As we can see from
the above examples, the root verbs have a lot of irregular forms.
Nevertheless, we can formulate some rules: at the root verb we have
to add some endings. For the verbs from the 2nd
group, the endings for most of the verbs are, respectively,
as follows: Ø,
-i,
-e,
-em,
-eți,Ø.
The exception is the verb “to drink” (a
bea), where the ending is “u” in the
1st
person singular.
For most verbs, the 1st
person in the singular is homonym with the 3rd person in
the plural:
eu văd (I see)
= ei văd (they see)
eu beau (I drink)
= ei beau (they drink)
The
negative form
In order to obtain the
negative form, we will add the particle “nu” in front of the
verbs.
