In Romanian, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun, not written as a separate word.

So:

• frică = fear

Here, -a is the feminine singular definite article. This is very normal in Romanian.

Why is it frica and not frică?

Because the sentence uses the definite form of the noun.

The definite form is:

This happens with many feminine nouns ending in -ă:

• casă → casa

Also, Romanian often uses the definite form with abstract nouns more naturally than English does, so frica can sometimes sound natural even where English would simply say fear.
