Inflection-rich Romanian can be a real bother for foreign speakers who are supposed to use the language in real-life contexts. Possessive adjectives in Romanian have a rich paradigm, with different words used according to number and gender.


Here are some useful words:


Meu=My



Mea

Mei

Mele

Tau=Your


Ta


Tai



Tale

Sau=His/Her


Sa



Sai

Sale



Lui=His

Lui


Lui

Ei=Her

Nostru=Our


Nostri



Noastra

Noastre

Vostru=Your


Vostri


Voastra



Voastre

Dumneavoastra=Your


Dumneavoastra


Dumneavoastra


Dumneavoastra


And here are some of the words, used in meaningful sentences


Casetofonul meu s-a stricat.


My tape recorder is broken.



Unde este laptopul tau?

Where is your laptop?

Acestia nu sint pantofii mei.


These are not my shoes .



Da-mi sacosa, cheile si telefonul tau mobil!

Give me your bag, keys and cell phone!

Curtea noastra este mai mare decit curtea voastra.


Our courtyard is bigger than your courtyard.


Thank you ALL for the interest you take in Romanian culture, and for being so keen on learning Romanian with us. Good Bye! La revedere!
