Despre is the standard Romanian preposition for introducing the topic of conversation or text. Use it before a noun, pronoun, or clause (e.g., a vorbi despre, a scrie despre). The synonyms listed are slightly more formal. Despre should not be used where English uses "about to" (for imminent actions); Romanian uses other constructions for that meaning.
