Spanish to English: An article I wrote about Romanian Grammar. Detailed field: Linguistics
Source text - Spanish Pagina Romaneasca
The following is a non-native speaker’s version of a category in the Romanian language. In other words, your comments and/or corrections are welcome! You’re probably already aware that several verbs in Romanian can be made into a noun by adding –re. So why would I still send this into Spuneti? Well, I was very glad when I learned that each of these “-re nouns” is articulated and pluralized the same way, as well as having the same dative case. Therefore, if you can recognize an –re noun, you should be able to put it into any form necessary.
-Re Nouns
Not every verb in Romanian can be changed into a noun by adding the suffix –re. Nor is every word you see with –re at the end of it necessarily a noun which falls into the category. However, a significant amount of verbs can simply be transformed into a noun by adding the suffix –re to the infinitive form.
Ex. Sosi (to arrive) becomes sosire (arrival).
Note: When the verb ends in –ea, you must take off the –a before you add –re.
Ex. Putea (can) becomes putere (power, strength).
With this in mind, the following is true of any verb that has an “-re noun”:
a. The noun is always feminine, and articulated in the singular form, with an -a.
Ex. o vedere articulated is vederea, or o compunere articulated is compunerea
b. To make the noun plural, take off the –e and add –i. To articulate, add –le.
Ex. Sosire in singular, becomes sosiri in plural, and sosirile articulated.
Note: Nouns of verbs ending in a, such as lucra(re) or pleca(re) change slightly in the plural form: The last a receives the “bottom half-circle” above it. So the plural of plecare (because I cannot type it!) sounds like “plec-uhh-ri” and not “plec-ahh-ri.”
The following chart contains a few more possibilities of –re nouns and examples thereof.

* Unirii is in the genitive (possessive) form. Piata Unirii literally translates to Plaza of The Union or (awkwardly) The Union’s Plaza.

Ex. Singular- Fata vederii (the front of the postcard)
Subiectul compunerii (the subject of the composition)
Plural- Subiectele compunerilor (the subjects of the compositions)
