Questions & Answers about Fata dansează foarte bine.
Why does the verb end in -ează instead of just -ă or -ez?
The verb a dansa (to dance) is an "-a" verb that uses the -ez suffix in the present tense. For the "he", "she", and "they" forms, this suffix changes its shape to -ează. That is why "she dances" becomes dansează.
Where is the word for 'the' in this sentence?
In Romanian, "the" attaches directly to the end of the noun. The basic word for girl is fată. To say the girl, that final ă changes to a regular a, giving us fata.
Can I use bun instead of bine here?
No, because bun means good and is used to describe a noun (like a good book). Bine means well and describes an action. Since we are describing how she dances, we must use bine.
Does dansează also mean is dancing?
Yes! Romanian does not have a separate verb tense for actions happening right now. Fata dansează can mean either The girl dances or The girl is dancing, depending on what makes sense in English.
