Questions & Answers about Banda adezivă închide cutia.
Why is it banda and not bandă?
Because banda is the definite form: the tape.
In Romanian, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word like the in English.
- bandă = a tape / tape
- banda = the tape
So Banda adezivă means the adhesive tape.
Why is it cutia and not cutie?
For the same reason: cutia is the definite form, meaning the box.
- cutie = a box
- cutia = the box
Romanian often adds the definite article to the noun itself.
Also notice that cutie changes a bit when it becomes definite:
- cutie → cutia
This kind of change is normal in Romanian noun forms.
Why is the adjective after the noun in banda adezivă?
