Question about Romanian
L-a dus să vadă un meci pe stadion.
What's the difference between l-a and el, since they both represent male side in sentences and I don't understand when does l-a go and when el. And there are other words with that "-" in the middle and I don't get are they just short term, or something else.

L-a is El/Ea l-a dus (a dus is the verb and l- is the gender of the one that's 'taken') > he/she took him.
In schools teachers say 'el l-a dus (pe el)' the 'l' before -a represents the word 'el'. It's kind of hard to explain, but it's like a short way of saying 'El l-a dus pe el' să vadă un meci pe stadion, so you just say l-a.
There's also -o
A dus-o să vadă un meci pe stadion which means 'El/Ea a dus-o pe ea' să vadă un meci pe stadion. It sounds weird to say it like that so we use just 'A dus-o să vadă un meci pe stadion' and 'L-a dus să vadă un meci pe stadion'
I'm sorry for my english

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand

"L-" stands for the pronoun . " L-" is a short version of "el". "-a" stands for the infinitive form of "a dus" is equal to "to" from english "to take"
they are tied by this line you put between them "-"
L-a dus = Somebody took him "l" = "el"
Another example would be "S-a"
Ea s-a mutat în România (She moved to Romania)
s- is also a version of saying el/ea .
The pronoun here is not necessary . You could easily say "S-a mutat în România"
We ..have 2 forms of pronouns . The most used one , basic ones : Eu , Tu , Noi , Voi , Ei/Ele . And a lot of "l-" "mi-" (stands for "eu" ) "s-" (stands for ea/el) and so on . This things are quite hard to understand in here ...it may look like i'm talking chinese or whatever . That's why I recommand you to take it easy and try to understand little by little , it's a little bit diffcult until you get used to them . This simple line between those letters that you don't get now , is very important in our grammar .

Thank you both for your help. I'm struggling to understand some Romanian words used in sentence. This means a lot to me :) I'm trying to translate from Croatian to Romanian and sometimes is easy to understand, and sometimes a little from English.
