încurajeai

Încurajeai is the second-person singular imperfect indicative form of the Romanian verb "a încuraja," which translates to "to encourage." This grammatical form indicates an action that was ongoing or habitual in the past, performed by "you" (singular). For example, "Tu încurajeai prietenii tăi să participe la concurs" translates to "You used to encourage your friends to participate in the contest." The imperfect tense is used to describe past states or continuous actions, often setting a scene or providing background information for a narrative. The verb "a încuraja" itself implies offering support, confidence, or hope to someone. Therefore, "încurajeai" specifically describes a past instance where an individual was actively providing such encouragement to another person or group. Understanding this conjugation is crucial for comprehending Romanian past narratives and expressing past behaviors.
