Romanian to English translation tips
- English requires an explicit subject in nearly every sentence and marks questions with word order, so translations into English often need pronouns and auxiliaries that the source language leaves out. Romanian looks familiar to Romance speakers but attaches articles to noun endings and keeps case forms, so endings change where French or Spanish would add small words.
- This bundle defaults to contemporary standard Romanian as used in Romania. It does not claim review of Moldovan regional usage or other Romanian varieties.
- Romanian normally attaches the definite article to the noun, and the noun's shape may change when the article is added. Translate the whole noun phrase rather than replacing English the with a separate token.
- Dumneavoastră takes plural verb and pronoun forms whether it respectfully addresses one person or refers to several people. Label number when the English source leaves it unclear.
- English infinitival complements often require a finite clause with să in Romanian. Person and number must then agree with the understood subject of that clause.
- Weak object pronouns change position and sometimes form around finite verbs, compound tenses and affirmative imperatives. Preserve both the referent and the register instead of translating each pronoun independently.
Romanian false friends to watch for
- actual looks like “actual” but means current or present-day.
- eventual looks like “eventual” but means possible or contingent.
- librărie looks like “library” but means bookshop.

Why is the Romanian word for 'the' attached to the noun?
Romanian usually expresses definiteness with an enclitic article, as in carte versus cartea. The resulting form depends on the noun's gender and number and sometimes includes a stem or linking change.
Does dumneavoastră mean one person or several people?
It can respectfully address one person or address a group, and it takes plural agreement in either use. Preserve contextual clues or state the number when an English sentence must distinguish them.
