Questions & Answers about Pisica are un ochi albastru.
Why does the sentence use pisica instead of the dictionary word pisică?
In Romanian, the word for "the" (the definite article) attaches to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word before it. The base word is pisică (cat). By changing the final -ă to -a, you get pisica (the cat).
Ochi ends in an "-i". Doesn't that usually mean a word is plural?
Why is the color word albastru placed after the noun ochi?
Unlike in English, where we say "a blue eye", Romanian descriptive words (adjectives) almost always come right after the noun they describe. So, the sentence translates word-for-word as "The cat has an eye blue".
