Questions & Answers about Costumul este pe scenă.

What does costumul mean, and why does it end in -ul?

Costumul means the suit or the costume.

It is made from:

• costum = suit / costume
• -ul = the definite article, meaning the

A very important Romanian pattern is that the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun, not written as a separate word like English the.

So:

• costum = a suit / a costume
• costumul = the suit / the costume

Does costum mean suit or costume?

It can mean either one. Romanian costum is broader than English costume.

Depending on context, it may mean:

• a suit, as in formal clothes
• a costume, as in stage clothes or a special outfit

So in this sentence, the exact English choice depends on the situation.
