Questions & Answers about Acest om bea cafeaua repede.
Why is it acest and not această?
Why is the noun just om and not omul (the man)?
When a demonstrative word like acest (this) comes directly before the noun, the noun does not take a definite article ("the"). So we say acest om, never acest omul.
Why is "the coffee" written as cafeaua?
The base word for coffee is cafea. Usually, feminine words get an -a at the end to mean "the" (like fata for "the girl"). But because cafea ends in a stressed -a, it gets a special ending, -ua, making it cafeaua.
