Sucursala este deschisă.

Because sucursala is the definite form of sucursală.

• sucursală = a branch
• sucursala = the branch

In Romanian, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word like the in English.

So:

• o sucursală = a branch
• sucursala = the branch

Yes. Sucursală is feminine singular.

That matters because other words connected to it must agree with it. In this sentence, the adjective deschisă is also in the feminine singular form to match sucursala.

Because Romanian adjectives must agree with the noun in gender and number.

Here, sucursala is:

• feminine
• singular
• definite

So the adjective must also be feminine singular:

• masculine singular: deschis
• feminine singular: deschisă
• plural: deschise

That is why the sentence is Sucursala este deschisă.

Este means is. It is the 3rd person singular form of the verb a fi (to be).

So the structure is:

• Sucursala = the branch
• este = is
• deschisă = open

Literally: The branch is open.

Yes. E is a very common short form of este in everyday Romanian.

So both are correct:

• Sucursala este deschisă. = a bit more neutral or formal
• Sucursala e deschisă. = very common in speech

Both mean the same thing.

In this sentence, it functions like an adjective, meaning open.

Historically, it comes from the past participle of a deschide (to open), but in sentences like this, you can think of it simply as the adjective open.

So este deschisă means is open, not has been opened.

The normal, neutral word order is:

Sucursala este deschisă.

That is the most natural way to say it in most situations.

Romanian word order is somewhat flexible, but changing it usually changes the emphasis. For example:

• Deschisă este sucursala sounds marked or literary
• Este deschisă sucursala can work in some contexts, but it is less neutral

For a learner, subject + este + adjective is the safest pattern here.

A rough English-style guide is:

soo-koor-SAH-la ES-teh des-KEE-suh

A few notes:

• u is like oo in food
• ă is a short central vowel, something like the a in sofa
• ch in deschisă sounds like k here, because it comes before i

So deschisă sounds roughly like des-KEE-suh.

The difference is indefinite vs definite:

• sucursală = a branch
• sucursala = the branch

Examples:

• O sucursală este deschisă. = A branch is open.
• Sucursala este deschisă. = The branch is open.

This is one of the biggest differences from English: Romanian usually puts the at the end of the noun.

The plural would be:

Sucursalele sunt deschise. = The branches are open.

Breakdown:

• sucursalele = the branches
• sunt = are
• deschise = open (plural form)

So both the noun and the adjective change in the plural.

Yes. Sucursală often refers to a branch of a company, bank, store, or institution, so in many contexts the branch office is open is a very natural English translation.

The exact English wording depends on context:

• bank branch
• store branch
• company branch
• branch office

But the Romanian sentence itself is perfectly normal and general.
