Mănușile de unică folosință sunt lângă pansament.

Mănușile means the gloves, while mănuși means simply gloves.

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

• mănuși = gloves
• mănușile = the gloves

So mănușile de unică folosință means the disposable gloves.

The singular is mănușă, meaning glove.

Here are the main forms:

• o mănușă = a glove
• mănușa = the glove
• mănuși = gloves
• mănușile = the gloves

The noun mănușă is feminine.

It means for single use, or more naturally in English, disposable or single-use.

Literally, it is something like:

• de = of / for
• unică = single, unique
• folosință = use

So the whole expression de unică folosință is a standard Romanian phrase for disposable items, especially in medical or hygiene contexts.

Because unică does not agree with mănușile directly. It agrees with folosință, which is a feminine singular noun.

The structure is:

• mănușile = the gloves
• de unică folosință = of single use

So literally, Romanian is saying the gloves of single use.

Since folosință is feminine singular, the adjective is also feminine singular:

• unică folosință

Usually, no. This expression stays the same even when the noun before it changes number.

For example:

• o mască de unică folosință = a disposable mask
• măști de unică folosință = disposable masks
• o seringă de unică folosință = a disposable syringe
• seringi de unică folosință = disposable syringes

That is because the phrase is built around folosință, which stays singular.

Sunt means are. It is the present tense, 3rd person plural, of the verb a fi = to be.

Because mănușile is plural, the verb is plural too:

• Mănușile sunt... = The gloves are...

If the subject were singular, you would use:

• este or e = is

For example:

• Mănușa este lângă pansament. = The glove is next to the bandage/dressing.

Lângă means next to, beside, or near.

It is a preposition. In Romanian grammar, lângă takes the accusative.

With regular nouns, you usually do not see a big change in form after this preposition:

• lângă masă = next to the table
• lângă pat = next to the bed
• lângă pansament = next to the bandage/dressing

With pronouns, the forms are clearer:

• lângă mine = next to me
• lângă el = next to him
• lângă ea = next to her

This is a very natural question, because English often requires an article where Romanian may not.

Pansament by itself is the basic noun form, and in some contexts Romanian can use a bare noun after a preposition, especially in practical, medical, inventory, or label-like contexts.

So:

• lângă pansament can sound like next to the dressing/bandage item or by the dressing supplies, depending on context

If you want to be more explicit, Romanian can also say:

• lângă un pansament = next to a bandage/dressing
• lângă pansamentul steril = next to the sterile dressing

So the form in your sentence is possible, but the exact nuance depends on context.

Pansament is a neuter noun.

Romanian neuter nouns behave:

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

So you get:

• un pansament = a bandage/dressing
• două pansamente = two bandages/dressings

This masculine-in-singular / feminine-in-plural pattern is normal for Romanian neuter nouns.

Yes. Depending on context, pansament can be translated as bandage, dressing, or sometimes refer more generally to wound dressing material.

In medical English, dressing is often the more precise translation. In everyday English, bandage may also be used.

So if the meaning shown to the learner says bandage, that is not necessarily wrong, but dressing may be more exact in some contexts.

No, Romanian word order is fairly flexible.

The neutral order here is:

• Mănușile de unică folosință sunt lângă pansament.

This is a straightforward subject + verb + place expression structure.

But Romanian can move parts around for emphasis. For example:

• Lângă pansament sunt mănușile de unică folosință.

That puts more focus on the location.

So the original order is the most neutral and natural for simply stating where the gloves are.

A rough English-style pronunciation is:

muh-NOO-shee-leh deh OO-nee-kuh foh-loh-SEEN-tsuh sunt LUNG-guh pan-sah-MENT

A few useful sound notes:

• ă sounds like the a in sofa
• ș sounds like sh
• ț sounds like ts
• â has no exact English equivalent; it is a central vowel, and in lângă it may sound unfamiliar at first

So parts of the sentence sound roughly like:

• mănușile → muh-NOO-shee-leh
• folosință → foh-loh-SEEN-tsuh
• lângă → approximately LUNG-guh, but with a more central vowel than normal English u
