Questions & Answers about Programul nou începe la ora trei fix.
Why do we say ora trei instead of just trei?
In Romanian, when stating the time, you almost always put the word ora (the hour) right before the number. So to say 'three o'clock', you say ora trei.
What does fix mean in this sentence?
The word fix means 'exact' or 'fixed'. When you add it after a time, like ora trei fix, it means 'exactly three o'clock' or 'three o'clock sharp'.
Why do we use la before the time?
Just like in English where you say 'at three o'clock', Romanian uses the preposition la (at) when talking about an event happening at a specific time.
Why does the word nou come after Programul?
In Romanian, describing words (adjectives) usually come after the noun they describe. So instead of 'new schedule', you say Programul nou (the schedule new).
