Introduction[edit | edit source]
Romanian is an inflected language. This means that the endings of words can change depending on how they are grammatically used. The words on this list may be encountered in a different form than that which is listed here. The following are endings which are commonly found.
Plural endings: -i, -e, -le, and -uri. Plural endings can change the spelling of the original word. For example, d in singular can become z in plural, a can become e.
"of" and "for": on singular words, the endings -ui, -lui, -ei, and -lei can mean "of" or "for." On plural words, the endings -or and -lor can mean "of" or "for".
"the": the endings -le and -ul can mean "the".
Spelling[edit | edit source]
Spelling rules were not standardized in earlier centuries. In addition, for the parts of Romania that were under the Hungarian empire, the registers were often recorded in Hungarian. There were specific rules for how to convert Romanian names into Hungarian spelling (common names were often just translated):
c → cs (ex. Cilip = Csilip)
c → k (ex. Carp= Karp)
ch → k (ex. Achim= Akim)
j → zs (ex. Jeian = Zseian)
s → sz (ex. Simeon= Szimeon)
ş → s (ex. Şerban= Serban)
ț → cz (ex. Anuța= Anucza)
