Questions & Answers about Mirele poartă un costum negru.

Why does the word for "the groom" end in "-le" instead of the usual masculine "-ul"?
The base word for "groom" is mire. Because it is a masculine noun that ends in -e, it takes the definite article -le to mean "the groom", just like fratele (the brother) or câinele (the dog).
Why is the verb spelled poartă if the infinitive is a purta?
The verb a purta (to wear) undergoes a vowel change in its root when conjugated. For the third-person singular and plural (he/she/they wear), the root vowel u changes to oa, resulting in poartă.
The translation says "is wearing", so why isn't there a helping verb like in English?
Romanian does not have a distinct present continuous tense. The standard present tense verb poartă covers both "wears" as a general habit and "is wearing" at this exact moment.
What gender is costum and how does it affect the adjective negru?
Costum is a neuter noun. Neuter nouns behave like masculine nouns in the singular and feminine nouns in the plural. Because it is singular here, it uses the masculine article un and the masculine singular adjective negru.
