💡

Check the root

Always find the root word first. If the word doesn't exist without the prefix, it might be a different word entirely.

🎯

The 'o' to 'oa' trick

When adding a feminine suffix like -oară or -oaie, the 'o' in the root almost always becomes 'oa'. Example: 'moară' (mill).

💡

The 'De' Rule

If a compound has 'de' in the middle (like 'viță-de-vie'), usually only the first word changes in the plural ('vițe-de-vie').

자주 묻는 질문 (6)

No, prefixes must be compatible with the root. Always check a dictionary.
It's a phonetic rule. 'In-' becomes 'im-' before 'p' or 'b'.
It depends on the root. Adjectives of Latin origin often take -itate, while older Slavic or Latin roots might take -ime or -ețe. Exposure is key.
No! In Romanian, they are mostly about **affection** or making a request sound more polite.
There's no perfect rule, but titles ('vice-președinte'), specific biological names ('floarea-soarelui'), and time adverbs ('după-amiază') usually need one. Merged words are usually older.
Because it means 'the flowers of the sun'. The 'sun' part is a specific reference that doesn't need to be pluralized.
