Avizul are ștampila.

Because Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun, not before it as English does.

• aviz = notice / approval / advisory
• avizul = the notice / the approval

So -ul is the masculine/neuter singular definite article attached to the noun.

This is one of the first big differences English speakers notice in Romanian:

• English: the notice
• Romanian: avizul

For the same reason: ștampila means the stamp.

• ștampilă = a stamp
• ștampila = the stamp

Here the noun is feminine singular, and the definite article is attached to the end as -a.

So the sentence contains two definite nouns:

• avizul = the notice
• ștampila = the stamp

Are is the 3rd person singular form of the verb a avea, meaning to have.

So:

• eu am = I have
• tu ai = you have
• el/ea are = he/she/it has

In this sentence, avizul is singular, so the verb is are:

• Avizul are ștampila. = The notice has the stamp.

In this sentence:

• Avizul is the subject
• are is the verb
• ștampila is the direct object

A big clue is word order: Romanian commonly uses subject + verb + object, just like English.

So the basic structure is:

• Avizul = the thing doing the having
• are = has
• ștampila = the thing being had

Also, after a avea, the noun that follows is normally the direct object, so ștampila is understood as the thing possessed.

Yes, it can be normal. Romanian often uses the definite article when both speaker and listener know exactly which things are meant.

So Avizul are ștampila can mean something like:

• the notice in question
• the specific stamp that is expected or required

This may sound a little more definite than English sometimes would. In Romanian, definiteness is used quite naturally when the context makes the referents clear.

That said, depending on context, Romanian could also use indefinite forms:

• Un aviz are o ștampilă. = A notice has a stamp.

Aviz is a neuter noun.

In Romanian, neuter nouns behave:

• like masculine in the singular
• like feminine in the plural

That is why in the singular you get:

• un aviz
• avizul

So even though it is neuter, its singular forms look masculine.

Yes. Ștampilă is a feminine noun.

That is why you get:

• o ștampilă = a stamp
• ștampila = the stamp

This feminine pattern is very common:

• casă → casa
• masă → masa
• ștampilă → ștampila

Yes, Romanian word order is somewhat flexible, but Avizul are ștampila is the most neutral order.

The standard pattern is:

• subject + verb + object

You may sometimes see different orders for emphasis, contrast, or style, but for a learner, the safest and most natural version is the one given.

So:

• Avizul are ștampila. = neutral and straightforward

The letter ș is pronounced like English sh in shoe.

So:

• ștampilă starts with a sh sound

A rough pronunciation guide:

• avizul ≈ ah-VEE-zool
• are ≈ AH-reh
• ștampila ≈ shtahm-PEE-lah

A few details:

• ș = sh
• a is usually a clear open vowel, like a in father
• Romanian vowels are generally pronounced clearly, not reduced as much as in English

Because Romanian usually uses an enclitic definite article, which means the article is attached to the end of the noun.

Compare:

• English: the notice

• Romanian: avizul

• English: the stamp
• Romanian: ștampila

So instead of a separate word like the, Romanian builds definiteness directly into the noun.

It is grammatically correct, but whether it sounds fully natural depends on context.

Romanian often uses a avea in practical, administrative, or everyday statements, so the sentence can work if you mean something like:

• the notice bears the stamp
• the document has the stamp on it

In some contexts, Romanian might also use other phrasing to sound more specific, for example if you want to stress that the stamp is physically on the document. But as a learning sentence, Avizul are ștampila is useful and grammatical.

The indefinite version would be:

• Un aviz are o ștampilă.

Here:

• un aviz = a notice
• o ștampilă = a stamp

So the contrast is:

• Avizul are ștampila. = The notice has the stamp.
• Un aviz are o ștampilă. = A notice has a stamp.

This is a good way to see how Romanian marks definiteness:

• with un / o for indefinite nouns
• with endings like -ul and -a for definite nouns
