Questions & Answers about Regina ajunge azi.

Why does regina mean the queen and not just queen?

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

• regină = queen
• regina = the queen

So in this sentence, regina is a definite noun: the queen.

A useful pattern to notice is that many feminine nouns ending in -ă form the definite singular in -a:

• fată = girl
• fata = the girl

The same thing happens here:

• regină → regina

What form is ajunge?

• tu ajungi = you arrive
• el/ea ajunge = he/she arrives

So Regina ajunge azi. literally has the structure:

• Regina = the queen
• ajunge = arrives
• azi = today

Does ajunge only mean arrive?
