From Lesson 60:Everyday Clothing·Romanian

Questions & Answers about Această fustă este foarte scumpă.

Why use Această instead of Acest?
Acest is the word for "this" when talking about masculine or neuter nouns. Because fustă (skirt) is a feminine noun, we have to use the feminine version, which is această.
Can I say fusta aceasta instead of această fustă?
Yes, they mean exactly the same thing! Această fustă is slightly more formal. Notice a key grammatical difference: when "this" comes first, the noun uses its basic form (fustă). When "this" comes after, the noun must have the "the" ending attached to it (fusta).
Will foarte change its ending if we talk about multiple skirts?
No, foarte means "very" and it is an adverb. Adverbs never change their spelling in Romanian, regardless of the gender or number of the noun you are describing.
Why does the word for expensive (scumpă) end with an "ă" here?
Adjectives must match the noun they describe. The dictionary form of "expensive" is scump, which is used for masculine nouns. Because fustă is feminine, we add the feminine ending -ă to make it scumpă.
