Clubul este deschis seara.

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

• club = a club / club
• clubul = the club

So Clubul este deschis seara starts with the club, not just club.

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

So:

• clubul = the club
• este = is
• deschis = open

Together, este deschis means is open.

Romanian often keeps este in this kind of sentence, especially in standard written language.

Deschis is the form that agrees with clubul, which is singular masculine/neuter.

Romanian adjectives change form depending on the noun:

• masculine/neuter singular: deschis
• feminine singular: deschisă
• masculine plural: deschiși
• feminine/neuter plural: deschise

Since clubul is singular, the correct form is deschis.

In this sentence, it functions like an adjective, meaning open.

Historically, it is also the past participle of a deschide = to open, but in everyday usage sentences like este deschis are best understood as is open.

So for a learner, the most useful way to think of it here is simply:

• deschis = open

Here seara means in the evening or at night, depending on context.

It refers to the time when the club is open. So the sentence means that the club is open during the evening hours.

A useful contrast:

• dimineața = in the morning
• după-amiaza = in the afternoon
• seara = in the evening
• noaptea = at night

Romanian often uses certain time expressions without a preposition.

So instead of saying something exactly like in the evening, Romanian can simply say:

• seara = in the evening

This is very normal and common. English needs in, but Romanian often does not in expressions of time like this.

Yes. E is the short, very common spoken form of este.

So these both mean the same thing:

• Clubul este deschis seara.
• Clubul e deschis seara.

The version with este sounds a bit more neutral or formal in writing, while e is extremely common in speech.

Yes, Romanian word order is somewhat flexible.

The neutral order here is:

• Clubul este deschis seara.

But you could also say:

• Seara, clubul este deschis.

That version puts more emphasis on seara.

So the original sentence is the most straightforward, but other orders are possible for emphasis or style.

Not by itself. Seara usually means in the evening or in the evenings, depending on context.

If you want to say this evening, Romanian would usually say something more specific, such as:

• în seara aceasta = this evening

So Clubul este deschis seara is a general time statement, not specifically about one particular evening unless the context makes that clear.

A simple learner-friendly pronunciation guide would be:

KLOO-bool YES-teh des-KEES SYAH-rah

A few notes:

• clu in clubul sounds like cloo
• e in este is like e in set
• ch in deschis sounds like k, so deschis is roughly des-KEES
• ea in seara sounds like ya, so seara is roughly SYAH-rah

This is only an approximation, but it is a helpful start.
