Administratorul inspectează țeava și robinetul.

Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun, not before it as English does.

So:

• administrator = administrator

• administratorul = the administrator

• țeavă = pipe

• țeava = the pipe

• robinet = tap / faucet / valve
• robinetul = the tap / faucet / valve

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

Common definite article endings here are:

• masculine / neuter singular: -ul
• feminine singular: often -a

So in this sentence, all three nouns are definite.

Because when a feminine noun ends in -ă, the definite form usually replaces that final -ă with -a.

So:

• o țeavă = a pipe
• țeava = the pipe

You do not add a separate extra a after -ă. The ending changes as part of the definite form.

This pattern is very common with feminine nouns:

• casă → casa
• masă → masa
• ușă → ușa

Inspectează is the 3rd person singular present tense of the verb a inspecta, meaning to inspect.

So:

• eu inspectez = I inspect
• tu inspectezi = you inspect
• el/ea inspectează = he/she inspects

In the sentence, administratorul is singular, so inspectează matches it.

Romanian often leaves out subject pronouns when they are not needed. This is called a pro-drop language.

Because the verb form already shows the person and number, Romanian can simply say:

• Administratorul inspectează...

instead of something like:

• El inspectează...

The subject is already clearly stated by administratorul, so adding el would usually be unnecessary unless you wanted emphasis.

Și means and.

In this sentence it connects the two direct objects:

• țeava
• robinetul

So the structure is:

• Administratorul = subject
• inspectează = verb
• țeava și robinetul = two things being inspected

Also note the spelling: ș is a special Romanian letter pronounced like sh in ship.

In this sentence, țeava and robinetul are direct objects, so grammatically they are in the accusative.

However, in Romanian, for most nouns, the nominative and accusative forms are the same. So you do not see a visible change here.

That means:

• țeava could be nominative or accusative depending on the sentence
• robinetul could also be nominative or accusative

You understand their role from word order and sentence structure.

Romanian often uses pe to mark certain direct objects, especially people or highly specific animate objects.

Examples:

• Văd administratorul can occur, but with a person Romanian very often uses pe: Îl văd pe administrator.

In your sentence, țeava and robinetul are inanimate objects, so pe is not used.

That is completely normal.

Robinet is a neuter noun.

In Romanian, neuter nouns behave:

• like masculine in the singular
• like feminine in the plural

So in the singular you get:

• un robinet
• robinetul

which looks like a masculine pattern.

This is why a learner may think it is masculine at first, but grammatically it is classified as neuter.

The main special Romanian letters here are:

• ț in țeava = ts, like the end of cats
• ă in țeavă = a short central vowel, somewhat like the a in sofa
• ș in și = sh, like in ship

A rough pronunciation guide:

• Administratorul ≈ ad-mee-nees-tra-TO-rul
• inspectează ≈ in-spek-TEA-zə
• țeava ≈ TSEA-va
• și ≈ sh
• robinetul ≈ ro-bee-NE-tul

The exact sounds are best learned by listening, but those special letters are very important in Romanian because they change pronunciation and meaning.

Yes, Romanian word order is somewhat flexible, but the most neutral order here is:

• Administratorul inspectează țeava și robinetul.

That is a normal Subject–Verb–Object order.

You could also find variations in other contexts, especially for emphasis, but they may sound less neutral. For example, changing the order of the two objects is possible:

• Administratorul inspectează robinetul și țeava.

That would still be grammatical; it just mentions the faucet/tap first.

For a beginner, the safest pattern is the standard one used in your sentence.

The basic dictionary forms are:

• administrator
• țeavă
• robinet

Their indefinite singular forms with articles would be:

• un administrator = an administrator
• o țeavă = a pipe
• un robinet = a tap / faucet / valve

The sentence uses the definite versions instead:

• administratorul
• țeava
• robinetul

So this is a useful sentence for seeing how Romanian turns basic nouns into the ... forms.
