The Executive Meeting

Review Summary

  • [Subject] + [A FI conjugated] + [Participle]
  • SE + [Verb 3rd person singular]
  • ESTE DE + [Supine form]

常见错误

The auxiliary 'a fi' must agree in number with the subject (măsurile = plural, so 'au fost').

Wrong: Măsurile a fost luate.
正确: Măsurile au fost luate.

In the reflexive passive, the verb must agree with the thing being sold (mere = plural, so 'se vând').

Wrong: Se vinde mere aici.
正确: Se vând mere aici.

Using 'Eu' (I) is too personal for formal reports; the impersonal 's-a observat' is preferred.

Wrong: Eu am observat că este o problemă.
正确: S-a observat că există o problemă.

Next Steps

You've reached a major milestone! Mastering these structures is what separates intermediate learners from truly advanced speakers. Keep practicing that professional tone!

常见问题 (6)

It means you are reporting information without naming a specific person who said it. You use structures like se spune că to say 'it is said that'.
You can, but it sounds a bit basic. Using se spune is more sophisticated and common in news or formal writing.
It means the sentence doesn't have a specific person (like I, you, or Maria) doing the action. We use se to show the action is general, like se știe (it is known).
Exactly! It's the Romanian equivalent of 'people say' or 'they say' when you don't mean a specific group of people.
In formal reports, the focus must be on the data, not the person. Using 'Eu' makes it subjective.
No, it can be reflexive, but in reports, it's almost always impersonal passive.
