Questions & Answers about El vede soarele dimineața.

Why is the word for "the" attached to the end of soarele?
In Romanian, the word for "the" (the definite article) attaches to the end of the noun instead of coming before it. The base word is soare (sun). Because it is a masculine noun ending in "-e", it takes the ending -le to become soarele (the sun).
The translation says "in the morning," but there's no word for "in" in the sentence. Why is that?
To say "in the morning", Romanian simply uses the definite form of the noun. The base word is dimineață (morning). By changing the final "-ă" to "-a", it becomes dimineața (literally "the morning"), which Romanians use to mean "in the morning" as a general time of day.
What is the dictionary form of the verb vede?
The dictionary form (infinitive) is a vedea (to see). In this sentence, vede is the conjugated form for "he/she/it sees".
Could I move the word dimineața to the beginning of the sentence?
Yes, Romanian word order is very flexible! You can say Dimineața el vede soarele to emphasize the time of day, though putting it at the end is the standard, neutral way to say it.
