Questions & Answers about El folosește internetul acum.

Why does the verb end in -ește here?
Folosește comes from the verb a folosi (to use). In Romanian, many verbs ending in -i add an extra chunk of letters in the present tense. For he or she, this ending is -ește.
Where is the word for 'the' in internetul?
In Romanian, the word for 'the' is attached to the end of the noun as a suffix. The base word is internet. Because it is a neuter noun ending in a consonant, we add -ul to the end to get internetul (the internet).
Could this sentence also translate to 'He is using the internet now'?
Yes, absolutely! In fact, that is the most natural English translation. Romanian does not have a separate 'is doing' tense. The single present tense word folosește means both 'he uses' (in general) and 'he is using' (right now).
