Ție nu îți dau o carte, eu îți dau ție o pisică. Is very complicated form. No romanian speaks or writes like that. The correct and easy form is : Nu iti dau o carte , iti dau o pisica.
I am very confused. Sometimes the stressed form comes before the unstressed and sometimes after the verb. But I do not understand when to use which placement. I just tried eu ție îți dau o pisică but it was wrong. But the previous question required I place it after the verb not before the unstressed. Is it just that the computer does not accept a correct (but perhaps not used by native speakers) answer, or is there some place where I can learn how to properly place them?
the same problem and no one answer to my query. I found only one form in my grammar books - before and after key verb :(
Lol we got to appreciate the fact that no one took the time to write down a table with these words on the tips section. These minor courses should be more collaborative by letting the users to propose useful contributions to them.
what is wrong with "eu nu ție îți dău o carte, eu îți dău ție o pisică"?
Is it always necessary to repeat the pronouns in each half of this type of sentence - or is it just because it is the stressed form?
Well you don't have to repeat the pronoun from the end from this sentense, it shows again that I give YOU a cat (i don't scream that "you")
But would that emphasis already be implied due to the repeated pronoun, in the first half of the sentence? Or do both halves need 2 pronouns when we are emphasis who we are giving something to?
Can somebody please tell me, why eu îți dau ție? Why not eu ție dau o pisică?
Because "eu îți dau" means "i give you. We don't say often that "ție" from the end. And what you sayd means " I you give a cat ". I hope I answered what you wanted to know (°~°)

"ție" is the stressed form, and you cannot use that one without the unaccented form "îți" as well. So it's either "eu îți dau o pisică" or "eu îți dau ție o pisică".
I'm assuming this is correct for the "voi" form of you, but how would one say this with the "tu" form? I've tried everything I can think of and they all come up as wrong.
I think this is the stressed form. Is this right? Is it the stressed form?
It is very difficult to translate to English and then to Spanish (my mother tongue) when the direct translation to Spanish is literal... just I have realized this after 100 days :(

I have the opposite problem. English is my mother tongue but Spanish is my second language and it's much closer to Romanian of course but with questions like this one it seems to make it harder to get them right!
You can omit "eu" and "ție" but you cannot omit "îți"
Eu îți dau ție = îți dau ție = ție îți dau = îți dau
The hints through me off again! It said to put iti dau tie, but it didn't accept the tie.
