Questions & Answers about Calificarea este în CV.
Why does calificarea end in -a?
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.
What exactly does calificarea mean here?
It means the qualification. Depending on context, calificare can refer to a qualification, certification, or professional training/skill level. In this sentence, it most naturally means that the relevant qualification is listed in the CV.
What is este?
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.
Can Romanian leave out este, like some other languages do?
