Questions & Answers about Salonul este închis lunea.
Why is the word for Monday lunea here instead of just luni?
Adding the definite article -a to a day of the week shows that an action happens regularly. While luni just means Monday, lunea means on Mondays or every Monday.
Can I use another phrase to mean 'on Mondays' instead of lunea?
Yes, you can say în fiecare luni, which translates literally to every Monday. Both are perfectly correct, but lunea is a very common shortcut in spoken Romanian.
Why is the adjective închis and not închisă?
What is the -ul at the end of salonul?
It is the definite article, which is equivalent to 'the' in English. For masculine and neuter nouns ending in a consonant, Romanian attaches -ul directly to the end of the word to mean the salon.
