Questions & Answers about Apartamentul nu are o baie mare.
Why is the word for 'the' attached to the end of Apartamentul?
In Romanian, the word for 'the' (the definite article) is attached to the end of the noun, instead of being a separate word in front like in English. The base word is apartament (apartment), and adding -ul makes it apartamentul (the apartment).
Where is the word for 'does' in nu are (does not have)?
Why is it o baie mare instead of o mare baie?
In Romanian, descriptive words (adjectives) like mare (large) usually come right after the noun they describe. So instead of saying 'a large bathroom' like we do in English, you say 'a bathroom large' (o baie mare).
Would mare change if it described a masculine noun instead of a feminine one like baie?
No! While many Romanian adjectives change their ending depending on whether the noun is masculine, feminine, or neuter, adjectives that end in -e in their basic form (like mare) are special. They stay exactly the same for all singular nouns.
