Lesson 13 Romanian Grammar, Singular and plural

Grammar Lesson: Singular and Plural in Romanian In Romanian, like many other languages, nouns can be singular (to indicate one thing) or plural (to indicate more than one thing). The way to form the plural of nouns in Romanian depends on the noun's gender (masculine, feminine, neuter) and its ending. General Rules for Pluralizing Nouns: Masculine Nouns (Substantive Masculine): Most masculine nouns ending in a consonant take the ending "-i" in the plural. Example: singular: băiat (boy) plural: băieți (boys) Some masculine nouns ending in "-u" take "-i" in the plural. Example: singular: lupu (wolf) plural: lupi (wolves) Feminine Nouns (Substantive Feminine): Most feminine nouns ending in "-ă" take the ending "-e" in the plural. Example: singular: fată (girl) plural: fete (girls) Feminine nouns ending in "-ea" take "-ele" in the plural. Example: singular: stea (star) plural: stele (stars) Feminine nouns ending in a consonant usually take "-i" or "-e" in the plural (there are variations). Example: singular: carte (book) plural: cărți (books) Neuter Nouns (Substantive Neutre): Neuter nouns in the singular usually end like masculine nouns in a consonant or "-u," and in the plural, they take the feminine ending "-e" or "-uri". Example: singular: scaun (chair) plural: scaune (chairs) Example: singular: lucru (thing/work) plural: lucruri (things/works)
