Questions & Answers about La reĝisoro faris bonan filmon.

Why does the sentence start with la?

La is the definite article, meaning the.

So la reĝisoro means the director, not just a director.

A very important Esperanto point:
Esperanto has no indefinite article. There is no separate word for a/an.

So:

• reĝisoro = a director or just director
• la reĝisoro = the director

Why is it reĝisoro? Is that a normal Esperanto word?

Yes. Reĝisoro is a normal Esperanto noun meaning director (especially of a film, play, etc.).

Like most Esperanto nouns, it ends in -o:

• reĝisoro = director
• filmo = film

The word is borrowed in an Esperanto-style form, which is very common in the language.
