Questions & Answers about Reflectorul este pe actor.

What does reflectorul mean exactly?

Reflectorul means the spotlight, the floodlight, or sometimes the reflector/light depending on context.

In this sentence, the most natural English meaning is usually the spotlight or the light.

It is made of:

• reflector = reflector / spotlight / lamp
• -ul = the

So reflectorul = the reflector / the spotlight.

Why does reflector become reflectorul?

Romanian usually adds the definite article to the end of the noun instead of putting a separate word like the in front.

So:

• reflector = a reflector / reflector
• reflectorul = the reflector

This is very common in Romanian:

• băiat = boy
• băiatul = the boy

So -ul here is the masculine/neuter singular definite article.
