  • This word was spelled sînt until the 1993 spelling reform (which also changed sîntem to suntem and sînteți to sunteți). Indeed, the sînt spelling remains common in Moldova and is still used by some in Romania (especially among the older generation). It was also spelled sânt before the 1953 spelling reform.
