Questions & Answers about Profesoara vorbește încet, ca să înțelegem fiecare sunet.

Why is it profesoara and not profesor or profesoară?

Profesoara means the female teacher.

A few useful points:

• profesor = teacher / male teacher
• profesoară = a female teacher
• profesoara = the female teacher

Romanian often adds the definite article to the end of the noun:

• o profesoară = a teacher
• profesoara = the teacher

So in this sentence, profesoara is a definite noun: it refers to the teacher, not just any teacher.

Why does Romanian put the at the end of the noun in profesoara?

Romanian usually uses a postposed definite article, which means the equivalent of the is attached to the end of the noun.

Examples:

• băiat = boy
• băiatul = the boy
• profesoară = female teacher
• profesoara = the female teacher

This is very normal in Romanian and is one of the first things English speakers notice, since English puts the before the noun instead.
