Etymology
Îți is the unstressed dative clitic pronoun for the second person singular in Romanian, meaning 'to you'. It comes from Latin tibi, the dative of tu, worn down through everyday speech to the short clitic ți. The initial î is a prosthetic vowel that Romanian adds before certain consonant-initial clitics at the start of a clause, for ease of pronunciation, not for meaning.
