Questions & Answers about Aveți mașini ieftine?
Why does ieftine (cheap) come after mașini (cars)?
In Romanian, most adjectives are placed immediately after the noun they describe. So, instead of saying "cheap cars" like we do in English, you say the equivalent of "cars cheap" (mașini ieftine).
Why does the word for cheap end in "-e" here (ieftine)?
Adjectives must match the noun they describe in both gender and number. The singular noun mașină (car) is feminine, and its plural is mașini (cars). To match a feminine plural noun, the base adjective ieftin changes its ending to become ieftine.
