Questions & Answers about Agentul verifică documentul.
Because Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word before it.
So:
- agent = agent
- agentul = the agent
- document = document
- documentul = the document
This is one of the first big differences English speakers notice in Romanian.
The ending -ul is the definite article for many singular masculine and neuter nouns.
In this sentence:
- agentul = the agent
- documentul = the document
Even though both take -ul, they are not necessarily the same gender type:
- agent is masculine
- document is neuter
In Romanian, neuter nouns behave like masculine in the singular and like feminine in the plural. That is why documentul also uses -ul here.
