'''Word formation'''<br /> |
|||
Aromanian language keeps latin words and meanings that no longer exist in other eastern romanic languages: bashu (kiss), cusurinu (cousin), dimãndari (order), uinu (of sheep), agiunu (hungry), fumealje (family, children), largu (far), vatãmu (I kill).<br /> |
|||
Words from other languages:<br /> |
|||
• '''Slavonic''' : celnicu (master, owner), dobru (kind), mutrescu (I watch)<br /> |
|||
• '''Albanian''' : bãnedzu (I live), etã (time), minduescu (I think, I believe)<br /> |
|||
• '''Neo-Greek''' (most of them): arisescu (I like), asime (silver), hoarã (village), xen (stranger), lipseashce (must), nostimu (tasty).<br /> |
|||
• '''Turkish''' : adets (tradition), bitisescu (I finish), cãsãbã (town/city).<br /> |
|||
Now the foreign words are generally the ones that can be found in Romanian, French or English : proectu, entsiclopedii, completu, orighinalu, litsentsã.<br /> |
|||
'''Morphology and Syntax'''<br /> |
|||
'''Article'''<br /> |
|||
'''The definite article''' is added ad the end of the word, like in the other eastern romanic languages : luplu (the wolf), vitsinlji (the neighbours ), bisearica (the church).<br /> |
|||
A definite article can be added in proper nouns but only for masculine forms: Goglu (Gogu).<br /> |
|||
In the group noun + demonstrative adjective + qualifying adjective, the last adjective can have an article or not. For example: omlu atsel bunlu or omlu atsel bun (that kind man).<br /> |
|||
'''The indefinite article''' for singular feminine form is unã (a): unã featã (a girl).<br /> |
|||
'''Nouns'''<br /> |
|||
There are two forms for plural:<br /> |
|||
• -adzi for masculine nouns with accent on the last vocal: pãradzi (coins/money)<br /> |
|||
• -ate or -ati for feminine: nemusorizmate (lots of snow)<br /> |
|||
Notes:<br /> |
|||
• Genitive form with a for singular and plural masculine nouns, but also for singular and plural feminine nouns express the object that is possessed : muma a ficiorlui, a ficiorlor, a featiljei, a featilor<br /> |
|||
• a is also found in the dative form: lju dau a vitsinlui<br /> |
|||
• for genitive-dative in feminine form with definite article the article becomes “ali”: ali feate<br /> |
|||
• the genitive-dative form is formed by adding the definite article in front of the masculine noun: al Gog<br /> |
|||
Proper nouns for town with the function of object expressing the destination or state are usually built without preposition: mi duc Bitule (I go to Bitolia), but also with preposition: s-dusi n Sãrunã (he went to Salonic).<br /> |
