Administratorul verifică cinci contoare.

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

• administrator = administrator / an administrator
• administratorul = the administrator

Here, -ul is the masculine singular definite article in the nominative/accusative form.

So:

• Administratorul verifică... = The administrator checks...

A related form you may see is administratorului, which is used for to the administrator / of the administrator.

Because the subject is administratorul, which is third person singular: he/she/the administrator.

The verb is a verifica = to check / to inspect / to verify.

Present tense:

• eu verific = I check
• tu verifici = you check
• el/ea verifică = he/she checks
• noi verificăm = we check
• voi verificați = you all check
• ei/ele verifică = they check

So administratorul verifică means the administrator checks.

Not by itself. In Romanian, the 3rd person singular and 3rd person plural often have the same form in the present tense.

So:

• administratorul verifică = the administrator checks
• administratorii verifică = the administrators check

The subject tells you whether it is singular or plural.

Contor is a neuter noun.

Romanian neuter nouns behave:

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

So:

• un contor = one meter/counter
• două contoare = two meters/counters
• cinci contoare = five meters/counters

That is why the plural is contoare, not a masculine-looking plural.

If definite:

• contorul = the meter/counter
• contoarele = the meters/counters

After cinci = five, Romanian uses the plural noun.

So:

• cinci contoare = five meters/counters

This is similar to English in meaning, since English also uses a plural noun after five.

Because after a numeral, Romanian normally uses the indefinite form of the noun.

So:

• cinci contoare = five meters/counters

If you want to say the five meters/counters, Romanian usually does not say cinci contoarele. Instead, it uses forms such as:

• cele cinci contoare = the five meters/counters

So in your sentence, cinci contoare is the normal form.

No. Cinci is basically invariable.

It stays cinci with masculine, feminine, or neuter nouns:

• cinci băieți = five boys
• cinci fete = five girls
• cinci contoare = five meters/counters

This makes it easier than some other Romanian number words.

Ă represents a vowel sound similar to the a in English about or sofa: a short schwa sound.

So verifică ends with that sound, not with a full a like in Spanish or Italian.

This final -ă is also a useful clue that the verb is in the 3rd person singular/plural present form here.

Grammatically, administratorul is masculine singular.

So in ordinary usage, it means the male administrator.
The feminine form is usually:

• administratoare = female administrator
• administratoarea = the female administrator

In some contexts, masculine job titles may be used more generally, but grammatically this sentence is clearly using the masculine form.

No. Administratorul verifică cinci contoare uses the normal, neutral Romanian word order:

• Subject + Verb + Object

So:

• Administratorul = subject
• verifică = verb
• cinci contoare = object

Romanian word order can be changed for emphasis, but this sentence is the plain, standard way to say it.

Not always. Romanian a verifica can mean several close ideas depending on context:

• to check
• to inspect
• to verify

In this sentence, the most natural English translation is often checks or inspects, especially if the administrator is looking at meters/counters.

So even though verify is related, check is usually the most everyday meaning here.
