împrumutai

împrumutai is a verb form in Romanian. It is the second person singular imperfect indicative of the verb a împrumuta, meaning "to borrow." The imperfect tense describes a past action that was ongoing or repeated, rather than a single, completed event. As a form, împrumutai corresponds to you borrowed in the past.

Conjugation note: in the imperfect, the verb follows the pattern of other -a verbs. For example, eu împrumutam (I borrowed), tu împrumutai (you borrowed), el/ea împrumută (he/she borrowed), noi împrumutam, voi împrumutați, ei/ele împrumutau. The stem is împrumut- with person-specific endings.

Usage: împrumutai is used to describe habitual past borrowing. It often appears in narrative or descriptive past tense contexts. It takes a direct object describing what was borrowed, for example: tu împrumutai o carte de la bibliotecă (you borrowed a book from the library) or tu împrumutai bani de la prieteni (you borrowed money from friends).

Nuance: împrumutai does not indicate who lent the item unless specified with a complement (de la cine). It is distinct from the noun împrumut, which means “a loan.”

See also: a împrumuta, împrumut, împrumutători.

This term is a standard grammatical form in Romanian and appears in both literary and everyday usage to convey past, habitual borrowing by the second person singular.
