Bărbatul este tânăr.

In Romanian, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun, not written as a separate word before it.

So:

• bărbat = man
• bărbatul = the man

The ending -ul is the masculine singular definite article here.

-ul marks the noun as definite, meaning the rather than a.

So:

• un bărbat = a man
• bărbatul = the man

In this sentence, bărbatul is masculine singular and is the subject of the sentence.

The normal word order here is:

subject + verb + adjective

So:

• Bărbatul = subject
• este = verb (is)
• tânăr = adjective (young)

This is the most natural neutral order in Romanian, just like The man is young in English.

Other word orders are possible in special contexts for emphasis, but this version is the standard one to learn first.

Este means is. It is a form of the verb a fi (to be).

Yes, este and e both mean is.

So you can say:

• Bărbatul este tânăr.
• Bărbatul e tânăr.

Both are correct. E is very common in everyday speech, while este may sound slightly fuller or more formal.

Because tânăr is an adjective meaning young, not a noun. In this sentence it describes the subject after the verb to be.

Romanian does not put an article on the adjective here. The definiteness is already shown on the noun:

• bărbatul = the man
• tânăr = young

So the adjective stays just as an adjective.

Yes. Romanian adjectives agree with the noun in gender and number.

For example:

• bărbatul este tânăr = the man is young
• femeia este tânără = the woman is young
• bărbații sunt tineri = the men are young
• femeile sunt tinere = the women are young

So tânăr is the masculine singular form.

These two vowels are often new for English speakers.

• ă is a short neutral sound, like the a in English sofa.
  You hear it in bărbatul and at the end of tânăr.

• â is a deeper central vowel that English does not really have.
  You hear it in tânăr.

A rough pronunciation guide:

• bărbatul ≈ buhr-BAH-tul
• este ≈ YES-te
• tânăr ≈ something like TUH-nuhr, but with the â pronounced more centrally than any normal English vowel

The stress is usually:

• bărBAtul
• ESte
• TÂnăr

Yes, but the meaning changes.

• Bărbatul este tânăr = The man is young
• Un bărbat este tânăr = A man is young

So the choice between bărbatul and un bărbat depends on whether you mean a specific man or just any man.

Bărbat normally means man in the sense of an adult male. It can also mean husband in some contexts.

In this sentence, without any special context, bărbatul is naturally understood as the man.

So:

• bărbat = man
• sometimes also husband, depending on context

You can say Este tânăr in some contexts, especially if it is already clear who you are talking about. Romanian often leaves out pronouns, but nouns are usually kept unless the context makes them obvious.

So:

• Bărbatul este tânăr. = clear, complete sentence
• Este tânăr. = He is young / He’s young, if the person is already understood from context

Including bărbatul makes the sentence explicit: The man is young.
