Questions & Answers about Grosimea este importantă.
Grosime means thickness in the indefinite form.
Grosimea means the thickness, with the definite article attached to the end of the noun. Romanian usually puts the definite article after the noun, not before it as English does.
- grosime = thickness
- grosimea = the thickness
In sentences about general ideas or abstract qualities, Romanian often uses the definite form where English would just use a bare noun. So Grosimea este importantă is a very natural way to say Thickness is important.
That is a basic feature of Romanian grammar. Romanian has a postposed definite article, meaning the article is added to the end of the noun.
For feminine singular nouns like grosime, the definite article is often -a, but the exact form depends on the noun type.
So:
- grosime → grosimea
This is different from English, where you would say the thickness with a separate word.
