Questions & Answers about Un milion este mult.

What does un mean here—a or one?

It can be understood as both.

In Romanian, un is:

• the masculine/neuter singular indefinite article: a / an
• the numeral one

So un milion can mean a million or one million. In this sentence, English often uses A million is a lot, but One million is a lot also matches the Romanian.

Why is it un milion, not o milion?

Because milion is a neuter noun in Romanian.

Neuter nouns in Romanian behave:

• like masculine in the singular
• like feminine in the plural

So you get:

• un milion = one/a million
• două milioane = two million

That is why o milion is incorrect.

Is milion treated like a regular noun in Romanian?
