Rezultatul este incredibil.

The -ul at the end is the definite article in Romanian. Instead of putting a separate word like the before the noun, Romanian usually adds the article to the end of the noun.

• rezultat = result
• rezultatul = the result

So Rezultatul este incredibil literally means The result is incredible.

Este is the 3rd person singular form of the verb a fi, meaning to be.

So:

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

In this sentence, este links the subject rezultatul to the adjective incredibil, just like is in English.

Yes. In everyday Romanian, e is a very common shorter form of este.

So both are correct:

• Rezultatul este incredibil.
• Rezultatul e incredibil.

The version with este can sound a little more formal or careful, while e is very natural in speech.

Because the adjective has to agree with the noun, and rezultatul is singular masculine in form here.

Romanian adjectives change depending on gender and number. Since rezultatul is singular and masculine-form, the adjective is:

• incredibil = masculine singular

Compare:

• rezultatul este incredibil = the result is incredible
• cartea este incredibilă = the book is incredible

It is a neuter noun.

In Romanian, neuter nouns behave:

• like masculine in the singular
• like feminine in the plural

So:

• singular: un rezultat incredibil
• plural: două rezultate incredibile

That is why in your sentence the adjective looks masculine: in the singular, neuter nouns use masculine forms.

The normal word order is:

Subject + verb + adjective/complement

So:

• Rezultatul = subject
• este = verb
• incredibil = predicate adjective

This is the most neutral, standard way to say it.

Romanian can sometimes change word order for emphasis, but Rezultatul este incredibil is the basic and natural version.

Yes, but it changes the emphasis and sounds more marked or dramatic.

For example:

• Incredibil este rezultatul.

This is grammatical, but much less neutral. It may sound literary, rhetorical, or strongly emphatic. For everyday use, Rezultatul este incredibil is the safer choice.

A helpful approximate pronunciation is:

reh-zool-TAH-tool EH-steh een-kreh-dee-BEEL

A few notes:

• z sounds like the z in zoo
• u is like oo in food
• e is usually like e in bet
• i is like ee in see
• the stress is roughly on:
  • rezultaTUL
  • ESte
  • incrediBIL

Romanian spelling is generally fairly phonetic, so pronunciation is more predictable than in English.

Because Romanian usually uses a postposed definite article, meaning the article is attached to the end of the noun instead of standing before it.

So English and Romanian work differently:

• English: the result
• Romanian: rezultatul

This is one of the big structural differences English speakers notice early on.

The plural is:

Rezultatele sunt incredibile.
= The results are incredible.

Changes:

• rezultatul → rezultatele = the result → the results
• este → sunt = is → are
• incredibil → incredibile = incredible (plural form)

This is a good example of how both the noun and adjective change in the plural.

Not always. Like English incredible, Romanian incredibil can be:

• positive: amazing, fantastic
• neutral or context-based: hard to believe
• sometimes even negative: unbelievable in a bad way

So the tone depends on context.

For example:

• Rezultatul este incredibil. could mean The result is amazing.
• In another context, it could mean The result is unbelievable.

Usually, in standard Romanian, you keep the verb:

• Rezultatul este incredibil.
• Rezultatul e incredibil.

Dropping este completely would not be normal standard Romanian in this kind of sentence. So unlike some languages, Romanian generally needs the verb to be in the present tense here.
