Questions & Answers about Frica este puternică.
Because -a at the end is the definite article attached to the noun.
- frică = fear / a fear
- frica = the fear
Romanian usually puts the at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word before it.
So:
- frică = indefinite
- frica = definite
In a sentence like Frica este puternică, Romanian often uses the definite form for general statements about abstract ideas, much like English can say Fear is powerful.
Romanian normally uses a postposed definite article, which means the article is added to the end of the noun.
Examples:
- băiat = boy
băiatul = the boy
- frică = fear
- frica = the fear
This is a normal feature of Romanian grammar and is one of the things that makes it different from English.
