The
Present Indicative of the verbs in “e” (3rd conjugation)
The verbs with the "e" infinitive
are considered verbs of the 3rd conjugation.
Examples: a
merge (to go), a
scrie (to write), a
deschide (to open), a
trimite (to send), a
începe (to start), a
crede (to believe).
The Present Indicative is formed from
the root verb. If the infinitive is "a
merge", the root verb is "merg"
(without the infinitive suffix "e"). If the infinitive form is "a
deschide", the root verb is "deschid"
etc.
After obtaining the root, the following
endings must be added: Ø
(1st person in the singular), -i
(2nd person in the singular), -e
(3rd person in the singular), -em
(1st person in the plural), -eți
(2nd person in the plural), Ø
(3rd person in the plural).

The consonant "d" as a last letter
in the 1st person singular (cred,

singular (crezi,
deschizi).
The 1st person singular
has the same form with the 3rd person in the plural:
Eu
cred / ei cred (I believe
/ they believe).
Eu
merg / ei merg (I go /
they go)
Some verbs receive the ending "u"
in the 1st person singular and in the 3rd person plural.
