Questions & Answers about Exemplarul indisponibil apare în catalog.

What does exemplarul mean here exactly?

In catalog or library language, exemplar usually means copy or item, not example in the everyday English sense. So exemplarul indisponibil means the unavailable copy/item.

Why does exemplarul end in -ul?

Because Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun.

• exemplar = a copy / an item
• exemplarul = the copy / the item

So the English word the is not separate here; it is attached to the noun as -ul.

Why is indisponibil after the noun?

Because the normal Romanian order is noun + adjective.

So:

• exemplarul indisponibil = the unavailable copy

That is the most neutral, standard order. Romanian can put the adjective before the noun for emphasis or style, but that is less neutral.

Why doesn’t indisponibil change form here?
