نکات و ترفندها (4)

💡

In casual conversation, Romanians often don't pronounce the final 'l' in words like 'băiatul'. It sounds like 'băiatu'. Don't let this confuse your spelling!

💡

💡

Check the gender

Always identify the noun's gender first. It dictates the suffix.

The 'Vowel' Trick

If a masculine noun ends in a consonant, just add '-ul'. It sounds like a little grunt at the end of the word!
