Tipps & Tricks (4)

💡

The 'Copy-Paste' Rule

Think of adverbs as a copy-paste of the masculine adjective. Don't overthink it, just use the simplest form you know.

💡

The 'No-Preposition' Rule

Don't put 'la' before 'acasă'. Just say 'Merg acasă'. It's like the word already has a built-in GPS coordinate.

💡

The Short Version

Use azi instead of astăzi in casual conversations. It makes you sound more like a local and less like a textbook.
