Questions & Answers about Supa este pe aragaz, iar desertul este încă în cuptor.
Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like the in English.
- supă = soup
supa = the soup
- desert = dessert
- desertul = the dessert
This is one of the first big differences English speakers notice in Romanian.
Because the definite article changes depending on the noun’s gender and form.
In this sentence:
- supă is a feminine noun, so the definite form is supa
- desert is a neuter noun, and in the singular neuter nouns behave like masculine, so the definite form is desertul
So the endings are not random; they follow noun patterns.
