Questions & Answers about Bandajul este în trusa medicală.

Why is it bandajul and not just bandaj?

Because bandajul means the bandage, while bandaj means bandage in a general sense.

Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like English the.

• bandaj = bandage
• bandajul = the bandage

So in this sentence, bandajul shows that we are talking about a specific bandage.

Why is it trusa and not trusă?

For the same reason: trusa is the definite form, meaning the kit, while trusă is the basic indefinite form, meaning a kit or just kit.

With many feminine nouns ending in -ă, the definite singular form changes that ending to -a:

• trusă = kit
• trusa = the kit

So trusa medicală means the medical kit.

Why does medicală come after trusa?
