"He won stabbing him in the leg."

Translation: El a câștigat înjunghiindu-l pe el în picior.

[calin.iorgulescu]

Serios? Asta fiind o propoziție tipică pentru cineva care dorește să învețe română?

[Camilo-A2]

Do you people have stabbing contests in Romania?

[Flav-is-boss]

Definitely not

[jp_miau]

That would be fun

[poftim]

Someone was taking their game of oina a bit too seriously.

[Coriander18]

Does the 'u come at the end of stabbing or any other 'ing' for that matter if it is followed by a dash and then pronoun? I'm trying to work out when the 'u' occurs.
Thanks.

This is a particular of the language. The verb "a înjunghia" in the gerund is "înjunghiind". The pronoun "el" in the accusative is "îl" functioning as direct complement. The construction becomes "înjunghiindu-l " where "u" is added as a filler while "î" is being dropped from "îl".

văzându-l = seeing him

auzindu-l = hearing him

cunoscându-l = knowing him

Edit: the "u" likely comes from the archaic form of the gerund (înjunghiindu, văzându, auzindu, and so on) and was later dropped in the modern language. Some other Romance languages (Spanish, Italian, Portuguese) also keep it as "o" at the end of the gerund.
