Questions & Answers about Muzica mea este bună.

What does the -a at the end of muzica signify?

It’s the definite article attached to a feminine singular noun. In English you use a separate word “the,” but in Romanian you attach -a to the noun. So:

• muzică = “music” (indefinite)
• muzica = “the music” (definite)
  When you add a possessive pronoun like mea, you keep the article: muzica mea = “my music.”

Why is the possessive pronoun mea placed after the noun?

Romanian possessive pronouns follow the noun they modify and agree in gender & number.
English: “my music” → Romanian: muzica mea
Putting mea before the noun (mea muzica) would be ungrammatical.

What is the gender of muzică, and how can you tell?

Muzică is feminine. Clues:

• It ends in -ă, a common feminine ending in Romanian.
• Its modifiers (possessive pronouns, adjectives) take feminine forms: mea, bună.

Why does the adjective bună end in -ă here?
