Taxa de reziliere este mare.

Because taxa is the definite form: the fee.

• taxă = a fee
• taxa = the fee

Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like English the.

So:

• taxă de reziliere = a termination/cancellation fee
• taxa de reziliere = the termination/cancellation fee

De reziliere means something like for termination or of termination, depending on how naturally you want to phrase it in English.

In Romanian, noun + de + noun is a very common pattern for naming a type of thing:

• taxă de intrare = entry fee
• sală de sport = gym
• bilet de avion = plane ticket

So taxă de reziliere is a set expression meaning termination fee or cancellation fee.

Because after de, Romanian often uses the second noun without an article when it describes the type or purpose of the first noun.

So here reziliere is not the termination in a specific, standalone sense. It is simply identifying what kind of fee it is:

• taxă de reziliere = termination fee
• not taxă de rezilierea

Using rezilierea here would sound wrong in this structure.

Este is the 3rd person singular of a fi = to be.

So:

• este = is

The sentence structure is very straightforward:

• Taxa de reziliere = the termination fee
• este = is
• mare = big / high

A very common shorter spoken form is e:

• Taxa de reziliere e mare.

That means exactly the same thing, just more informal.

Because mare is the predicate adjective here. It describes the subject after the verb to be, just like in English:

• The fee is high
• Taxa ... este mare

This is different from an adjective directly attached to a noun:

• taxa mare = the big/high fee

So:

• taxa mare = the high fee
• taxa este mare = the fee is high

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

Here, taxa is feminine singular, and mare is the correct singular form.

One thing that can confuse learners is that mare has the same form for masculine singular and feminine singular. So you do not see a visible difference here.

Compare:

• taxa este mare = the fee is high
• taxele sunt mari = the fees are high

Notice the plural changes:

• singular: mare
• plural: mari

Literally, mare means big or large, but with things like prices, fees, taxes, and amounts, it often corresponds to natural English high.

So in this sentence, mare is best understood as:

• high
• large
• expensive in context, though not as directly as scump

For a fee, English usually says high, while Romanian very naturally uses mare.

Yes, but Taxa de reziliere este mare is the most neutral and standard order.

Romanian word order is somewhat flexible, but changes in order often add emphasis or sound more marked.

For example:

• Este mare taxa de reziliere sounds more emphatic or less neutral.
• Mare este taxa de reziliere sounds even more stylistically marked.

For normal everyday use, the original sentence is the best choice.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

• Taxa = TAK-sa
• de = deh
• reziliere = reh-zee-lee-EH-reh
• este = YES-teh
• mare = MAH-reh

A rough full pronunciation:

TAK-sa de reh-zee-lee-EH-reh YES-teh MAH-reh

A few helpful notes:

• Romanian r is usually tapped or lightly rolled.
• Romanian vowels are pronounced more clearly than in English.
• The stress in reziliere falls on -e- in -ie-: rezili-E-re.

They are similar, but not always identical.

• reziliere usually refers to termination/rescission of a contract
• anulare often means cancellation in a broader sense

So in legal or contractual contexts, reziliere can be more precise. For example, ending a service contract early may naturally involve reziliere.

That is why taxă de reziliere is a very plausible phrase for a contractual termination fee.

Yes. That is completely normal in everyday Romanian.

• este = full form, slightly more formal or careful
• e = shortened form, very common in speech

So both are correct:

• Taxa de reziliere este mare.
• Taxa de reziliere e mare.

The meaning does not change.
