Questions & Answers about Infiltrația inundă camera.

Why does infiltrația end in -a? Does it mean the infiltration?

Yes. In Romanian, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun, not written as a separate word like English the.

• infiltrație = infiltration, seepage
• infiltrația = the infiltration / the seepage

So infiltrația is the definite singular form.

Why does camera also end in -a? Is that also the room?

Exactly. camera here means the room.

The base noun is:

• cameră = room

Its definite singular form is:

• camera = the room

So both nouns in the sentence are definite:

• infiltrația = the infiltration / the leak / the seepage
• camera = the room

This is very normal in Romanian.

Is camera related to the English word camera?

Not in meaning here. This is a common false friend for English speakers.

In Romanian:

• cameră = room
• camera = the room

The word for the device camera is usually:

• aparat foto = camera
• sometimes cameră video = video camera

So in this sentence, camera definitely means the room, not a photographic camera.
