Expressing possession in spoken Romanian
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.
Here are some useful words:
Meu=My
Mea Mei MeleTau=Your
