There are five cases in Romanian: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, and vocative. In form the nominative and the accusative are identical, and so are the genitive and the dative. Functionally, they differ: the nominative is primarily used to express the subject, while the accusative is the case of the direct object. The dative is the case of the indirect object, while the genitive is mainly the case of possession. The vocative is the case of direct address. Examples: nominative: Băiatul este aici. The boy is here. accusative: Văd băiatul . I can see the boy. genitive: Cartea băiatului este aici. The boy's book is here. dative: Îi dau cartea băiatului ! I give the book to the boy! vocative: — Băiete , vino încoace! — Boy, come here! Pronumele Nominative: Eu, Tu, El, Ea, Noi, Voi, Ei, Ele English: I, You, He, She, We, You (formal/plural), They (masc), They (fem) Nominative is the main subject of the sentence basically.. Eu merg la magazin - I am going to the store. Accusative: Mine, Tine, El, Ea, Noi, Voi, Ei, Ele Unstressed forms: Mă, te, îl, o, ne, vă, îi, le English: Me, You, Him, Her, Us, You (formal/plural, Them (masc), Them (fem) Accusative basically describes the object that you're doing the verb to. e.g: Eu te văd. - I see you le văd la fereastră - I see them by the window. The unstressed forms precedes the verb. In imperative form of verbs, it comes after in a contraction "aşteaptă-mă!" - Wait for me! The full stressed forms (mine, tine, etc) are always used after a preposition (pe - on, în - in, pentru - for, la - at/to, lângă - next to, cu - with, fără - without, aproape - near, departe - far). Mergi fără mine?? - Are you going without me?? trebuie să vorbesc cu tine - I need to speak with you Just an extra note.. There isn't a definite article word after a preposition, unless you use the instrumental (what you use to do whatever) "Plec cu trenul" - I'm leaving by train "Mănânc cu lingura" - I'm eating with the spoon. Now the dative is the confusing one.. It's also called the indirect object. It has to do with giving someone something. Give, tell, explain, bring, offer, and send are examples of verbs that are used in the dative. Dative: Mie, Ţie, Lui, Ei, Nouă, Vouă, Lor Unstressed: 2000mi, 2000ţi, 2000i, Ne, Vă, Le English: To/for me, To/for you, To/for him, To/for her, To/for us, To/for you (formal/plural), To/for them (masc/fem)

In a language there is something called 'noun cases'
There are five cases in Romanian: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, and vocative. In form the nominative and the accusative are identical, and so are the genitive and the dative. Functionally, they differ: the nominative is primarily used to express the subject, while the accusative is the case of the direct object. The dative is the case of the indirect object, while the genitive is mainly the case of possession. The vocative is the case of direct address. Examples:
nominative: Biatul este aici. The boy is here.
accusative: Vd biatul. I can see the boy.
genitive: Cartea biatului este aici. The boy's book is here.
dative: i dau cartea biatului! I give the book to the boy!
vocative: Biete, vino ncoace! Boy, come here!
PronumeleNominative: Eu, Tu, El, Ea, Noi, Voi, Ei, EleEnglish: I, You, He, She, We, You (formal/plural), They (masc), They (fem)
Nominative is the main subject of the sentence basically..Eumerg la magazin -Iam going to the store.
Accusative: Mine, Tine, El, Ea, Noi, Voi, Ei, EleUnstressed forms: M, te, l, o, ne, v, i, leEnglish: Me, You, Him, Her, Us, You (formal/plural, Them (masc), Them (fem)
Accusative basically describes the object that you're doing the verb to. e.g: Eutevd. - I seeyoulevd la fereastr - I seethemby the window.
The unstressed forms precedes the verb. In imperative form of verbs, it comes after in a contraction "ateapt-m!" - Wait for me!
The full stressed forms (mine, tine, etc) are always used after a preposition (pe - on, n - in, pentru - for, la - at/to, lng - next to, cu - with, fr - without, aproape - near, departe - far).Mergi frmine?? - Are you going withoutme??trebuie s vorbesc cutine- I need to speak with you
Just an extra note.. There isn't a definite article word after a preposition, unless you use the instrumental (what you use to do whatever)
"Plec cu trenul" - I'm leaving by train"Mnnc cu lingura" - I'm eating with the spoon.
Now the dative is the confusing one.. It's also called the indirect object. It has to do with giving someone something. Give, tell, explain, bring, offer, and send are examples of verbs that are used in the dative.
Dative: Mie, ie, Lui, Ei, Nou, Vou, LorUnstressed: 2000mi, 2000i, 2000i, Ne, V, LeEnglish: To/for me, To/for you, To/for him, To/for her, To/for us, To/for you (formal/plural), To/for them (masc/fem)
You notice the unstressed dative for him/her is the same. You'll get used to it.
The object you're giving, bringing, sending, etc. is the direct object since you're performing the action on that certain thing. In bold will be the accusative, italics will be the dative.
