Questions & Answers about Ecusonul identifică colegul la stația de lucru.
Why do several words end in -ul or -a?
Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun, not before it as English does.
So in this sentence:
- ecusonul = the badge
- colegul = the colleague
- stația = the station
A few useful comparisons:
- ecuson → ecusonul
- coleg → colegul
- stație → stația
In general, singular masculine and neuter nouns often take -ul, while singular feminine nouns often take -a.
What form is identifică, and why is there no separate subject pronoun?
Identifică is the 3rd person singular present form of a identifica.
So it means identifies or is identifying, depending on context.
Romanian often leaves out subject pronouns such as el or ea because the verb ending already shows the person and number. That means identifică by itself already tells you the subject is he/she/it or a singular noun such as ecusonul.
Should there be pe before colegul?
