Extrasul de cont arată soldul.

Because extrasul means the statement / the extract, with the definite article attached to the end of the noun.

In Romanian, the is usually added as a suffix:

• extras = a statement / an extract
• extrasul = the statement / the extract

This is very common in Romanian:

• cont = account
• contul = the account
• sold = balance
• soldul = the balance

De cont means of account or, more naturally in English, account.

So:

• extras de cont = account statement / bank statement
• literally: statement of account

Romanian often uses de + noun where English uses a noun as an adjective.

Other similar examples:

• carte de istorie = history book
• sală de sport = gym / sports hall
• periuță de dinți = toothbrush

Because extras de cont is a fixed, standard expression meaning account statement or bank statement.

• extrasul de cont = the account statement
• extrasul contului would mean something more like the statement of the account, which is grammatically possible in some contexts, but less idiomatic as the usual name of the document.

So for the normal banking document, extras de cont is the natural phrase.

Because soldul means the balance.

In Romanian, if you are talking about a specific balance shown on a specific statement, it is natural to use the definite form:

• sold = a balance
• soldul = the balance

So:

• Extrasul de cont arată soldul. = The bank statement shows the balance.

Romanian often uses the definite article where English also uses the, but the article is attached to the noun instead of appearing as a separate word.

Arată is the 3rd person singular present tense of the verb a arăta, meaning to show.

So:

• eu arăt = I show
• tu arăți = you show
• el/ea arată = he/she/it shows

In your sentence, the subject is extrasul de cont, which is singular, so arată is the correct form:

• Extrasul de cont arată soldul.
• The bank statement shows the balance.

No. A arăta can have several related meanings, including:

• to show
• to indicate
• to look (in some contexts)

Examples:

• Harta arată drumul. = The map shows the way.
• Ceasul arată ora exactă. = The clock shows the exact time.
• Arăți obosit. = You look tired.

In your sentence, it clearly means shows.

This is the most neutral word order:

• subject: Extrasul de cont
• verb: arată
• object: soldul

So it follows a normal Subject–Verb–Object pattern, just like English.

You can change the order in Romanian for emphasis, but the basic version is the most natural for a learner:

• Extrasul de cont arată soldul. = neutral
• Soldul îl arată extrasul de cont. = marked/emphatic, not the normal starting point

So yes, word order can change, but the original sentence is the standard one.

Because soldul is the thing being shown.

In the sentence:

• Extrasul de cont = the subject, the thing doing the action
• arată = the verb
• soldul = the direct object, the thing shown

English helps here too:

• The bank statement shows the balance.

Romanian often marks the object mainly through position and meaning, rather than through a special ending.

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation guide would be:

• extrasul ≈ ek-STRA-sool
• de ≈ deh
• cont ≈ kont
• arată ≈ a-RA-tuh

A few useful notes:

• x in extrasul sounds like ks
• ă is a central vowel, like a short neutral uh
• stress is typically:
  • exTRAsul
  • aRAtă

Yes. That would mean:

• Un extras de cont arată soldul. = A bank statement shows the balance.

This changes the meaning slightly:

• Extrasul de cont arată soldul. = The bank statement shows the balance.
• Un extras de cont arată soldul. = A bank statement shows the balance.

So the original sentence refers to a specific statement, while un extras de cont is indefinite.

Yes. Extras can mean an extract or excerpt in a more general sense.

Examples:

• extras de cont = account statement / bank statement
• extras dintr-un document = extract from a document
• extras dintr-o carte = excerpt from a book

So the exact meaning depends on context. In banking, extras de cont is the standard expression.

Because Romanian usually has a postposed definite article, meaning the article is attached to the end of the noun.

Compare:

• English: the statement

• Romanian: extrasul

• English: the balance
• Romanian: soldul

This is one of the main structural differences between English and Romanian. It feels unusual at first for English speakers, but it becomes very natural with practice.

Yes, it is grammatical and natural.

It is a straightforward sentence meaning that the bank statement displays the balance. In real life, Romanian speakers might also use related sentences such as:

• Extrasul de cont arată soldul disponibil. = The bank statement shows the available balance.
• Pe extrasul de cont apare soldul. = The balance appears on the bank statement.

But your original sentence is perfectly good Romanian.
