Questions & Answers about Mutarea este ciudată.

What does mutarea mean here?

Mutarea means the move.

It comes from the noun mutare, which can mean move, moving, or relocation, depending on context. In this sentence, -a at the end makes it definite, so mutare = a move, but mutarea = the move.

Why does mutare become mutarea?

Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun, instead of using a separate word like English the.

So:

• mutare = a move
• mutarea = the move

This is very common in Romanian:

• fată = girl
• fata = the girl

So mutarea literally means move-the, but in natural English that is just the move.

Why is the sentence Mutarea este ciudată and not Mutarea este ciudat?
