Questions & Answers about Nu văzusem această bandă desenată cu supereroul meu preferat.
Is the super- in supereroul related to the prefixal absolute superlatives from this lesson?
Yes! While supereroul is a noun rather than an adjective, it uses the exact same prefix. In Romanian, the prefix super- attaches directly to the word without a hyphen, whether it is creating an absolute superlative like superbun (super good) or a noun like supererou (superhero).
What tense is văzusem and how do we recognize it?
It is the pluperfect tense, meaning "I had seen". You can spot it by the -se- sound inserted right before the ending. It is formed from the past participle of a vedea (văzut), dropping the final -t and adding -sem for the first person singular, resulting in văzusem.
Literally, what does bandă desenată mean?
It translates literally as "drawn strip" (bandă meaning strip or tape, and desenată meaning drawn). This phrase is the standard way to say "comic book" or "comic strip" in Romanian. If you want to talk about multiple comic books, the plural is benzi desenate.
Why is there an -l on the end of supererou before the word meu?
In Romanian, when a possessive adjective like meu comes immediately after a noun, the noun must carry the definite article. Since supererou is masculine singular and ends in a vowel, it takes the definite article -l, making it supereroul meu (literally "the superhero my").
