Questions & Answers about Situația este clară.
Why does situația mean the situation? Where is the?
In Romanian, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun instead of standing as a separate word.
- situație = situation / a situation
- situația = the situation
So Romanian often does in one word what English does in two.
Why is it clară and not clar?
Because adjectives in Romanian usually agree with the noun in gender and number.
Here, situația is a feminine singular noun, so the adjective must also be feminine singular:
- masculine singular: clar
- feminine singular: clară
So:
- un lucru clar = a clear thing
- o situație clară = a clear situation
