Questions & Answers about Fundalul este neclar.
Why is fundalul translated as the background and not just background?
Because fundalul contains the noun fundal plus the definite article -ul.
- fundal = background
- fundalul = the background
Romanian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun, unlike English, which uses a separate word before it.
Why is the word for the attached to the end of fundal?
This is a normal feature of Romanian grammar. Romanian has a postposed definite article, which means the article is added to the end of the noun.
So:
- fundal = background
- fundalul = the background
Other examples:
- băiat = boy
- băiatul = the boy
- carte = book
- cartea = the book
So fundalul is not unusual; it follows a very common Romanian pattern.
