Questions & Answers about Băiatul are două picioare.
Why is the word for the boy written as a single word, băiatul?
In Romanian, the word for the (the definite article) attaches to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word in front. The base word for boy is băiat. Because it is a masculine noun ending in a consonant, we add -ul to the end to make it băiatul (the boy).

Does picioare mean legs or feet?
It means both! In Romanian, the word picior refers to the entire lower limb, from the hip down to the toes. You use the exact same word whether you are talking about a leg or a foot, and context usually makes your meaning clear.
