Chiriașul sesizează problema în scris.

In Romanian, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word like the in English.

So:

• chiriaș = tenant
• chiriașul = the tenant

This is very common in Romanian:

• băiat = boy
• băiatul = the boy
• copil = child
• copilul = the child

So chiriașul literally means the tenant.

For the same reason: Romanian adds the definite article to the end of the noun.

• problemă = a problem
• problema = the problem

So in this sentence, problema means the problem, referring to a specific issue.

Notice that feminine nouns often use -a as the definite ending:

• casă = house
• casa = the house

Sesizează is the 3rd person singular present tense form of the verb a sesiza.

That means it goes with subjects like:

• el = he
• ea = she
• chiriașul = the tenant

So:

• a sesiza = to report / to notify / to bring to someone’s attention
• chiriașul sesizează = the tenant reports / notifies

This present tense form can also sound natural in formal statements, instructions, or general procedures.

Not usually in this kind of sentence.

Although the verb can sometimes relate to becoming aware of something, in formal or administrative Romanian a sesiza often means:

• to report
• to notify
• to bring to someone’s attention
• to file a complaint / make a report, depending on context

So here it is not just the tenant notices the problem. It means more like the tenant formally reports or notifies someone about the problem.

This is a fairly formal verb.

Because problema is the direct object of the verb sesizează.

In English, some verbs need a preposition, but Romanian often does not. Here the structure is simply:

• subject: chiriașul
• verb: sesizează
• direct object: problema

So Romanian says literally:

• The tenant reports the problem

No extra preposition is needed before problema.

În scris is a fixed expression meaning in writing or written down.

• în = in
• scris = written / writing

So sesizează problema în scris means the problem is reported in written form, not just orally.

This expression is very common in formal Romanian:

• cerere în scris = written request
• răspuns în scris = written response

Yes, it sounds fairly formal, administrative, or legal.

Two things make it sound formal:

• a sesiza is more official than many everyday verbs
• în scris is common in bureaucratic or procedural language

In everyday conversation, Romanians might choose a different verb depending on context, such as:

• a spune = to say
• a anunța = to announce / inform
• a raporta = to report
• a reclama = to complain about / report

But a sesiza is very natural in official contexts.

Yes, Romanian word order is more flexible than English, although the given order is the most neutral here.

The basic order is:

• Chiriașul sesizează problema în scris.

You may also see variations for emphasis, such as:

• Problema o sesizează în scris chiriașul.
• În scris, chiriașul sesizează problema.

But these are more marked and depend on context. For a learner, the original version is the safest and most natural one to use.

A rough pronunciation guide:

• chiriașul ≈ kee-ree-A-shul
• sesizează ≈ seh-see-ZEH-zuh

A few helpful points:

• ș sounds like sh in shoe
• ă is a short central vowel, somewhat like the a in sofa
• z is pronounced like English z

Also, Romanian stress often falls near the end or middle of the word, so it helps to listen to native audio when possible.

Because the sentence refers to a specific tenant and a specific problem.

• chiriașul = the tenant
• problema = the problem

This is very normal in Romanian when the speaker and listener already know which tenant and which problem are being discussed.

If the meaning were more indefinite, Romanian would use forms like:

• un chiriaș = a tenant
• o problemă = a problem

For example:

• Un chiriaș sesizează o problemă în scris.
  = A tenant reports a problem in writing.

Yes. Romanian present tense can cover several ideas, just like English present forms can in certain contexts.

Chiriașul sesizează problema în scris could mean:

• the tenant is reporting the problem now
• the tenant reports the problem as a general action
• the tenant reports the problem in writing as part of a procedure

In formal instructions or policy language, the present tense often describes what is normally done:

• The tenant reports the problem in writing.

So context determines whether it is a one-time action or a general rule.
