Questions & Answers about Voi informa publicul.
Why does the verb informa lack the usual a in front of it?
To form the standard written future tense, you use the auxiliary verb (here, voi for "I will") plus the infinitive of the main verb, but without the particle a. So it is voi informa, not voi a informa.
Does voi change if the subject changes, or is it always the same?
Yes, voi changes depending on who is doing the action. It is the specific form for "I". If you wanted to say "he will inform", you would use va informa, and "we will inform" would be vom informa. The main verb (informa) stays exactly the same no matter who is doing the action.
How would I make this sentence negative ("I will not inform the public")?
You just put nu right before the future tense helper verb. So it becomes Nu voi informa publicul.
Why is there an -ul at the end of publicul?
That is the Romanian definite article, which works like the English word "the". Because public is a neuter noun, "the public" is formed by attaching -ul directly to the end of the word, making it publicul.
