"Copiii sunt înalți."

Translation: The children are tall.

Is it really three 'i's?

[Renardo_11]

The first "i" is part of the root word, "copil". The second marks the plural, and the third the definite article.

[PirvuOctavian97]

the same goes for "fiii" = the sons / propriii mei fii = my own sons / copiii = "the children" and many others, have fun... muhahahaha

[Erika661047]

Yes.

[Andy145182]

Haha, fun, thanks for the explanations.

[AgonizedCat]

pulls out the fabled 'copiiii'

[mattdea]

How would you pronounce "copii" and "copiii"? Do they sound the same? Are there generally any common misunderstandings when using these words in Romania?

[mjf92]

-i: half pronounce. "Choke" on the "i", if you will.
-ii: pronounce one "i"
-iii: pronounce two "i"s

I love how this language has words with three i's
