Questions & Answers about Intru în casă.
Why is there no word for 'I' in this sentence?
In Romanian, you can often leave out subject pronouns (like eu for 'I') because the verb ending already tells us who is doing the action. Intru specifically means 'I enter', so adding eu is optional and usually just used for emphasis.
Why does it translate to 'I go into' when there is no word for 'go'?
The verb intru means 'to enter'. In English, it is often more natural to say 'I go into the house,' but Romanian uses this specific single verb for the action of going inside.
If intru means 'enter', why do we need the word în (in/into) after it?
Unlike English where you just 'enter a house', Romanian requires the preposition în with this verb. You literally say 'I enter in house' (intru în casă).
Why is it casă (house) and not casa (the house) if the English translation says 'the house'?
This is a very common rule in Romanian! After simple prepositions like în (in/into), you drop the 'the' ending on the noun unless you are also adding a description after it. So 'in the house' is simply written as în casă.
