Questions & Answers about Consultația veterinară începe la cabinetul veterinar cu medicul veterinar.
Why do Romanian words like consultația, cabinetul, and medicul have the article attached to the end instead of using a separate word like the?
Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun.
So in this sentence:
- consultație = consultation
consultația = the consultation
- cabinet = office / clinic / practice
cabinetul = the office / clinic
- medic = doctor
- medicul = the doctor
This is one of the big differences from English. Instead of a separate word like the, Romanian often uses an ending:
- masculine singular often takes -ul
- feminine singular often takes -a or a spelling-adjusted form
So cabinetul veterinar means the veterinary clinic/office, and medicul veterinar means the veterinarian / the veterinary doctor.
Why is it veterinară in consultația veterinară, but veterinar in cabinetul veterinar and medicul veterinar?
