Questions & Answers about Tu vrei să cumperi carnea?
Why do we use cumperi (you buy) instead of the dictionary form of the verb to buy?
In English, we say you want to buy. In Romanian, when you connect two verbs, both verbs must match the person doing the action! So you literally say You want that you buy (Tu vrei să cumperi).
Does să mean to?
In this sentence, you can think of it as to. Să is a special connecting word used when talking about intentions, wishes, or possibilities. You will use it constantly after verbs like to want (a vrea).
How do we get carnea (the meat) from carne (meat)?
How do you form a question without a word like Do?
Romanian doesn't use helper words like do or does for questions. You simply use the exact same word order as a normal sentence (Tu vrei... means You want...) and raise your voice at the end.
Do I have to include the word tu?
