Stress in the Romanian Imperfect and Pluperfect conjugations
Hello! I'm learning the conjugations for the Imperfect and Pluperfect in Romanian, but none of the websites that teach it include where to put the stress. I was wondering if the community here could help me.

Where would the stress fall in the following conjugations?

a termina, imperfect: (terminam, terminai, termina, terminam, terminați, terminau)
a termina, pluperfect: (terminasem, terminaseși, terminase, terminaserăm, terminaserăți, terminaseră)

Thanks in advance!

Answer

In your examples the stress is always on the ”a”, no exceptions.  Normally, I don't recommend Google translate, but I just checked and the pronunciation for Romanian seems much better.  I tried your words and although the voice sound robotish it's pretty much correct.

Answer

The stress is on the ,,a" from the last syllable in every of these words in imperfect and in the pluperfect case on the "se" ex. Termina"se"m
