Inflection-rich Romanian can be a real bother for foreign speakers who are supposed to use the language in real-life contexts. Possessive adjectives in Romanian have a rich paradigm, with different words used according to number and gender.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Here are some useful words:<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Meu=My<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
Tau=Your<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
Ta <\/strong><\/p>\n
Tai <\/strong><\/p>\n
Sau=His\/Her<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
Sa <\/strong><\/p>\n
Sale<\/strong><\/p>\n
Lui <\/strong><\/p>\n
Lui <\/strong><\/p>\n
Ei=Her<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
Ei <\/strong><\/p>\n
Ei <\/strong><\/p>\n
Nostru=Our<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
Nostri <\/strong><\/p>\n
Vostru=Your<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
Vostri <\/strong><\/p>\n
Voastra<\/strong><\/p>\n
Dumneavoastra=Your<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
Dumneavoastra<\/strong><\/p>\n
Dumneavoastra<\/strong><\/p>\n
Dumneavoastra<\/strong><\/p>\n
And here are some of the words, used in meaningful sentences<\/p>\n
Casetofonul meu s-a stricat.<\/strong><\/p>\n
My tape recorder is broken.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
Acestia nu sint pantofii mei.<\/strong><\/p>\n
These are not my shoes .<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
Curtea noastra este mai mare decit curtea voastra.<\/strong><\/p>\n
Our courtyard is bigger than your courtyard.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
