întrebm

întrebm is not a recognized standard word in Romanian; it is commonly described as a nonstandard orthographic variant of the present-tense form întrebăm, which means “we ask.” The correct spelling in standard Romanian is întrebăm, with the diacritic marks on î and ă. When written without diacritics or with altered vowel endings, forms such as intrebam or întrebm may appear in informal text, but they are generally considered misspellings rather than separate lexical items.

In normal usage, întrebăm functions as the first-person plural present tense of the verb a întreba (to ask). Conjugation in the present tense is: eu întreb, tu întrebi, el/ea întreabă, noi întrebăm, voi întrebați, ei/ele întreabă. The verb denotes asking questions, seeking information, or requesting clarification, and it appears across everyday conversation, journalism, and written Romanian.

Etymology traces a întreba to the Latin interrogare, reflecting its meaning and cognate forms in other Romance languages. The present-tense endings align with standard Romanian verbal conjugation patterns, illustrating typical verb morphology rather than a separate lexical entry.

Note on orthography: Romanian strongly relies on diacritics for correct pronunciation and meaning. While non-diacritic variants may be encountered in digital text or older sources, the normative form remains întrebăm. Clarity in formal writing usually requires using the diacritics and the correct suffix -ăm.
