Questions & Answers about Spațiul comercial este lângă sediul social.

Why do spațiul and sediul end in -ul?

Because Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun, not as a separate word in front.

• spațiu = a commercial space / a premises
• spațiul = the commercial space / the premises
• sediu = a headquarters / an office
• sediul = the headquarters / the office

So -ul here works like English the.

Why is comercial after spațiul, and social after sediul?

In Romanian, adjectives usually come after the noun.

So:

• spațiu comercial = commercial space / business premises
• sediu social = registered office

This noun + adjective order is the normal pattern. Romanian can sometimes put an adjective before the noun for emphasis or style, but that is not the default.

What exactly does sediul social mean?

Sediul social is a fixed business/legal expression. It usually means a company’s registered office, official legal address, or legal headquarters.

So even though social may look transparent to an English speaker, the whole phrase should usually be learned as one unit:

• sediu social = registered office

It does not usually mean something like social headquarters in ordinary English.
