Questions & Answers about Soldatul lucrează aici.

Why is it soldatul and not just soldat?

Because -ul is the definite article attached to the end of the noun.

• soldat = soldier
• soldatul = the soldier

Romanian usually puts the at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word before it.

Why isn’t there a separate word for the, like in English?

Romanian normally uses an attached definite article.

So instead of a separate word like English the soldier, Romanian says soldatul.

This is very common in Romanian:

• băiat → băiatul = the boy
• om → omul = the man / the person
• soldat → soldatul = the soldier

By contrast, the indefinite article is separate:

• un soldat = a soldier
