The Head and Eyes
Let's learn the basic vocabulary for the upper body, starting with capul (the head) and ochiul (the eye). Both of these nouns use the definite article -ul (the) attached to the end of the word.
When describing your own body, possessive words like meu (my) or tău (your) always come after the noun.
Notice a quirk of Romanian: when describing someone's physical features, instead of saying they have "a" big head, Romanian usually uses the definite article to say they have "the" big head (are capul mare). If you do want to say "a" or "an", the masculine and neuter word is un.
The Nose and Mouth
Moving down the face, we have nasul (the nose) and gura (the mouth).
While nasul is neuter, gura is a feminine noun ending in the definite article -a. Because it is feminine, any adjectives or possessive words describing it must also take a feminine form. For example, meu becomes mea, and mic (small) becomes mică.
Ears and Neck
Next we have urechea (the ear) and gâtul (the neck).
Just like we use un (a/an) for masculine and neuter nouns, we use o (a/an) for feminine nouns like ureche.
The Torso
The word for the body is corpul. For the torso, we have pieptul (the chest) and spatele (the back).
All of these behave as neuter nouns, though you will notice that spatele uses the definite article ending -le instead of -ul. Here we can also see the possessive lui (his), which is used for all genders.
Hands and Arms
Finally, let's look at mâna (the hand) and brațul (the arm).
Pay attention to how adjectives change their endings to match the gender of the body part: we use curată (clean) for a feminine noun like mâna, but murdar (dirty) for a neuter noun like braț.
