Questions & Answers about Nu am destui bani.
Why is destui used here instead of just destul?
Is the word for money (bani) always plural in Romanian?
Yes, when talking about money in general, Romanians use the plural word bani (literally coins). In English, money is a singular concept, which is why this can feel tricky. The singular form ban is only used to refer to a single coin.
Where do I put destui in relation to the noun?
Just like in English (enough money), destui comes right before the noun bani. This is a common exception to the usual Romanian rule where most adjectives come after the noun they describe.
Why isn't the word eu (I) in this sentence?
In Romanian, the verb form am already tells us the subject is I. You can safely leave eu out unless you want to emphasize that it is you specifically who doesn't have enough money.
