Romanian: An Essential Grammar

What it actually is

A clear, well-organised reference covering Romanian morphology and syntax — noun cases, the subjunctive, verb government, clitic pronoun order — with the explanations pitched at learners rather than linguists. It is the book to reach for when a rule you half-know keeps producing wrong sentences. Now in its second edition. Paid, and deliberately compact, so it explains rather than exhaustively catalogues; heavy users may eventually want something larger.
