Introduction[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we will dive into the world of numbers in Romanian. Numbers are an essential part of any language, and learning them will allow you to count, tell time, and express quantities in Romanian. In this lesson, we will focus on numbers 1 to 10, which will provide you with a solid foundation for further exploration of the Romanian numerical system. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently count from 1 to 10 and use these numbers in everyday situations.

Numbers 1-10[edit | edit source]

Cardinal Numbers[edit | edit source]

Let's start by learning the cardinal numbers from 1 to 10 in Romanian. These numbers are used to count and express quantities. Take a look at the table below to familiarize yourself with the Romanian numbers and their pronunciations:

Romanian	Pronunciation	English Translation
un	oon	one

patru	pa-troo	four
cinci	chinch	five
șase	shah-seh	six
șapte	shap-teh	seven
opt	opt	eight
nouă	noo-uh	nine
zece	zeh-cheh	ten

Now, let's explore each number in more detail:

1. Un (One): This is the first number in Romanian, and it is used to count singular objects. For example, "un câine" means "one dog."

2. Doi (Two): The number two is "doi" in Romanian. It is used to count pairs or two objects. For example, "doi copii" means "two children."

4. Patru (Four): The number four is "patru" in Romanian. It is used to count four objects or express the number four in any context. For example, "patru scaune" means "four chairs."

5. Cinci (Five): "Cinci" is the Romanian word for five. It is used to count five objects or express the number five in any context. For example, "cinci mașini" means "five cars."

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

Romanian numbers have their roots in Latin, just like the rest of the Romanian language. However, it's interesting to note that the words for numbers one to four in Romanian (un, doi, trei, patru) have some similarities with their counterparts in other Romance languages such as Italian and Spanish. This is because they all share a common ancestor, Latin. As for the numbers five to ten, the Romanian words have developed their own distinct forms over time.

In Romanian, numbers are not only used for counting and expressing quantities but also play an important role in telling time, talking about ages, and indicating dates. Mastering the numbers from 1 to 10 will provide you with a solid foundation for understanding and using numbers in various contexts in Romanian.

Now that you have learned the numbers from 1 to 10 in Romanian, let's practice using them in different exercises:

Exercise 1: Fill in the blanks with the correct Romanian number:

1. Eu am _______ pisici. (I have two cats.) 2. Astăzi este _______ martie. (Today is the third of March.) 3. Vreau să cumpăr _______ mere. (I want to buy five apples.) 4. Sunt _______ persoane în camera aceasta. (There are six people in this room.) 5. Am _______ frați și _______ surori. (I have three brothers and two sisters.)

1. I have seven books. 2. Today is the first of May. 3. She has nine dogs and three cats. 4. There are four chairs in the room. 5. We want to buy ten oranges.
