The 90% Rule

If you're panicked and can't remember the case, use the Accusative. It's the most common and you'll be right 9 times out of 10!

💡

The 'Of' Shortcut

Whenever you'd say 'of' in English (in front of, in the middle of), Romanian usually uses the Genitive case. It's a great mental shortcut!

सामान्य प्रश्न (6)

The most common is likely de, used for descriptions and origin. You'll also see la and în constantly for location.
No, prepositions themselves never change. Only the noun that follows them might change its ending depending on the case required.
It depends on the noun. 'La școală' means 'at school', 'la ora 5' means 'at 5 o'clock'.
No, 'în' implies being inside something. Using it for a point like 'school' sounds unnatural.
The Accusative is by far the most common. Most everyday words like la, în, and cu use it.
They are usually location-based or abstract, like împotriva (against) or deasupra (above). They also tend to be longer words.
