Questions & Answers about Ana scrie cuvântul.

Why is it cuvântul and not just cuvânt?

Because -ul is the definite article in Romanian, attached to the end of the noun.

• cuvânt = word
• cuvântul = the word

Unlike English, Romanian usually puts the at the end of the noun instead of as a separate word before it.

Why is the article attached to the noun?

Romanian normally uses an enclitic definite article, meaning the article is added to the end of the noun.

So:

• băiat = boy
• băiatul = the boy
• cuvânt = word
• cuvântul = the word

This is one of the big differences between Romanian and English, and it is completely normal in Romanian.
