A neuter noun refers in general to a
thing or an inanimate object. The neuter nouns are masculine in the
singular and feminine in the plural. A native speaker of Romanian
knows that an inanimate word takes in the singular the masculine
numeral "un" and in the
plural the feminine numeral "două".
Examples: untelefon – două
telefoane (one phone – two phones), un
scaun – două scaune
(one chair – two chairs), un pix –două pixuri (one pen – two pens).
The plural endings for a neuter noun
can be: -e,-uri,-i.
These endings can be added to the final
letter of the neuter noun (bilete,dansuri) or it can replace the last
vowel of the noun in the singular (lucru
– lucruri, fluviu
– fluvii, teatru
- teatre).
Phoneticmutations in the stem are rarer
than masculine and feminine nouns.
