CÂTEVA OBSERVAŢII ASUPRA FORMELOR VERBALE PASIVE DIN ROMÂNA SECOLULUI AL XVI-LEA
A few remarks on the passive verb forms in the 16th

Summary/Abstract: The analysis of the 16th century texts highlights the existence (as in contemporary Romanian) of two ways of rendering the passive voice: with the periphrasis made of a fi (to be) and the agreed passive participle of the verbal form and, much more often than in present-day language, with the passive reflexive. The agent, whose presence was optional, was usually introduced by the prepositions de and de către (by). In translations though, under the influence of the Slavonic originals, it sometimes appears accompanied by the prepositions cu, de la and pren (with, from).
