Questions & Answers about Femeia apatică nici nu s-ar uita la tine.
Why does this sentence use both nici and nu to mean "not even"?
Wait, doesn't the verb a uita mean "to forget"? Why does it mean "look" here?
Yes, the non-reflexive verb a uita means "to forget". However, when used as a reflexive verb with the preposition la—a se uita la—the meaning completely changes to "to look at". It is a very common distinction you have to watch out for!
How is the verb s-ar uita formed here?
It is in the conditional present tense. The word ar is the auxiliary verb for the third-person conditional (would). The s- is the reflexive pronoun se, which drops its "e" and attaches with a hyphen because the following auxiliary verb starts with a vowel.
Why do we use tine instead of tu at the end of the sentence?
Most prepositions in Romanian, including la (at), require the pronoun that follows them to be in the accusative case. The accusative object form of the subject pronoun tu (you) is tine.
