Questions & Answers about Ambulanța ajunge repede.

Why is ambulanța written with -a at the end? Does it mean the ambulance?

Yes. Ambulanța means the ambulance.

In Romanian, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word like English the.

• ambulanță = an ambulance / ambulance
• ambulanța = the ambulance

So the -a here is the feminine singular definite article.

Why does ambulanță become ambulanța instead of just adding -a directly?

Because the basic noun ends in -ă:

• ambulanță

When many feminine nouns ending in -ă become definite, that final -ă changes and the definite form becomes -a with the article attached:

• casă → casa = the house
• mașină → mașina = the car
• ambulanță → ambulanța = the ambulance

So this is a normal Romanian pattern.
