    Community Answer
    If you're a native Romanian speaker, you have already learned Romanian. And presumably you've had or have Romanian classes in school that have taught you how to use the grammar properly, etc. If not, you can try to find a class or a textbook to review on your own.

  • Question
    Why isn't the letter i pronounced at the end of a word in Romanian?
    Community Answer
    There are exceptions, such as monosyllabic words (like the word "și"), when there is more than one "i" at the end of a word, or infinitive verbs ending in "i". Another exception is when the final "i" is preceded by "fl","bl","tr","cl","cr", or "dr" (like "tu afli" or "centimetri"). In most cases however, "i" is pronounced as a short "i" (marked in phonetics as /ʲ/) at the end of a word.
