Questions & Answers about Situația pare incredibilă.
Why is it situația and not situație?
Situația is the definite form of situație (situation).
Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun, not as a separate word like English the.
- situație = a situation
- situația = the situation
So Situația pare incredibilă means The situation seems incredible, not just A situation seems incredible.
Why does incredibilă end in -ă?
Because it has to agree with situația.
Situație / situația is:
- feminine
- singular
So the adjective also has to be feminine singular:
- masculine singular: incredibil
- feminine singular: incredibilă
- masculine plural: incredibili
- feminine plural: incredibile
So:
- un fapt incredibil = an incredible fact
- o situație incredibilă = an incredible situation
Why is pare used here? What form is it?
