Questions & Answers about Muncitorii lucrează aici.
Why does muncitorii end with a double "i"?
In Romanian, the word for "the" attaches to the end of the noun. The base masculine word is muncitor (worker). The plural is muncitori (workers) ending with one -i. To say "the workers", you add a second -i as the definite article, resulting in muncitorii.
Is lucrează the singular or plural form of the verb?
The noun is muncitorii, but the verb is lucrează. Can I use a verb that matches the noun?
Yes, you can! Romanian has two common verbs for "to work": a lucra and a munci. They mean the same thing and are highly interchangeable. You could absolutely say Muncitorii muncesc aici and it would be perfectly correct.
How do I pronounce the double "i" at the end of muncitorii?
A single -i at the end of a plural Romanian noun is usually a very short, almost whispered sound. However, when you have a double -ii, you pronounce it as a full, clear "ee" sound, much like the vowel sound in the English word "feet".
