Questions & Answers about Motivul este simplu: vrem un rezultat mai bun până mâine.
Why does motivul end in -ul?
In Romanian, -ul is the definite article for many masculine and neuter singular nouns, and it is attached to the end of the noun.
So:
- motiv = a reason / reason
- motivul = the reason
This is different from English, where the is a separate word.
Why is it este simplu and not something like este simplul?
Because simplu is an adjective, not a noun. Here it means simple and describes motivul.
After a form of a fi (to be), Romanian normally uses the adjective without a definite article:
- Motivul este simplu. = The reason is simple.
You would not say simplul here, because that would mean something like the simple one in a different structure.
Why is este used instead of e?
