Learn Romanian with Nico - Lesson 23: Present Tense (1st Conj. without infix) Video Lecture | Learn Romanian: A Complete Guide - Russian

hi and welcome to an easy PC lesson this
time I will show you how to conjugate
Romanian verbs in the present tense I'm
not gonna lie to you the main present
tense is a bit difficult and confusing
because unlike other Romance languages
that are very well structured million is
more of a spoken language which means
there are all kinds of vowel and
consonant changes occurring in the
verbal stem and this phenomenon is very
hard to explain
also there are very few rules that can
guide you through this whole process you
to dispatch I'm going to show you only
the basic information and we're gonna do
is slowly step by step because I don't
want this whole amount of information to
confuse you even more so let's start
what you should first know about your
minion verbs is that depending on the
sound they have at the end in the
infinitive form they can help to our
conjugations the first conjugation
ending are the second conjugation ends
in air the third conjugation ends in a
and the first conjugation ends in E or
lute in this lesson I'm going to talk
about the verbs of the first conjugation
and as I already said these are the
verbs that end in the infinitive in aa
let me give you some examples I let God
ah ma Abdus an ass Rita iooks iike all
Angelica well now comes the part when
things get a little bit complicated
because there are two groups of verbs
ending in aa the first group doesn't
take any index which means between the
verbose Tom and the personal endings
there won't be anything and then there's
the second group which takes the infix
ed or add also there's something else
that differentiates these two groups
from each other and that is the accent
that always falls on the infix so in
case of your verbs that don't take and
in six the accents will fall on the stem
and in case of the verbs that take the
interest is or as the accent will fall
on this index we're gonna talk in this
lesson only about the verbs that don't
take any infix at all in order to form
the present tense you will need the
verbal stem of the verb you're trying to
conjugate you just go to the infinitive
for and eliminate the endings and now
that you have the stem you also need the
personal end links for each and every
person in the first person singular you
won't need any ending which means you're
just gonna use the verbal stem as it is
and that's it then in the second person
singular you add e to the stem in the
third person singular you add all to the
stem in the first person plural you add
um to the stem in the second person
plural you're gonna add add to the stand
and then in the third person plural you
will add exactly like in the third
person singular o to the stem I will
conjugate now a verb for you to
understand these aspects a little bit
better and I will take the example of
ice pick up mmm so first and for all we
will need the stem of the verb in the
infinitive the verb is f X pika to find
out the stem you will eliminate the
ending and also these are in the
beginning which nobody needs in the
present tense so the stem will be X
please
so yo X pig as you can see there is no
personal ending just the pure verbal
stand yo XP 2x pitch now the personal
ending is e but pay attention that this
e is not stressed because the accent
already falls on the stem and as you
might already know there can only be one
stressed vowel in a word so if the
absent already fell on the stem the
ending will not be stressed yell explica
or yeah X ego so nothing special about
this and then something happens that
kind of contradicts what I already said
about the accent always falling on this
term even if we're talking here about
verbs without any inputs or about verbs
with vintage or about verbs of another
conjugation in the first and second
person plural the absent always a hold
on the ending
so it's gonna be noise xpcom no XP curl
and voice x Prakash boy XP cut and then
in the third person plural the accent
will fall again on the Sun and it's
gonna be yay explica or yell a explica
this was actually a verb that you can
conjugate by using the rules but as I
already warned you there are some vowel
and consonant changes that might occur
in the stem especially in the second
person singular in the third person
singular and in the third person plural
because the third person singular and
plural are the same and I'm going to
talk only about two of them one calculon
change is when you have to understand in
the second person singular you will
change this 2 into 2 for instance Ashoka
it's gonna be you are shoot to a shoot
or a errata you are owed to others or a
disco da Yoda scoot to these Goods and
so on and so forth so the T is for
change into only the second person
singular and there's also a vowel change
that might occur whenever you have a
between two consonants you will change
this ei into L in the third person
singular and plural for instance you
have allergen and it's gonna be your leg
to a left and then yell a Largo or Akuma
yo kill you Kim yell camel or uncheck up
yo in chels - in church yell in charcoal
and so on and so forth well there are
two big exceptions to these general
rules I gave you and here I'm referring
to two sets of verbs that kind of take
different endings in the present tense
but I won't be talking about them in
this lesson because this is getting too
complicated and I don't want to
discourage you just learn what I gave
you for now and this should be enough in
the beginning this is it for now
