Inflamația este la gingie.

Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word.

• inflamație = inflammation
• inflamația = the inflammation

So inflamația already includes the meaning of the inflammation.

Este is the 3rd person singular of a fi = to be.

So here it means is.

• eu sunt = I am
• tu ești = you are
• el/ea este = he/she/it is

In everyday speech, Romanians often shorten este to e:

• Inflamația e la gingie.

That is more casual, but it means the same thing.

This is a very common learner question, because English often uses in, while Romanian often uses la for symptoms or location on the body.

With health problems, Romanian frequently uses la to mean something like:

• at the
• in the area of
• in

Examples:

• Mă doare la dinte. = My tooth hurts.
• Are o problemă la ochi. = He/She has a problem with the eye.

So la gingie is a natural way to say the inflammation is at/in the gum area.

În gingie is also possible, but it sounds a bit more literally inside the gum.

Because after la, Romanian often uses the noun without the definite article when talking about a body area in a general way.

• la gingie = at/in the gum area
• la gingia... = at the specific gum...

So gingie here sounds general and natural.

If you said la gingia, it would usually need more context, such as:

• la gingia stângă = at the left gum
• la gingia de sus = at the upper gum

Gingie is singular: gum.

The plural is gingii: gums.

So:

• o gingie = a gum
• gingia = the gum
• gingii = gums
• gingiile = the gums

Romanian may use the singular in some medical or descriptive contexts where English might more naturally use gums.

Yes. Inflamație is a feminine noun.

That matters mainly for the article:

• o inflamație = an inflammation
• inflamația = the inflammation

Gingie is also feminine:

• o gingie = a gum
• gingia = the gum

In this sentence, este does not change form for gender, so both masculine and feminine subjects use este.

A rough guide:

• inflamația ≈ in-fla-ma-TSI-a
• gingie ≈ JIN-ji-e

A few useful pronunciation points:

• ț sounds like ts in cats
• gi before e or i usually sounds like the j in jam

So the ț in inflamația is important: it is not an English sh or ch sound.

Yes, but the basic order here is the most neutral:

• Inflamația este la gingie.

Romanian word order is fairly flexible. You could move parts around for emphasis, but that changes the focus.

For example:

• La gingie este inflamația.

This sounds more marked, as if you are emphasizing where the inflammation is.

For a learner, the original order is the safest and most natural choice.

It is understandable and can sound natural, especially in context. But depending on style, a native speaker might also say:

• E o inflamație la gingie. = There is an inflammation in the gum.
• Inflamația e în gingie. = The inflammation is in the gum.
• Există o inflamație la gingie. = There is an inflammation in the gum.

So your sentence is fine, but in real medical or everyday speech, there are several natural alternatives.

Because Romanian does not need a separate subject pronoun when the subject noun is already present.

Here, the subject is already inflamația, so adding a pronoun would be unnecessary.

Romanian often leaves out pronouns unless they are needed for emphasis or contrast. That is different from English, which usually requires an explicit subject like it or the inflammation.
