
Do I have to include noi (we) in this sentence?
Where is the word for "the" in primăvara?
In Romanian, "the" is attached to the end of the word instead of being a separate word before it. The base word for "spring" is primăvară. To say "the spring", you change that final ă to an a, making it primăvara.
Why does the verb iubim end in -m?
In Romanian, the letter -m at the end of a verb almost always means "we" are doing the action. The base form of "to love" is a iubi. When you want to say "we love", you add -m to get iubim.
Can I use a iubi (to love) for things like food, just like in English?
A iubi is a strong emotional word. It is perfectly natural to use it for people, pets, or seasons (like primăvara). However, for everyday things like a great pizza or a movie, Romanians usually stick to a plăcea (to like), even when English speakers would casually say "I love it".
