Questions & Answers about Seara urmăresc o emisiune despre animale.

Why does seara translate to in the evening rather than the evening?
In Romanian, time words with the definite article -a at the end are often used to express when something happens regularly. While seara is a noun meaning the evening, here it acts as an adverb meaning in the evening or evenings.
Why use urmăresc for watching a program instead of mă uit?
Both are correct! The verb a se uita is the most common and casual way to say to watch. However, urmăresc comes from the verb a urmări, which literally means to follow. It is very natural to use a urmări when talking about following a specific TV show, broadcast, or series.
How do we know who is watching if there is no pronoun like eu in the sentence?
The verb a urmări is conjugated here with the ending -esc. This specific ending tells us the subject is I. Because the verb ending makes the subject clear, Romanian usually drops the pronoun eu.
What does o tell us about the word emisiune?
The word o is the feminine indefinite article meaning a or an. It tells us that emisiune is a feminine noun in the singular form.
What is the singular form of animale?
The singular is un animal and the plural is două animale. It is a neuter noun, which means it behaves like a masculine noun in the singular and a feminine noun in the plural.
