Questions & Answers about Această aplicație este foarte bună.

Why is it această and not acest or aceasta?
Această means "this" when placed before a feminine noun. If it were a masculine or neuter noun, you would use acest. You might also see aceasta, which is used when "this" stands alone as a pronoun (like "This is good") or when it is placed after the noun (aplicația aceasta).
How can I tell that aplicație is a feminine noun?
Nouns ending in -ție (like aplicație, stație, informație) are almost always feminine in Romanian. Because it is feminine, the words describing it (această and bună) must also take their feminine forms.
Why does the sentence use bună instead of just bun?
Adjectives in Romanian must match the gender of the noun they describe. Since aplicație is a feminine noun, the adjective bun (good) changes to its feminine singular form, bună.
Does foarte change its form to match the feminine noun too?
No, foarte (very) is an adverb, which means it describes the adjective (bună) rather than the noun itself. Unlike adjectives, adverbs in Romanian never change their form, so foarte stays exactly the same regardless of the noun's gender or number.
