"He is not a girl."

Translation: El nu e o fată.

What is the difference between e and este? Is it the same as 'ser' and 'estar' in Spanish?

[Spukyon]

People get bored of saying "este" over and over in actual speech. We just shortened it to "e" for the third person. This also happens with "trebuie" which often becomes "tre" in speech.

Example: "Tre sa merg la scoala" = I have to go to school (spoken language)

It's just a difference between spoken and written language.

@xSpuky9, dacă tot faci pe profesorul, măcar scrie corect

[locallilpotato]

Thank you, this helped.

[nodaicugex]

Da, doar ca 'e' este corect gramatical. 'tre' nu))

[razvan.marin]

No, there's no difference between them. There's nothing like ser and estar in Romanian.

How do you know whether to use "e" or "o"?

[Sikeryali]

e or este = is

o = feminine a

un = masculine a

[Cryptobotany420]

How do you know when to use esti or e

[lufloidio]

"ESTI" is the second person singular in Romanian (you), is informal, to continue I am writing you the jugation of the verb "fi" (to be):

Eu sunt

tu esti

el/ea este or e

noi suntem

voi sumteți

ei/ele sunt

[CodyWall]

How do you use eşti?

what does "e" and "o" do?

[Violet_uwu]

E - a shortened version of 'este', mostly used when you say things more quickly if you arent a native (mostly what i see)
O - when you want to say its one girl or woman
O fată - a girl
Un băiat - a boy
O femeie - a woman
Un bărbat - a man

[Victoria663076]

Why not este instead of e for is

[brochinho]

You can use both. Just that e is much more used in the coloquial language. Este is more formal.

[PedroOkaza]

Hey guys! What is the difference between saying o fată and fata? Would both be the girl?

[curcubeu...]

no! o fată is 'a girl' and fata is 'the girl'

Don't be sexist. He can be whoever he wants to be.
