Questions & Answers about Cursa caritabilă începe duminică.

Why is it cursa and not just cursă?

Cursa means the race, while cursă means a race or just race in a dictionary form.

Romanian usually attaches the definite article to the end of the noun instead of putting a separate word like the before it.

• cursă = race
• o cursă = a race
• cursa = the race

So Cursa caritabilă means The charity race.

Why is caritabilă after the noun?

In Romanian, adjectives often come after the noun.

So:

• cursa caritabilă = the charity race

This is the normal Romanian word order. English often puts adjectives before the noun, but Romanian frequently puts them after it.

Why is it caritabilă and not caritabil?

Because the adjective has to agree with the noun in gender and number.

Cursă is a feminine singular noun, so the adjective must also be feminine singular:

• masculine singular: caritabil
• feminine singular: caritabilă

That is why you get cursa caritabilă.
