Rezultatul este o remiză.

Questions & Answers about Rezultatul este o remiză.

Why is it rezultatul and not just rezultat?

Rezultatul means the result. The ending -ul is the definite article in Romanian, attached to the end of the noun.

  • rezultat = a result
  • rezultatul = the result

This is very common in Romanian. Instead of putting a separate word like the before the noun, Romanian usually adds the article to the noun itself.

Why is there o before remiză?

O is the indefinite article meaning a / an for a feminine singular noun.

So:

  • o remiză = a draw
  • remiza = the draw

Since remiză is feminine singular, Romanian uses o.

How do we know that remiză is feminine?

In this sentence, one clue is the article o, which is used with feminine singular nouns.

So if you see:

  • un
    • noun → usually masculine or neuter singular
  • o
    • noun → feminine singular

Here, o remiză shows that remiză is feminine.

What does este mean, and can it be left out?

Este means is. It is the 3rd person singular form of the verb a fi (to be).

  • eu sunt = I am
  • tu ești = you are
  • el/ea este = he/she/it is

In standard Romanian, este is normally kept in a sentence like this:

  • Rezultatul este o remiză.

In casual speech, some speakers may say e instead of este:

  • Rezultatul e o remiză.

That is very common and natural in conversation.

Why is the word order Rezultatul este o remiză?

This is the normal Romanian pattern:

subject + verb + complement

So here:

  • Rezultatul = subject
  • este = verb
  • o remiză = complement

It works very much like English The result is a draw.

Romanian word order can be flexible, but this version is the most neutral and standard.

Could I also say Este o remiză rezultatul?

You technically could rearrange the sentence in Romanian, but it would sound marked, unusual, or poetic in most normal contexts.

The most natural sentence is:

  • Rezultatul este o remiză.

Romanian does allow flexibility, but beginners should usually stick to the standard order unless there is a special emphasis reason.

How is rezultatul pronounced?

A rough pronunciation is:

reh-zool-TAH-tool

A few notes:

  • r is rolled or tapped
  • z sounds like English z
  • the stress is on ta
  • the final -ul is pronounced, not silent

So do not pronounce it like English result. It is fully Romanian in sound.

How is remiză pronounced?

A rough pronunciation is:

reh-MEE-zuh

Notes:

  • stress is on mi
  • ă is a special Romanian vowel, a short neutral sound, something like the a in sofa

So the last syllable is not a strong zaa sound; it is softer: ză.

What is the role of ă in remiză?

Ă is a separate Romanian letter and sound. It is not just a decorated a.

In remiză, the final ă gives the word its correct Romanian pronunciation and spelling. It is very important to write it correctly, because Romanian diacritics can change both pronunciation and meaning.

So:

That is a big difference.

Is remiză the normal word for a draw in sports or games?

Yes, remiză is a standard word for draw / tie, especially in games and competitions such as chess, football, and similar contexts.

You may also come across egalitate, which can mean equality or a tie, depending on context.

Often:

  • remiză is especially common for a drawn result
  • egalitate can be broader and may sound a bit more general in some contexts

So Rezultatul este o remiză is perfectly natural.

Why is rezultatul definite but remiză indefinite?

Because the sentence is identifying the result as belonging to a category: a draw.

This is similar to English:

  • The result is a draw.

You are talking about one specific result, so rezultatul is definite. But you are classifying it as one kind of outcome, so o remiză is indefinite.

This pattern is very normal in both Romanian and English.

Would Rezultatul este remiză be correct?

Normally, no. Romanian usually needs the article here:

  • Rezultatul este o remiză.

Leaving out o sounds unnatural in standard Romanian in this sentence.

So if you want to say The result is a draw, use:

  • Rezultatul este o remiză.
What case are the nouns in here?

Both nouns are in the nominative form here.

  • Rezultatul is the subject
  • o remiză is a predicate noun after este

Romanian often uses the nominative after forms of a fi (to be) in sentences like this.

So this is a straightforward basic sentence, with no special case change needed.

Can rezultat be masculine or neuter?

Rezultat is a neuter noun in Romanian.

Romanian neuter nouns behave:

So:

  • singular: un rezultat, rezultatul
  • plural: două rezultate, rezultatele

This is why in the singular it may look masculine at first, but grammatically it is neuter.

Is this sentence formal, informal, or neutral?

It is neutral and completely standard.

  • Rezultatul este o remiză. = slightly more formal or careful
  • Rezultatul e o remiză. = more conversational

Both are correct. If you are learning Romanian, the full form este is a very good one to know first.
