Questions & Answers about Excursia a fost minunată.
How does the word excursie change to mean "the trip" in Excursia?
In Romanian, the word for "the" (the definite article) attaches to the end of the noun. The base word is excursie (trip). For feminine nouns ending in -ie, you drop the -e and add -a to make it definite, resulting in Excursia.
What tense is a fost?
It is the past tense (perfect compus) of the verb a fi (to be). It is formed using the auxiliary word a (has) and the past participle fost (been). Even though it literally translates to "has been", in English we normally just say "was" for this.
Why does the adjective minunată end in -ă?
Adjectives in Romanian must match the gender and number of the noun they describe. Since excursia is a feminine singular noun, the base adjective minunat (wonderful) changes to its feminine singular form by taking the -ă ending, becoming minunată.
