Questions & Answers about Familia întreagă a venit la masă.
Why does the adjective întreagă come after the noun here, and could I say întreaga familie?
Yes, you can say întreaga familie! When the adjective întreg (entire/whole) is placed before the noun, it takes the definite article (întreaga) and the noun drops it (familie). In this sentence, the noun comes first and keeps the article (familia), so the adjective just follows normally (întreagă).
Could I use toată instead of întreagă to say "the whole family"?
Yes, toată familia is another very common way to say this. The main difference is that toată (all) almost always comes before the noun, and the noun keeps the definite article (familia), whereas întreagă (entire) can comfortably go after it.
Why is the verb a venit in the singular when a family is made up of multiple people?
Why is it la masă without the definite article, since the English translation says "to the table"?
