Questions & Answers about Anestezia locală amorțește gingia.

Why does anestezia end in -a?

Because anestezia is the definite singular form of anestezie (anesthesia).

• anestezie = anesthesia / an anesthetic procedure
• anestezia = the anesthesia

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

So:

• anestezie locală = local anesthesia
• anestezia locală = the local anesthesia

In medical or general statements, Romanian often uses the definite form where English might sound more general.

Why is it locală and not local?

Because the adjective has to agree with the noun in gender, number, and definiteness.

Here:

• anestezie / anestezia is feminine singular
• so the adjective must also be feminine singular
• therefore: locală

Compare:

• anestezic local = local anesthetic (masculine noun)
• anestezie locală = local anesthesia (feminine noun)

So locală matches anestezia.
