Questions & Answers about Claritatea este importantă.

Why is it claritatea and not claritate?

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

• claritate = clarity
• claritatea = the clarity

So -a here is the feminine singular definite article attached to the noun.

Why does Romanian use the clarity here if English just says clarity?

Romanian often uses the definite form with abstract nouns when speaking in a general way.

So even though claritatea literally looks like the clarity, the sentence is naturally understood as a general statement, like English clarity is important.

This is normal Romanian usage, not something unusual about this sentence.

What gender is claritate?

Claritate is a feminine noun.

You can see that in the sentence because:

• the definite form is claritatea
• the adjective is importantă, which is the feminine singular form

So the noun and adjective match in gender and number.
