Questions & Answers about Instalatorul etanșează racordul flexibil.
Why do instalatorul and racordul end in -ul?
Because -ul is the definite article attached to the end of a masculine/neuter singular noun in Romanian.
- instalator = a plumber
- instalatorul = the plumber
- racord = a connector / fitting
- racordul = the connector / the fitting
Unlike English, Romanian usually puts the at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word.
Why is it racordul flexibil and not racordul flexibilul?
In Romanian, when a noun is definite and an adjective comes after it, the adjective usually does not take the definite article.
So:
- racord flexibil = a flexible connector
- racordul flexibil = the flexible connector
This is normal Romanian structure: definite noun + adjective.
Compare:
- băiat bun = a good boy
- băiatul bun = the good boy
