Vânzătoarea spune că prețul pentru un kilogram de roșii este bun.

Because Romanian often puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like the.

• vânzătoare = saleswoman / female seller
• vânzătoarea = the saleswoman

So vânzătoarea means the saleswoman.

For the same reason: Romanian usually attaches the definite article to the noun.

• preț = price
• prețul = the price

This is very normal in Romanian:

• băiat → băiatul = the boy
• fată → fata = the girl
• preț → prețul = the price

Că usually means that.

So:

• spune că... = says that...

In English, that is often optional:

• The saleswoman says the price is good
• The saleswoman says that the price is good

In Romanian, că is commonly used in this kind of sentence.

Spune is the present tense, third person singular, from a spune = to say / to tell.

So:

• eu spun = I say
• el/ea spune = he/she says

In this sentence, the subject is vânzătoarea (the saleswoman), which is third person singular, so spune is the correct form.

Zice is also possible in Romanian and can also mean says, but spune is often a bit more neutral or standard in many learning contexts.

Un here means a / one.

• un kilogram = a kilogram / one kilogram

Romanian uses un for a masculine or neuter singular noun in the indefinite form.

Because kilogram is masculine/neuter singular, un kilogram is correct.

After measurements, quantities, and containers, Romanian often uses de.

So:

• un kilogram de roșii = a kilogram of tomatoes
• un litru de lapte = a liter of milk
• o cană de ceai = a cup of tea

This is very similar to English of in phrases like a kilo of tomatoes.

Here roșii means tomatoes.

The singular is:

• roșie = tomato

The plural is:

• roșii = tomatoes

This can be confusing because roșii can also look like a form related to the adjective roșu / red, but in this sentence it is clearly the noun tomatoes.

Because bun is an adjective agreeing with prețul (the price), not with roșii (tomatoes).

The thing being described as good is the price, not the tomatoes.

• prețul este bun = the price is good

Why not bune?

• bune is plural/feminine agreement, but prețul is singular.

Why not bine?

• bine usually means well, and it is an adverb, not the adjective needed here.

So bun is the correct form.

This is a natural Romanian way to say the price for a kilogram of tomatoes.

Breakdown:

• prețul = the price
• pentru = for
• un kilogram de roșii = a kilogram of tomatoes

So literally:

• the price for a kilogram of tomatoes

Romanian word order is often similar to English here, so this part is fairly straightforward.

In everyday speech, you may hear other constructions depending on region, context, or style, but prețul pentru un kilogram de roșii is a clear and standard learner-friendly version.

Pentru directly expresses for, so it works very neatly here.

A learner should be comfortable understanding and using pentru in this sentence.

Este means is, from the verb a fi = to be.

• prețul ... este bun = the price ... is good

Unlike in some languages, you normally cannot omit este here in standard Romanian. You need the verb.

In informal speech, este is often shortened to e:

• Prețul ... e bun.

That is very common and natural.

The main special letters here are:

• â in Vânzătoarea
  This is a central vowel sound specific to Romanian.

• ă in Vânzătoarea, că
  A short central vowel, somewhat like a weak uh sound.

• ț in vânzătoarea, prețul
  Pronounced like ts in cats.

• ș in roșii
  Pronounced like sh in shoe.

A rough pronunciation guide:

• Vânzătoarea ≈ vun-zuh-TOA-rea
• că ≈ kuh
• prețul ≈ PRE-tsul
• roșii ≈ RO-shii

These are only approximations, but they help at the beginning.

Because Romanian is one of the Romance languages that usually uses a postposed definite article, meaning the article is added to the end of the noun.

So instead of:

• the price

Romanian says:

• prețul

and instead of:

• the saleswoman

Romanian says:

• vânzătoarea

This is one of the most important structural differences between English and Romanian.

Yes. That would be a very natural English rendering.

A few natural English options are:

• The saleswoman says that the price for a kilogram of tomatoes is good.
• The seller says the price for a kilo of tomatoes is good.
• The saleswoman says the price for one kilo of tomatoes is good.

They all match the Romanian sentence well. The Romanian itself is slightly formal/neutral, and kilogram fits that tone, though kilo would also sound natural in everyday English.
