timp de

Romanian

Etymology

Literally, “time of”.

Preposition

timp de [with accusative]

  1. for (a given period of time)
  2. Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see timp,‎ de

Usage notes

The use of timp de is entirely optional and often omitted in informal settings, as the natural way to express temporal duration in Romanian is without a preposition at all, akin to colloquial English, as in Am așteptat aici trei ore (“I waited here three hours”), although it is preferred in formal settings.
