Questions & Answers about Bula de aer rămâne în lut.

Why is it bula and not bulă?

Bulă is the basic dictionary form and means a bubble.

Bula means the bubble. Romanian usually adds the definite article to the end of the noun instead of putting a separate word like the in front.

So:

• bulă = a bubble
• bula = the bubble

This is very common in Romanian:

• fată = a girl
• fata = the girl

Why does bulă become bula instead of something like bulăa?

This is just how the feminine singular definite article works for many nouns ending in -ă.

For many feminine nouns:

• indefinite: -ă
• definite: -a

So the final ă often changes to a when the definite article is added.

Examples:

• casă → casa = the house
• masă → masa = the table
• bulă → bula = the bubble

So this is a normal pattern, not an irregular surprise.
