Ecusonul este pe stația de lucru.

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

• ecuson = badge
• ecusonul = the badge

So -ul here is the masculine/neuter singular definite article.

This is one of the first big differences English speakers notice:

• English: the badge
• Romanian: ecusonul

Ecuson usually means a badge, especially something like:

• a name badge
• an ID badge
• a visitor badge
• sometimes an emblem or insignia, depending on context

In a workplace sentence like this one, an English speaker would often understand it as badge or ID badge.

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

So:

• ecusonul este... = the badge is...

In Romanian, you normally do not omit este in this kind of sentence. English and Romanian are similar here: both need the verb to be.

In everyday speech, Romanians very often use the shorter form e instead of este:

• Ecusonul e pe stația de lucru.

That means the same thing and sounds very natural.

Here, pe means on.

So:

• pe stația de lucru = on the workstation

Be careful: pe is a very common Romanian preposition and can have other uses too. For example, it is also used before a direct object when that object is a person or is specific in certain contexts. But in this sentence, it is simply the location preposition on.

Romanian often expresses this kind of idea with a noun phrase:

• stație = station
• de lucru = for work / of work

So stație de lucru literally looks like station of work, but naturally it means workstation.

This pattern is very common in Romanian:

• sală de clasă = classroom
• mașină de spălat = washing machine
• masă de lucru = work table / workbench

So stația de lucru is a normal Romanian way to say the workstation.

Because stație is the main noun, and de lucru just describes it.

• stație = the head noun
• de lucru = a modifying phrase

So Romanian marks definiteness on the main noun:

• stație de lucru = a workstation
• stația de lucru = the workstation

You do not say stație de lucrul here.

This is very normal Romanian structure: the main noun gets the article.

Romanian definite articles change depending on the noun’s gender and form.

Very roughly:

• many masculine/neuter singular nouns take -ul
• many feminine singular nouns take -a

So:

• ecuson → ecusonul
• stație → stația

That tells you:

• ecuson is treated as masculine/neuter
• stație is feminine

This is part of Romanian noun gender and article agreement.

A rough pronunciation is:

STAH-tsya

A few helpful sound notes:

• ț sounds like ts in cats
• ia here glides together, roughly like ya
• ă is a short central vowel, somewhat like the a in sofa, but shorter and less clear

So stația is not pronounced like English station. It is closer to:

STAH-tsya

The basic order here is the most neutral one:

• Ecusonul este pe stația de lucru.

This is the normal subject + verb + place order.

Romanian word order is somewhat flexible, though. You might also hear:

• Pe stația de lucru este ecusonul.

That changes the emphasis, making the location more prominent, something like:

• On the workstation is the badge.

But for a learner, the original order is the safest and most natural default.

Yes. That is very natural.

• este = full form
• e = shorter everyday form

Both mean is.

So these are equivalent:

• Ecusonul este pe stația de lucru.
• Ecusonul e pe stația de lucru.

The second one is more common in casual speech.

Often, yes, especially in office or IT contexts. Stație de lucru commonly means workstation, especially a computer/work desk setup.

But depending on context, it can also refer more generally to a work station or work area.

So the exact English translation may vary a little:

• workstation
• work station
• sometimes desk/work area, if the situation suggests that

Context decides which English wording sounds best.
