Răspunsul este evident.

Răspunsul means the answer.

The base noun is răspuns = answer.
The ending -ul is the definite article attached to the noun, so:

• răspuns = an answer / answer
• răspunsul = the answer

Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun, unlike English, which uses a separate word like the.

Este means is and comes from the verb a fi = to be.

So the structure is:

• Răspunsul = the answer
• este = is
• evident = obvious / evident

Together: The answer is obvious.

In everyday Romanian, people often shorten este to e:

• Răspunsul este evident.
• Răspunsul e evident.

Both are correct. Este sounds a little more formal or careful.

It actually does match, but in a way that can be confusing at first.

Răspuns is a neuter noun in Romanian. Neuter nouns behave:

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

Since răspunsul is singular, the adjective uses the masculine singular form:

• răspunsul este evident = the answer is obvious

Compare:

• singular: răspuns evident
• plural: răspunsuri evidente

So evident is the correct singular form here.

Răspuns is neuter.

This is important because Romanian neuter nouns behave differently depending on number:

• singular: like masculine
• plural: like feminine

Examples:

• un răspuns bun = a good answer
• două răspunsuri bune = two good answers

So in your sentence, because the noun is singular, everything agrees as if it were masculine singular.

A simple approximate pronunciation is:

ruh-SPUN-sool ES-teh eh-vee-DENT

A few helpful notes:

• ă in Răspunsul is a short central vowel, something like the a in about
• u in -sul is pronounced, so -sul is roughly sool
• evident has the stress on the last syllable: e-vi-DENT

If you want to sound more natural, keep the rhythm fairly smooth: Răspunsul este evident.

No, not in a normal sentence like this.

Romanian usually keeps the verb to be in the present tense:

• Răspunsul este evident.
• Răspunsul e evident.

You would not normally say just:

• Răspunsul evident. ❌

That sounds incomplete in standard Romanian.

This is the most neutral and natural word order:

subject + verb + adjective/complement

So:

• Răspunsul = subject
• este = verb
• evident = predicate adjective

Romanian word order is somewhat flexible, but this version is the standard, straightforward way to say it.

Other word orders may be possible in special contexts for emphasis, but for a learner, Răspunsul este evident is the best basic pattern to remember.

It is very close, but in this sentence it often corresponds more naturally to English obvious.

So:

• Răspunsul este evident. = The answer is obvious.

Romanian evident can mean evident, obvious, or clear, depending on context.

In everyday English, The answer is obvious is usually the most natural translation.

Yes. Clar means clear, and in many contexts it works well:

• Răspunsul este clar. = The answer is clear.

But there is a small nuance:

• evident = obvious / self-evident
• clar = clear / easy to understand

Sometimes they overlap, but they are not always identical.
In your sentence, evident suggests that the answer is plainly obvious.

The plural would be:

Răspunsurile sunt evidente.
= The answers are obvious.

Changes:

• răspunsul → răspunsurile = the answers
• este → sunt = are
• evident → evidente = obvious (plural form)

This is a good example of how the neuter noun behaves like feminine in the plural.

It is perfectly natural, but slightly more formal with este.

You may hear both:

• Răspunsul este evident. = a bit more formal or careful
• Răspunsul e evident. = very common in speech

Both are correct, and both sound natural. If you are speaking casually, e is extremely common.
