Questions & Answers about Regele este aici.

Why is it regele and not rege?

Because regele means the king, while rege means a king or just king 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.

• rege = king
• regele = the king

So in this sentence, regele este aici is literally king-the is here.

How does the definite article work in regele?

In Romanian, the definite article is often attached directly to the noun.

For masculine singular nouns, the article is commonly -l or -le, depending on the noun’s form. With rege, the definite form is:

• rege → regele

This is something you usually learn word by word, because the exact form can vary.
