Questions & Answers about Avem mulți prieteni.
Where is the word for "we" in this sentence?
In Romanian, you don't always need to say the subject pronoun like noi (we) because the verb form already tells you who is doing the action. Avem means exactly "we have", so adding noi is optional and usually left out unless you want to emphasize it.
Why is it mulți and not just mult?
How do you say "friend" in the singular?
Do I pronounce the -i at the end of mulți and prieteni like a normal "ee" sound?
No, it is not a full vowel sound. In Romanian, an -i at the end of a word is usually a "whispered i" (unless it is stressed). It doesn't add a new syllable. Instead, it just softens the consonant before it. For mulți, you make a soft "ts" sound, and for prieteni, a soft "n" sound.
