Questions & Answers about Am libertatea să fac orice.
Does orice mean "anything" or "everything" here?
In this sentence, orice translates to "anything" (whatever I want). It specifically means "any single thing" or "no matter what." If you wanted to say "I have the freedom to do everything" (meaning all the things in the world at once), you would use the word totul instead of orice.
Why do we use să fac instead of the infinitive a face for "to do"?
English uses the infinitive ("to do") after a noun like "freedom." However, Romanian strongly prefers the subjunctive mood, which uses the connector word să. You are literally saying "I have the freedom that I might do." Also notice that fac (I do) is conjugated to match the subject of am (I have).
Why does the word for freedom end in -ea here?
The base word for freedom is libertate. It is a feminine noun ending in -e. Because the sentence says "THE freedom", we must attach the feminine definite article -a to the end. For feminine words ending in -e, adding -a creates the ending -ea, giving us libertatea.
Could I add eu (I) to the beginning of the sentence?
Yes, adding eu is grammatically correct, but it is optional. The verbs am (I have) and fac (I do) already tell us exactly who is performing the actions. Leaving the subject pronoun out is the most natural way to speak Romanian unless you want to add special emphasis to yourself.
