Questions & Answers about Coliziunea avariază aripa și farul.

Why do coliziune, aripă, and far become coliziunea, aripa, and farul?

Because Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun, instead of using a separate word like the in English.

So:

• coliziune = collision

• coliziunea = the collision

• aripă = wing / fender

• aripa = the wing / the fender

• far = headlight
• farul = the headlight

This is one of the biggest differences from English. Romanian has an enclitic definite article, meaning it is attached to the noun.

What form is avariază?

Avariază is the 3rd person singular present tense form of the verb a avaria = to damage.

So:

• eu avariez = I damage
• tu avariezi = you damage
• el/ea avariază = he/she/it damages

In this sentence, the subject is coliziunea (the collision), which is singular, so Romanian uses avariază = damages.

Why is the verb singular?
