Credem că răspunsul este corect.

Credem is the 1st person plural present tense of the verb a crede (to believe, to think).

So:

• eu cred = I believe / I think
• tu crezi = you believe
• el/ea crede = he/she believes
• noi credem = we believe
• voi credeți = you all believe
• ei/ele cred = they believe

In this sentence, credem means we believe.

Romanian often drops subject pronouns when they are not needed, because the verb ending already shows who the subject is.

• credem already tells you the subject is we
• so Credem că... is perfectly natural

You can say Noi credem că răspunsul este corect, but adding noi usually gives extra emphasis, as if you are stressing we in particular.

Că means that and introduces a subordinate clause.

So the structure is:

• Credem = we believe
• că răspunsul este corect = that the answer is correct

In Romanian, că is very commonly used after verbs like:

• a crede = to believe
• a spune = to say
• a ști = to know
• a crede = to think/believe

Unlike English, where that is often omitted, Romanian usually keeps că in this kind of sentence.

Because răspunsul means the answer, while răspuns means an answer or just answer in a general sense.

Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun, not in front of it.

So:

• răspuns = answer
• răspunsul = the answer

This -ul ending is the definite article for this noun.

That is one of the big differences from English: Romanian says answer-the instead of the answer.

Yes. Este is the full form of is, from the verb a fi (to be).

You will also often hear:

• este = is
• e = is

So both of these are correct:

• Credem că răspunsul este corect.
• Credem că răspunsul e corect.

Este sounds a bit more formal or careful.
E is very common in everyday speech.

Because răspunsul is a neuter noun, and in Romanian, neuter nouns behave like masculine in the singular and feminine in the plural.

Since the noun here is singular:

• răspunsul = singular
• the adjective takes the masculine singular form
• so: corect

Compare:

• răspunsul corect = the correct answer
• răspunsurile corecte = the correct answers

So in the singular, a neuter noun uses the same adjective form as a masculine noun.

The normal, neutral order is:

• Credem că răspunsul este corect.

Romanian word order is somewhat flexible, but this version is the most natural in standard usage.

Inside the clause răspunsul este corect, the usual order is:

• subject: răspunsul
• verb: este
• adjective/complement: corect

You may hear different orders in speech for emphasis, but for a learner, this sentence is the best standard pattern to follow.

Usually, no.

In English, you can say:

• We believe that the answer is correct
• We believe the answer is correct

In Romanian, with this structure, că is normally required:

• Credem că răspunsul este corect.

Leaving out că would generally sound wrong or unnatural here.

So this is a useful rule for learners: after verbs like a crede, a spune, a ști, you will very often need că before a full clause.

The letter ă is a special Romanian vowel. It is very common and important.

In this sentence:

• că
• răspunsul

both contain ă.

A few useful points:

• ă is not the same as plain a
• Romanian diacritics should be written correctly whenever possible
• changing or omitting them can make a word look incorrect, and sometimes change meaning

For example:

• ca and că are different words

So it is a good habit to learn and type the diacritics from the beginning.

Not always. Depending on context, a crede can mean:

• to believe
• to think
• sometimes to suppose

So Credem că răspunsul este corect could correspond naturally to:

• We believe that the answer is correct
• We think that the answer is correct

The exact English choice depends on tone and context, but the Romanian grammar stays the same.

Only the verb a crede would need to change to match the subject.

For example:

• Cred că răspunsul este corect. = I believe...
• Crezi că răspunsul este corect. = You believe...
• Crede că răspunsul este corect. = He/She believes...
• Credem că răspunsul este corect. = We believe...
• Credeți că răspunsul este corect. = You all believe...
• Cred că răspunsul este corect. = They believe...

Notice that cred can mean both I believe and they believe; context or an added pronoun usually makes it clear.
