Summary/Abstract: Our brief contrastive analysis of the infinitive with predicative value in Italian and Romanian has revealed several similarities, but mostly several differences. On the one hand, in both languages, the infinitive can have predicative function in sentences marked by intonation, with the value of an imperative. On the other hand, only in Italian, the infinitive can have predicative function in declarative, conditional, exclamatory, and dubitative sentences.
