lui

The Romanian word "lui" means "his," "to him," or is used as a possessive marker.

In this context, 'lui' is a stressed form used to emphasize the indirect object pronoun 'ie,' showing whom the liking pertains to.

Lui îi place să citească povești.

He likes to read stories.

In this sentence, 'lui' serves as a dative pronoun indicating the indirect object; to whom the ball was given.

Am dat mingea lui.

I gave the ball to him.

Here, 'lui' is the singular possessive pronoun for masculine nouns, indicating possession or relationship. It corresponds to 'of' or the genitive case in English.

Am citit cartea lui Andrei.

I read Andrei's book.
