Împinge

Împinge is a Romanian verb meaning to push or to apply force to move something away or forward. It can denote a physical action as well as metaphorical urging or pressure, and is used in both literal and figurative contexts.

Etymology: The verb derives from Latin impingere, meaning to push against or strike upon, and entered Romanian through the Latin-Romance linguistic development. The form îm-ping-e reflects typical Romanian phonology and conjugation patterns.

Conjugation: Împinge belongs to the regular Romanian verb system in present tense. The present tense forms are: eu împing, tu împingi, el/ea împinge, noi împingem, voi împingeți, ei/ele împing. The root is împing- with standard person endings.

It can also express urging or forcing someone to act: A împinge pe cineva să facă ceva. In a broader sense, it can convey momentum or motive, as in a situation that pushes people toward a decision or action.
