Generally pretty good! A (se) pieptăna is a weird one. The first sentence is Maria o piaptănă pe Ana. The only other mistakes are Îi vom întoarce din drum and Maria îi plimbă pe frații ei în fiecare zi (kind of a weird sentence imo--I would phrase it differently). If I missed something I apologize. Good job!
Maria o piaptănă pe Ana.
Îl vom întoarce din drum.
Maria îi plimbă pe frații ei în fiecare zi.
Noi alergăm după autobuz.
This is great, honestly!
I also got confused at "a se pieptăna", because while repeating it in my head, I thought I might use the wrong form, as many romanians do, so I had to check it out.
Also, the sentence "Îi place să plimbe câinele lui seara" is not a sentence we would generally use, but it's not incorrect. It would sound more naturally like "Îi place să plimbe câinele seara" or even more common use "să își plimbe câinele", without "lui", because it is implied the dog is his.
But you are doing a really good job! With exercises like these I realize how hard romanian might be for foreigners.
Yes, that is correct, and I think it makes even more sense than the sentence from the book. That sentence sounds like "Maria walks her brothers daily" like you would walk your dogs.
(11) Îl vom întoarce din drum. We will turn him back. How are we turning back? We are turning HIM back. So you have to use the same form used when we say “He is turning back” -> El se ÎNTOARCE din drum. But without using the preposition “se” (12) Maria îi plimbă pe frații ei. Same here Maria is walking her brothers. How is Maria walking? SHE is walking her brothers. Same here, use the form for “She is walking her brothers” -> Ea ÎI PLIMBAMĂ pe frații ei. This time you keep the proportion “îi” 3. Noi ALERGĂM. Is the correct form
That's pretty confusing and it's not a good logic to use.
Îl vom întoarce din drum. - "vom întoarce", the verb, is conjugated for the future tense, 1st person plural. Nothing to do with the present tense of the 3rd person singular. That's not a rule. The fact that the future tense for the 1st person plural and the present tense for the 3rd person singular are similar (excluding the auxiliary verb and the reflexive pronoun) is a good observation, but I don't remember this being a rule we learn in grammar.
Maria îi plimbă pe frații ei. - no need to ask "how" Maria is walking her brothers (unless you're confused why she's treating her brothers like dogs). To match the verb form with the subject, the only thing you need to know is the right person (3rd person singular in this case). As for the role of "îi" in the sentence, if we're getting into the nitty gritty, both "îi" and "pe frații ei" are the direct objects of the sentence. I can't remember why that is, but when doing something TO someone or something (like Maria is doing to her brothers), we use the personal pronoun in the dative case (îi/le) before the verb. You can have a sentence where this pronoun is the only direct object if the recipient is supposed to know who or what the object is ("Maria îi plimbă", for example, is valid, if we already know that we're talking about her brothers. it answers the question "pe cine?/who?"), but you can't have a sentence without it ("Maria plimbă pe frații ei" doesn't sound right, but I don't remember why).
To correct/check your conjugations/declensions you can also use dexonline. for each word just switch from the "definitii" to the "conjugari/declinari" tab:
The first two are not. In the first, for present tense, it should have been "piaptănă". If you'd go for past tense it should have been " pieptăna"
The second: Eu ma piaptăn.
Other two: "Îl vom întoarce din drum" and "Maria îi plimbă pe frații ei"
Yeah, sorry, I don't know. I forgot to say "cursive." We learned it in first grade, and we actually don't even learn how to have normal handwriting. (I don't even know how to write without cursive. I mean, I can type like this: "ANA HAD 3 APPLES." I just can't use small letters.)
Well, "Maria o pieptănă pe Ana" is a correct form of perfect simple, right?
I don't see how they made a mistake but I might have to review some grammar rules.
Well, i extrapolated from the next exercise, it asks about choosing a correct form, as i interpreted it, it's not asking for present tense but you might be right.
I just find it interesting that in this case they were not blatantly wrong, just in a different tense
I'd add that 1st sentence can be correct - depending on intended meaning - as in "Maria puse masa si apoi o pieptănă pe Ana" (perfect simplu vs prezent - piaptănă)

i want to add that in the 3rd exercise, it's "noi alergăm", not "noi alergem"
Maria o piaptănă pe Ana. Îl vom întoarce din drum. Maria îi plimbă pe frații ei în fiecare zi. Noi alergăm după autobuz.

Thank you!!! and if I want to say “Maria goes for a walk with her brothers” it should be “Maria se plimbă cu frații ei.”, right?
Fellow Romanian, and yes that’s correct.
Yes, that is correct, and I think it makes even more sense than the sentence from the book. That sentence sounds like "Maria walks her brothers daily" like you would walk your dogs.
If she walked her bros, we’d get: Maria îi plimbă pe frații săi

Edit: grammatical errors. ironically.
I didn't understand a thing from that brick of text. The point is to help foreigners understand better, not to confuse even native speakers
Last one " noi ALERGĂM dupa autobuz "
hii! what is this book called? i am romanian with chinese relatives and would love to tell them about it
《新编大学罗马尼亚语》

你是中国人吗？我是罗马尼亚人，现在学习汉语。 其他人的说法是正确的，但是你有很多句子写对了，恭喜！
是的，谢谢！你的中文很棒！
Awesome really
Alergăm dupa autobuz pentru ca ne am trezit prea tărziu si nu mai ajungem la timp 😱
The first two are not. In the first, for present tense, it should have been "piaptănă". If you'd go for past tense it should have been " pieptăna"
The second: Eu ma piaptăn.
Other two: "Îl vom întoarce din drum" and "Maria îi plimbă pe frații ei"
Good job!
EDIT: my mistake in the second sentence.
The second one is right: Eu mă pieptăn.
The second one is correct, eu pieptăn. Only in 3rd person the “e” becomes “a”.
Damn, still finding out new stuff about my native language in my late 30s 😅
Yeah, the ones you marked with (?) are wrong
În mintea mea Maria făcea cu totul altceva cu Ana. Maria care are pepeni si Ana care are mere.
By the way I just wanted to add that in romania, it is normalized to always use handwriting. Just putting it out there.
Hmm you mean cursive handwriting ?
Yeah, sorry, I don't know. I forgot to say "cursive." We learned it in first grade, and we actually don't even learn how to have normal handwriting. (I don't even know how to write without cursive. I mean, I can type like this: "ANA HAD 3 APPLES." I just can't use small letters.)
Interesting to know!
3 mistakes
Yes they are all correct
The correct word is “pieptănă”!!!
Well, "Maria o pieptănă pe Ana" is a correct form of perfect simple, right? I don't see how they made a mistake but I might have to review some grammar rules.
It's an exercise for the present tense
Well, i extrapolated from the next exercise, it asks about choosing a correct form, as i interpreted it, it's not asking for present tense but you might be right. I just find it interesting that in this case they were not blatantly wrong, just in a different tense
If i were a professor, which I am but in mathematics, I would've explained what was expected but still mark it as correct
I'd add that 1st sentence can be correct - depending on intended meaning - as in "Maria puse masa si apoi o pieptănă pe Ana" (perfect simplu vs prezent - piaptănă)
Chinese person learning romanian?! Now I've lived to see them all xd no but really good stuff, tot asa!
Urata și vrea limba avem 😂
