Questions & Answers about Răspunsul este evident.

What does răspunsul mean, and why does it end in -ul?

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.
