From Lesson 54:The Four Seasons·Romanian

Questions & Answers about Acest anotimp este foarte frumos.

Why is it acest instead of acesta for the word "this"?
When "this" comes before the noun it describes, Romanian drops the final -a. So we say acest anotimp. If you wanted to put "this" after the noun, you would use acesta, but the noun would need "the" attached to it: anotimpul acesta.
What gender is the word anotimp?
It is a neuter noun. In Romanian, neuter nouns act like masculine nouns when there is only one (singular), and like feminine nouns when there is more than one (plural). Because anotimp is singular here, it uses the masculine forms for "this" (acest) and "beautiful" (frumos).
Does the adjective frumos change if the noun is feminine?
Yes! frumos is the masculine and neuter singular form. If you were describing a feminine noun like zi (day), you would have to use the feminine form frumoasă, making the sentence Această zi este foarte frumoasă.
Does the word foarte change depending on the gender of the noun?
No, foarte means "very" and it is an adverb. In Romanian, adverbs never change their form. It will always be foarte no matter what you are describing.
