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?

So if you see:

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