Questions & Answers about Regula este simplă.

Why is regulă written as regula here?

Because regula means the rule, not just rule.

In Romanian, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun instead of appearing as a separate word like English the.

• regulă = a rule / rule
• regula = the rule

So Regula este simplă literally follows the Romanian pattern rule-the is simple.

Why is there no separate word for the?

Romanian usually uses a postposed definite article, meaning the definite article is added to the end of the noun.

For feminine singular nouns like regulă, the definite form is often made by adding -a:

• o regulă = a rule
• regula = the rule

This is one of the big differences from English.

Why is it simplă and not simplu?
