Questions & Answers about Mâine va fi înnorat și rece.

Why isn't there a word for 'it' before va fi?
Romanian doesn't use a dummy pronoun like 'it' for weather or general statements. You just use the verb directly. Here, the 3rd person singular verb va fi translates perfectly to 'it will be'.
How does the future tense in va fi work?
It is made of two parts: va, which is a special form of the verb a vrea (to want) used as a helper for the 'he/she/it' form, and fi, which is the short dictionary form of the verb 'to be'. Together they mean 'it will be'.
Is the word înnorat related to the noun for cloud?
Yes, the root word is nor, meaning 'cloud'. By adding the prefix în- and the suffix -at, it becomes the adjective înnorat (cloudy).
Could I use frig instead of rece to say it will be cold?
You can use both for weather, but grammatically they are different. Rece is an adjective meaning 'cold', so it nicely matches the other adjective înnorat. Frig is actually a noun meaning 'coldness'. While you will often hear people say va fi frig (it will be cold), using rece here keeps the sentence balanced with two adjectives.
