Questions & Answers about Sora mea merge la piață cu bicicleta când vremea este bună.
Why is it sora mea and not mea soră?
In Romanian, possessive adjectives like mea usually come after the noun, not before it.
So:
- sora mea = my sister
- fratele meu = my brother
- casa mea = my house
Putting mea before the noun would sound wrong in normal Romanian.
What does the -a in sora mean?
The base form is soră = sister.
When it becomes sora, that -a is the definite article attached to the end of the noun, so:
- soră = a sister / sister
- sora = the sister
Romanian usually says the sister my to mean my sister, so sora mea is the normal structure.
Can merge be used even if she is going by bicycle?
