<div style="font-size:300%;"> The Pronouns in Romanian language</div>
[[File:Romania-Language-PolyglotClub.png|thumb]]


Hello Romanian learners,
Welcome to the lesson on Romanian grammar cases! Cases play a crucial role in understanding the structure and meaning of sentences in the Romanian language. Romanian, like many other languages, has a system of noun declension that marks the grammatical case of a noun in a sentence. In this lesson, we will explore the five cases of Romanian - nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, and vocative - and learn how they are used in different sentence structures.  
 
In today's lesson you will learn how to use the pronouns.
