A nationality behaves like an adjective and changes with the person: român / româncă, englez / englezoaică, german / germană. The feminine is often not simply -ă, so it is worth learning both forms together. They are lower case.
Examples
- Sunt român, din București.
- I'm Romanian, from Bucharest.
- Ea este englezoaică și eu sunt german.
- She is English and I am German.
- Suntem italieni.
- We are Italian.
The mistake to avoid
Feminine nationality forms are irregular often enough that guessing -ă will sometimes be wrong.
Where this fits in
Greetings & introductions, Romanian A1: Say hello, give your name, ask someone else's, and where they're from.
