Questions & Answers about Consumul de date apare pe factura electronică.

Why do consumul and factura already include the meaning of the?

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

• consum = consumption

• consumul = the consumption

• factură = invoice/bill
• factura = the invoice/bill

So in this sentence:

• Consumul de date = the data usage
• factura electronică = the electronic bill/invoice

This is one of the biggest differences from English.

What does de mean in consumul de date?

Here de means of.

So:

• consumul de date = the consumption of data
• more naturally in English: data usage

This structure is very common in Romanian:

• o cană de ceai = a cup of tea
• un pahar de apă = a glass of water
• consum de energie = energy consumption

So de + noun often works like English of + noun.

Why is it date and not something else?
