Questions & Answers about Cât costă biletul pentru filmul nou?

Why do bilet and film both end in -ul here?
In Romanian, the word for 'the' attaches to the end of the noun. Both bilet (ticket) and film (movie) are neuter nouns, so they take the suffix -ul in the singular to mean 'the ticket' (biletul) and 'the movie' (filmul).
Why use cât instead of câți or câte?
Cât means 'how much' and is used when asking about a price or an uncounted overall amount. You would use câți or câte to mean 'how many' when asking about countable plural items, like 'how many tickets'.
Why is the word order filmul nou instead of nou filmul?
In Romanian, descriptive adjectives almost always come after the noun they describe. So, instead of saying 'the new movie', you say 'the movie new' (filmul nou).
Is costă the dictionary form of the verb?
No, it is the conjugated form. The dictionary form (infinitive) is a costa (to cost). Costă is the present tense form used for both 'it costs' (like the single ticket here) and 'they cost'.
