Administratorul așteaptă unsprezece răspunsuri.

The ending -ul is the definite article in Romanian, attached to the end of the noun.

So:

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

Unlike English, Romanian usually puts the at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word.

Because Romanian normally uses a postposed definite article—that means the article is added to the end of the noun.

So English:

• the administrator

Romanian:

• administratorul

This is completely normal in Romanian and is one of the first big differences English speakers notice.

Așteaptă means waits, is waiting for, or sometimes expects, depending on context.

In this sentence, it most naturally means:

• The administrator is waiting for eleven answers

A useful thing to know is that Romanian a aștepta can take a direct object without adding a separate word like English for.

So:

• așteaptă răspunsuri = is waiting for answers

Because Romanian uses a aștepta differently from English to wait for.

In English, you say:

• wait for something

In Romanian, you usually just say:

• a aștepta ceva = literally to wait something, but naturally translated as to wait for something

So:

• Administratorul așteaptă unsprezece răspunsuri
• literally: The administrator waits eleven answers
• natural English: The administrator is waiting for eleven answers

Because unsprezece means eleven, and after numbers like this, Romanian normally uses the plural form of the noun.

So:

• un răspuns = one answer
• două răspunsuri = two answers
• unsprezece răspunsuri = eleven answers

This is similar to English, where one uses singular but larger numbers usually use plural.

Because here the noun is indefinite plural: answers, not the answers.

Compare:

• răspunsuri = answers
• răspunsurile = the answers

In the sentence, unsprezece răspunsuri means eleven answers, not the eleven answers, so the indefinite plural form is the correct one.

The ending -uri is a common Romanian plural ending for neuter nouns.

Here is the pattern:

• un răspuns = an answer
• două răspunsuri = two answers

So răspunsuri is the plural form of răspuns.

Romanian răspuns is a neuter noun, which usually behaves like:

• masculine in the singular
• feminine in the plural

You do not need to master that immediately, but it helps explain why plural forms can look different from what you might expect.

Yes. Așteaptă is present tense, third person singular, from a aștepta.

It can translate as:

• waits
• is waiting
• sometimes does wait, depending on context

Romanian present tense often covers both the simple present and the present continuous idea that English sometimes separates.

So this sentence could be understood as:

• The administrator waits for eleven answers
• The administrator is waiting for eleven answers

Usually the second sounds more natural in English.

This is the normal subject–verb–object order:

• Administratorul = subject
• așteaptă = verb
• unsprezece răspunsuri = object

So it matches standard English order quite closely:

• The administrator
  • is waiting for
    • eleven answers

Romanian word order can be flexible, but this sentence uses the most straightforward order.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

• ad-mi-nis-tra-TO-rul

A more careful approximation:

• administratorul ≈ ahd-mee-nees-trah-TO-rul

A few useful notes:

• Romanian a is usually like a in father
• i is usually like ee in see
• u is like oo in food
• the stress here falls on to: administraTOrul

If you know IPA, it is approximately:

• /administratorul/ with stress on to

A rough pronunciation is:

• uh-SHTEAP-tuh

Helpful details:

• ș sounds like English sh
• ă is a short central vowel, something like the a in sofa
• ea here sounds like ya/ea in one syllable combination

So așteaptă is not pronounced like it would be in Spanish or Italian spelling. The special Romanian letters matter a lot.

Yes. Unsprezece means eleven, and historically it is built from parts meaning something like one over ten.

You do not need to analyze it every time, but it can help to notice:

• unu / un = one
• spre = historically related to toward / over
• zece = ten

So unsprezece is the standard word for eleven.

Possibly, depending on context.

• administratorul can mean the administrator
• in some contexts, it could be translated more loosely as the manager or the admin
• răspunsuri can mean answers, responses, or replies

So if the context were emails, forms, or messages, English might naturally say:

• The administrator is waiting for eleven responses
• The administrator is waiting for eleven replies

But the core Romanian grammar stays the same.

No. Romanian usually does not need a subject pronoun when the subject is already stated or clear.

Here the noun Administratorul already tells you who is doing the action, so adding el would be unnecessary in a normal sentence.

Romanian often drops subject pronouns unless they are needed for emphasis or contrast.
