"a urî"

[Meepsicle83]

Since the pronunciation seems 'off', how should this be pronounced?

[potestasity]

These are ok: http://forvo.com/search/a%20ur%c3%ae/ (in the first recording, the speaker weirdly raises his tone at the end and the second one doesn't contain the "a", but otherwise they're good).

[SebastienBaill]

Thank you for that potestasity.

Duolingo Romanian team should really fix those audios I think, it is sort of misleading in many cases.

[LICA98]

they can't do anything about it unfortunately

Agree

[CeilidhMac3]

I highly recommend forvo.com for pronunciation. They have thousands of words pronounced by native Romanian speakers and you can even download the pronunciation.

i hear " a aureu"

[jenifferco452402]

I agree

People are trying to learn and we are learning incorrectly some words

[R.White]

Now why is it -î, not -i, any rule?

[JacquilineH]

Because "î" and "i" have different pronunciations

[illexsquid]

I think the question is, why does this infinitive end in -î while others end in -i

[JacquilineH]

Pretty sure it's just another way for infinitives to end, like the fact that other infinitives can end in "a" or "e". It's not the only infinitive to use "î" - hotărî (decide), coborî (descend) and doborî (knock down) are others that also end in "î".
