    Romanian, although a Romance language, has patterns like Balkan languages such as Greek and Serbian and Croatian in that it uses reflexes of the verb:

    (to want):

    * "love": infinitive a iubi → 3rd sing. future va iubi

    Romanian also forms a future tense from the subjunctive, with a preceding particle, o, also derived from vrea:

    * "love": infinitive a iubi → 3rd sing. future o să iubească (lit. (want) that he love)
