Răspunsul este greșit.

Because -ul is the Romanian definite article attached to the end of the noun.

• răspuns = answer / an answer
• răspunsul = the answer

Unlike English, Romanian usually puts the at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word.

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

So:

• Răspunsul este greșit = The answer is wrong

In everyday Romanian, este is often omitted:

• Răspunsul e greșit
• sometimes even Răspunsul greșit in certain contexts, though that is not the normal full sentence here

The full form este is correct and slightly more formal or neutral than e.

Because it is the adjective/predicate adjective describing răspunsul.

Romanian often follows a structure similar to English here:

• Subject + to be + adjective
• Răspunsul + este + greșit

So the word order is very natural and standard.

Greșit means wrong, incorrect, or mistaken, depending on context.

In this sentence, the best translation is usually:

• The answer is wrong
• or The answer is incorrect

It comes from the idea of making a mistake: a greși = to make a mistake / to be wrong.

Yes. Romanian adjectives usually agree with the noun in gender and number.

Here:

• răspunsul is masculine singular
• so the adjective is greșit (masculine singular)

Other forms include:

• greșită = feminine singular
• greșiți = masculine plural
• greșite = feminine/neuter plural

Examples:

• Cartea este greșită = The book is wrong/incorrect
• Răspunsurile sunt greșite = The answers are wrong

Yes. Răspuns is a masculine noun in Romanian.

You can tell from forms like:

• un răspuns = an answer
• răspunsul = the answer

In the plural, it behaves like a neuter-pattern noun in the sense typical of Romanian noun classes:

• singular: masculine-like
• plural: feminine-like

So:

• un răspuns
• două răspunsuri
• răspunsurile

This is normal in Romanian for many so-called neuter nouns, though learners are often first taught to focus on the actual forms rather than the terminology.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

• Răspunsul ≈ ruh-SPOON-sool
• este ≈ YES-te
• greșit ≈ greh-SHEET

A few important sounds:

• ă is a short central vowel, something like the a in about
• ș is pronounced sh
• e in este is a clear eh/ye sound, not silent

The stress is usually:

• răsPUNSul
• ESte
• greȘIT

ă is a very common Romanian vowel. It is pronounced like a relaxed, short uh sound.

For an English speaker, it is somewhat similar to:

• the a in about
• the u in supply

So ră- is not like English ra in rat. It is closer to ruh.

ș is pronounced like English sh.

So:

• s = normal s sound
• ș = sh sound

That means greșit sounds like greh-sheet, not greh-seet.

The comma under the letter matters. Writing gresit instead of greșit is a common typing simplification online, but the correct spelling is greșit.

Yes. That is very natural.

• Răspunsul este greșit = full form
• Răspunsul e greșit = shorter, very common in speech

Both are correct. The version with este sounds a bit more formal or careful.

It is possible to change the order for emphasis, but it would sound marked or stylistically unusual in normal conversation.

The standard, neutral sentence is:

• Răspunsul este greșit

If you move words around, the meaning stays similar, but the emphasis changes. For learners, it is best to use the standard order unless you have a reason to sound emphatic or literary.

You make it negative with nu before the verb:

• Răspunsul nu este greșit.
• Răspunsul nu e greșit.

This means:

• The answer is not wrong
• or The answer is not incorrect

So the pattern is:

• este = is
• nu este = is not
