Questions & Answers about Linia de start este în parc.

Why is it linia and not linie?

The basic noun is linie, meaning line.

When Romanian wants to say the line, it usually adds the definite article to the end of the noun instead of putting a separate word before it. So:

• linie = a line
• linia = the line

That is why linia de start means the start line / the starting line.

Why is there de in linia de start?

In Romanian, de + noun is a very common way to show what something is for, what type it is, or how it is classified.

So:

• linie de start = literally line of start
• natural English meaning: start line or starting line

This pattern is very common in Romanian. The second noun often stays without an article in this structure.
