In Romanian, 'the' (the definite article) attaches to the end of the noun rather than being a separate word. For masculine nouns like student, you add -ul to the end.
Why is the word order casă nouă instead of 'nouă casă'?
Unlike in English, Romanian adjectives typically come after the noun they describe. Nouă is also the feminine form of 'new', which matches the feminine noun o casă.
