Partea este avariată.

Because Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun, not before it.

• parte = part
• partea = the part

So partea is not a different word root; it is parte + the attached definite article.

Since parte is a feminine noun, its singular definite form is partea.

Este means is. It is the 3rd person singular form of the verb a fi = to be.

So the sentence is built like this:

• partea = the part
• este = is
• avariată = damaged

Literally: The part is damaged.

In normal Romanian, you generally keep este here, just as you would normally keep is in English.

Yes. E is a very common shorter form of este in everyday Romanian.

So these both mean the same thing:

• Partea este avariată.
• Partea e avariată.

The version with este can sound a bit more neutral or formal, while e is very common in speech.

Because avariată must agree with partea, which is feminine singular.

Romanian adjectives usually agree in gender and number with the noun they describe.

Here are the matching forms:

• masculine singular: avariat
• feminine singular: avariată
• masculine plural: avariați
• feminine plural: avariate

Since partea is feminine singular, the correct form is avariată.

In this sentence, it functions like an adjective meaning damaged.

Historically, it is the feminine singular form of the past participle of a avaria = to damage. But for a learner, the most useful way to understand it here is simply as a describing word:

• partea avariată = the damaged part
• partea este avariată = the part is damaged

So grammatically it comes from a participle, but in this sentence it behaves like an adjective.

The letter ă is a very common Romanian vowel. It is a short, neutral sound, similar to the a in English sofa for many speakers.

So avariată is approximately:

• a-va-ri-a-tuh

That last -tă is not a strong ta sound. It is softer and more central because of ă.

A rough pronunciation of the whole sentence is:

• PAR-te-a ES-te a-va-ri-A-tuh

This is only approximate, but it helps at the beginning.

A helpful beginner guide is:

• PÁR-te-a
• ÉS-te
• a-va-ri-Á-tă

So the strongest syllables are usually:

• PAR in partea
• ES in este
• AT in avariată

Romanian stress is not always fully predictable, so it is good to learn words together with their pronunciation.

The normal order is:

• Subject + verb + adjective
• Partea este avariată.

This is the most neutral way to say it.

Romanian word order can be changed for emphasis, but the basic learner-friendly pattern here is the same as in English:

• The part is damaged.

So this sentence is a very standard, natural structure.

Yes, but it changes the emphasis.

For example:

• Este avariată partea.

This is less neutral and may sound more marked, as if you are emphasizing the part or contrasting it with something else.

For most learning situations, use:

• Partea este avariată.

That is the safest and most natural default.

You add nu before the verb:

• Partea nu este avariată. = The part is not damaged.

With the short form:

• Partea nu e avariată.

This is the standard way to negate Romanian sentences with a fi.

If you want to say a part is damaged or part of it is damaged, you would remove the definite article:

• Parte by itself is not normally used in exactly the same way as English a part in this sentence.
• More naturally, Romanian would often use o parte = a part or a portion.

Examples:

• O parte este avariată. = A part is damaged.
• Partea este avariată. = The part is damaged.

So partea specifically means the part, not just part.

The plural is:

• Părțile sunt avariate. = The parts are damaged.

Notice all the changes:

• partea → părțile = the part → the parts
• este → sunt = is → are
• avariată → avariate = damaged, agreeing with feminine plural

This is a good example of how Romanian changes several words to match number.
