Questions & Answers about Kilometrajul apare în cartea de service.

Why does kilometrajul end in -ul?

Because Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun, not in front of it.

• kilometraj = mileage / odometer reading
• kilometrajul = the mileage

So -ul here is the masculine/neuter singular definite article. Kilometraj is a neuter noun, and in the singular its definite form is kilometrajul.

Is kilometraj the same as kilometri?

No. They are related, but not the same word.

• kilometri = kilometers
• kilometraj = mileage, the total distance shown on a vehicle’s odometer

So kilometrajul does not mean the kilometers in a literal plural sense. It means something more like the mileage or the odometer reading.

What form is apare?

Apare is the 3rd person singular present tense of a apărea, which means to appear.

So:

• eu apar = I appear
• el/ea apare = he/she/it appears

Here the subject is kilometrajul, which is singular, so apare is the correct form.

Does apare literally mean appears here?
