Calificarea este în CV.

Because Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun, not as a separate word before it.

• calificare = qualification
• calificarea = the qualification

So in this sentence, calificarea means the qualification, not just qualification.

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

So:

• este = is

In everyday speech, Romanians often shorten este to e:

• Calificarea e în CV.

That version is very common and natural in conversation.

Usually no, not in a normal complete sentence like this. Standard Romanian normally keeps the verb to be in the present tense.

So the natural full sentence is:

• Calificarea este în CV.
• or more casually, Calificarea e în CV.

Leaving it out completely would sound incomplete in ordinary speech.

În means in or inside.

Here, în CV means in the CV / on the CV. Romanian uses în where English might sometimes say in or on, depending on the context. With documents, Romanian often uses în even where English speakers might think of information as being on a document.

CV is an acronym, and Romanian often leaves acronyms bare in expressions like this, especially when the meaning is already clear.

So în CV is perfectly natural for in the CV.

But Romanian can also attach the definite article to an acronym:

• CV-ul = the CV

For example:

• Calificarea este în CV-ul meu. = The qualification is in my CV.

So both patterns exist, but in your sentence, în CV is normal and idiomatic.

It is usually pronounced letter by letter:

• C = ce
• V = ve

So CV is said as ce-ve.

No, it is a very normal Romanian word order:

• Calificarea = the subject
• este = the verb
• în CV = a prepositional phrase

So the structure is basically:

• The qualification
  • is
    • in the CV

This is neutral and straightforward. Romanian can change word order for emphasis, but this version is the most basic one.

Yes. That is a very common, natural spoken version.

• este = more full/formal/neutral
• e = shorter and more conversational

Both are correct.

A simple English-friendly approximation is:

kah-lee-fee-kah-RE-a ES-teh uhn che-VEH

A few notes:

• calificarea has the stress near the end: -RE-
• este sounds like ES-teh
• în has a Romanian vowel that does not match English exactly, but uhn is a rough approximation
• CV is che-VEH / ce-ve

Romanian often uses the definite form where English might also use the, especially when referring to a specific item already understood from context.

So calificarea suggests a specific qualification being talked about, not just qualifications in general. If you wanted a more general or indefinite sense, you might use o calificare:

• O calificare este în CV. = A qualification is in the CV.

But your sentence uses the qualification, which sounds more specific.
