confrunt

Confrunt is a Romanian verb form meaning “I confront.” It is the first-person singular present indicative form of the verb a confrunta, which means to confront or to face. The form embodies the ongoing action of facing or opposing something and is used in everyday speech as part of the broader family of Latin-derived Romanian verbs.
