încheiam

încheiam is a Romanian verb. It is the first-person plural imperfect indicative form of the verb a încheia. The verb a încheia has several meanings, most commonly "to finish," "to conclude," "to close," or "to tie." Therefore, "încheiam" translates to "we were finishing," "we were concluding," "we were closing," or "we were tying," depending on the context.

For example, one might say "Noi încheiam proiectul" which means "We were finishing the project." Similarly, "Noi încheiam discuția" translates to "We were concluding the discussion." The imperfect tense in Romanian, like in many other Romance languages, describes an ongoing or habitual action in the past. This contrasts with the perfect simple tense, which describes a completed action in the past.

The verb a încheia can also be used in more specific contexts. For instance, it can refer to the act of closing a wound, as in "medicul încheiam rana" (the doctor was closing the wound). It can also relate to tying or fastening something, such as "ea încheiam șireturile" (she was tying the shoelaces). The specific nuance of "încheiam" is therefore determined by the surrounding words and the overall situation being described.
