Pacea este importantă.

Pacea means the peace, not just peace in a general dictionary form.

In Romanian, the definite article is usually added to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word like English the. So:

• pace = peace
• pacea = the peace

In this sentence, Romanian uses the definite form: Pacea este importantă.

Importantă is an adjective. It describes the noun pacea.

Because pacea is feminine singular, the adjective must also be feminine singular:

• masculine singular: important
• feminine singular: importantă

So Pacea este importantă shows normal adjective agreement in Romanian.

Este means is and comes from the verb a fi (to be).

In Romanian, you normally keep the verb to be in sentences like this. So:

• Pacea este importantă = Peace is important

You generally should not omit este in standard Romanian.

Yes. E is a very common short form of este.

So both are correct:

• Pacea este importantă — a little more formal or careful
• Pacea e importantă — very common in everyday speech

Both mean the same thing.

This sentence has the structure:

• Pacea = subject
• este = linking verb
• importantă = predicate adjective

So importantă is not directly attached to the noun in the way it would be in a noun phrase like pace importantă. Instead, it comes after este, just like in English:

• Peace is important
• Pacea este importantă

Yes, pace is a feminine noun.

You can tell partly from the way the adjective agrees with it:

• importantă = feminine singular

Also, many Romanian nouns ending in -e are feminine, though you cannot rely on that rule in every case. In this sentence, the feminine adjective confirms the noun’s gender.

The final -a is part of the attached definite article.

For a feminine singular noun like pace, the definite form is:

• pace
  • -a → pacea

So the ending marks the.

The final ă marks the feminine singular form of the adjective.

Compare:

• important = masculine singular
• importantă = feminine singular
• importanți = masculine plural
• importante = feminine plural

Since pacea is feminine singular, importantă must match it.

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation guide is:

PA-cha YES-teem-por-TAN-tuh

A few details:

• ce in pacea sounds like che in check
• ea in pacea is pronounced together, roughly ya
• este is usually YES-te
• ă is a short central vowel, something like the a in sofa, but shorter and less stressed

A more careful breakdown:

• Pacea → PA-chea
• este → YES-te
• importantă → im-por-TAN-tə

Yes, it can be.

Romanian often uses the definite form in cases where English uses a bare noun for a general idea. So although pacea literally looks like the peace, the sentence can still express a general statement:

• Pacea este importantă = Peace is important

This is normal Romanian usage and should not always be translated word-for-word.

Yes, but the basic neutral order is:

• Pacea este importantă

Romanian allows some flexibility for emphasis. For example:

• Importantă este pacea — more emphatic or stylistic, like It is peace that is important or Important is peace

Still, for a learner, Pacea este importantă is the safest and most natural standard order.

It can, depending on context, but Pacea este importantă is a very natural and standard way to say it.

A version without the article, Pace este importantă, would not sound normal in standard Romanian for this meaning. In general statements of this type, Romanian often prefers the definite noun.

So for learners, the best sentence to remember is:

• Pacea este importantă.
